I attended the Luv & Learn Your Hair event held at the Midtown Partyplex. It was founded and hosted by the one and only natural hair vlogger Taren Guy! It started off with raffle prizes and awesome gift bags by Motions, to a hair style demonstration, and concluded with a panel discussion with Yolanda Renee of Etc Blog Mag, hair care expert Jennifer Rose, and vlogger Kirsten Walker. Everyone spoke candidly about their personal hair journey including the triumphs and struggles. The discussion was an even balance of inspiration and education – which definitely represented Taren’s mission. Check out the pics!

The panel
Dearest Mel! First of all I was too shy (and frankly I was embarrassingly staring at you and salivating) to come up to you during the event in D.C. to tell you how much I absolutely loved your hair and the confidence you exude wearing it the way you do. So I will do it now! You are rocking your own boat that is for sure. I am so glad that I came across your picture, then post, then your blog after perusing around the web within the "natural hair community" sites do further grow and nurture my inspiration to finally cut my hair and begin the journey myself. So here it is, I say thank you, thank you, thank you for embracing your very unique beauty.
Wow! I am humbled that I was able to inspire you to begin your natural hair journey! It's going to be a fun ride (even on those bad hair days). There is nothing like investing in yourself. Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments and if you see me at another event – say Hola!
This site is very good.
