SYMPOSIUM RUN-DOWN

Thanks again to all who attended the Symposium! What a GREAT turn out for our first event.

Now, here's the lowdown for all who were there in spirit:

We started with some kickoff questions for our panelists, Ladosha Wright of Stephano and Co. Salon with The Reverence Design Team and Aziza Yasmine of A II Z Naturals, Ltd.

Can you "un-Loc" locs?
What are some transitional styles?
What are some transitional styles not including braids?
What can you do to your hair if you workout?

Then the audience chimed in

Product recommendations?
Can you permanently straighten your curl by flat ironing too much?
Which is better, hot comb or flat iron?
Do you have to chop all your hair off to go Natural?
Can we use another term for "Natural" since we are altering our hair by adding heat?
How will color affect your natural hair?
How important are Consultations? (see my post ARE THEY SERIOUS??)
What are some recommended protein treatments?
What do you do if you have dry hair/scalp?
What are some options for hair thinning?
Who we talk to first about hair/scalp conditions?

After the discussion (which was AWESOME), we had a light reception and ladies got a chance to get 1-on-1 consultations, asked questions to our panelists.

OVERALL a wonderful time of fellowship.  Oh and believe or not...THERE WERE MEN TOO! I was pleasantly surprised by that.
