Last Sunday I attended a brunch hosted by The Kinks founders, Nomfundo and Zama at Kwa-Muzi lodge in Kyalami, JHB. This was a combination of a hair meet and a launch. We were treated to champagne and of course brunch.
So these ladies have taken it upon themselves to import all these “amazing” products we’ve been reading/hearing about on American blogs & on YouTube to sell them locally. Among others are ranges like Curls, Miss Jessie’s, Shea Moisture and Hairveda.
I started at church (yes, I still would have even if it was Nelson Mandela that called for a meeting) and as a result I was an hour late.
What I saw as I was pulling off was so heartwarming, given the history of hair meets in South Africa. It looked to me that we were getting somewhere as naturals in SA….love progress.
It was an outside setting so this gave us a pretty lekke outdoor view, until it started raining and we had to move inside.
I was so EXCITED to finally get to meet Good Hair Diaries’ Kavuli Binase in person!! What a pleasant surprise…really made my day I’ll say. The funny thing was that it was as if we’d known each other for years…so cool.
The other ladies there were such a wonderful bunch to chill with… coz that’s how naturals…kinda..roll.
Kavuli and I were the only hair bloggers and speakers of the event as well. She pretty much covered everything and anything hair related. That chick knows hair…like…*sigh*.
And then the floor was opened for questions, which she answered effortlessly. I then followed with my natural hair journey, challenges and all.
Nomfudo then started her presentation on they hair care products they’ll be selling. Some of them will be a bit heavy on the pocket but hey…anything for good hair right…
Overall, it was a really nice event. It’s always nice meeting new people, particularly naturals in Jo’burg. The Kinks ladies did an outstanding job. Food & drinks were on point. The event overlapped; you know how it is when female creatures get together.
