Hi All,
I thought we would share a run down of the Bank Holiday weekend events. You may find it difficult to choose which events to attend this Bank Holiday weekend or maybe you plan to attend them all starting with Curlvolution! I know I am struggling to decide which ones I can go to.
Saturday May 25th
Kicking of the Bank Holiday Weekend on Saturday May 25th, 2013 is Curvolution.
With these vendors:
Be sure to also check out the latest Hair Care Vendor to hit the scene 'Naturally Nourishing' and pick up samples of the Fountain Oils while you are there.
Naturally Nourishing is an online store and mobile market place, dedicated to supplying the very best natural hair, beauty and lifestyle products.
Naturally Nourishing stock ranges that use natural ingredients that nourish mind, body and soul. They endorse all of the products sold on the site as they use them as well!
They also offer a hair braiding, twisting and plaiting service, as well as party packages, where they attend your special gatherings; be it a baby shower, girly night in or family get together and bring along a selection of hair and beauty products for you to try before you buy.
