TaliahWaajid World Natural Hair Show Spring 2013 Social Circle #worldnaturalhairshow

Just in case you were under a rock and missed all my exciting social media updates from this weekend, I had the pleasure of working with Natural Hair Queen, Taliah Waajid at her 16th Annual World Natural Hair, Health and Beauty Show in Atlanta!

This was my 2nd year being on the team and I was excited! We did a live taping that aired both days of the show.  I'm not sure if you ever get comfortable in front of the camera, but let my producer, Ms. Erica tell it... I did a pretty good job! Shout out to the ENTIRE Social Circle camera crew and production team for a fun time. 

Me!  I think yellow is my new Spring & Summer color! What y'all think?

Hair Talk: Curly to Straight Solutions with Design Essentials

Are you naturally curly and prefer to wear straight, frizz free hair?

Are you transitioning from relaxed to natural and the “big chop” is not an option for you?

Want the relaxer look, without the potential damage?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, I'm happy to share with you the NEW Strengthening Therapy System by Design Essentials.

STS, is a amino-acid infused Thermal Reconditioning System that will straighten, stretch and smooth frizzy, naturally curly, transitioning and processed hair. All without chemicals!  The best part about STS is that with proper maintenance it gives you up to 12 weeks of smooth, manageable, frizz free hair.  All hair types can benefit and be maintained with the system.  

Strengthening and Transitioning System Products:

Transitioning Mousse - straight to curly transitions of natural hair and relaxed to natural transitions.

Elongation Mousse - maximum natural curl strength with curl control. 

Silkening Spray - treatment/health restoration for processed, weak or damaged hair.

Cleansing Sulfate Free Shampoo – provides gentle cleansing with maximum style benefits. It’s ideal for all hair types and cleanses the hair without stripping of natural oils.  This shampoo is necessary in style maintenance while on the system, otherwise the system is stripped from the hair.

There’s NO chemicals, Formaldehyde or Formaldehyde derivatives in any of the products.

Recommended system tools:

Design Essentials pHusion ProBlow Dryer

Design Essentials PHusion PlatinumTitanium Irons
