Event: Hair & Hip Hop Atlanta

Imagine attending an event that has all of your loves mixed together for your enjoyment! I had the pleasure of attending an invite-only event hosted by Alexis of www.CurlsCoilsandKinks.com and Danielle of www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com June 1st at Glambar Salon in Atlanta. This event had a mixture of music, reality tv, and lets not forget hair! The event, Hair & Hip Hop, was an opportunity to mix and mingle with many of Atlanta's bloggers over a discussion focused around Vh1's Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. Gabrielle Corney (Gabi) is a celebrity hairstylist who has created luxury locks for many women of reality tv that I watch as well as other celebrities. Some celebrities you may know are Olivia of Love & Hip Hop, Tionna Smalls from What Chili Wants, Lisa Price of Carol's Daughter, and many more. One of Gabi's many clients, singer K Michelle, who is a cast member of the upcoming Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, was also an attendee.

Gabi gave us many tips on how to have healthy hair whether you're natural, wear weaves, or use relaxers. One of her recommendations that I try to do regularly is deep conditioning weekly. Many of the other tips that Gabi advised were: chemical treatments should be done by professionals, when to do a protein treatment, color, healthy relaxed hair, different oils for the hair, and many other tips. One thing that I absolutely loved was that Gabi removed her clip on extensions from her hair to show us. Gabi uses clip on pieces by Indique Fishnets. They were easy to put in and take out. Gabi will be relocating to Atlanta soon and I cannot wait! She told me she loved my hair upon my arrival.

K Michelle gave us a brief synopsis of what we can look forward to with the show. She discussed her views on all of the cast members, told us what we may perceive of her and the women of the show. When asked what she thought of her cast members relationships, K Michelle stated "I don't read much into another woman's issues. I got my own issues" and that "People can see what you can't see about yourself". Truth. She also gave us a brief song after being requested from a blogger in the audience. She spoke honestly to us and I cannot wait to watch her on the show. I even saw her mouth that she loved my hair! Yay me!!
