Texture on the Runway: from a lofty idea to a kick ass reality

02.14.2012 events

This past weekend seems like a blur, albeit a fantastic whirlwind of textured hair love and celebration type of blur. Texture on the Runway was absolutely an amazing event and experience and I can’t believe that after five months of planning that it’s all over!

The idea evolved into a concept called “Texture on the Runway”: four brands showcasing five models apiece in a true runway fashion show.

So let’s talk about New Years hair. Dramatic. Sparkly. Big. Fun. are all words that come to mind when I think about what I’d like to do with my hair. My Damn Fade is nothing if not dramatic and big and fun when its loose, so it looks like I’ve gotta add some sparkle to it. I’ve been trolling the interwebz for some hairspiration pix, but I thought I’d ask YOU my dear naturalistas what YOU’RE doing with your hair to ring in the holidays. Check out my inspiration shots below and how you can send me your pix for my #naturalnewyear gallery

So the Nzuri show was great and I’ve got hundreds of pictures and vids to edit and organize, but first things first: LOLA HAS A NEW LOOK.

I’ve had Damn envy for months since meeting the Damn Salon ladies in February. A couple weeks ago I facebooked Mushiya (founder and owner of the Damn Salon) with this message:

“Mushiya. I’m inspired. it involves me, you, and a pair of clippers. call me.”

….that vision happened and here’s how it all went down. We call it: THE DAMN FADE
