So excited to share the latest updates about the ZedHair Natural Hair Meet-up. We have been planning this event for quite some time and announced it in January. You will notice from the  picture above that we are calling it a hair show. This is because outside of the natural hair community, I kept getting a blank stare when I used the term ‘meet-up’.

“A what?” A meet-up.
“What do you mean a meet-up?” It’s where people meet-up to talk about natural hair, share ideas and so on.
“Oh, so you mean it’s a conference?” Kind of. More like a work-shop, maybe.
“Oh, ok. So why don’t you just call it what it is, instead of a ‘meet-up’?” Ok, fine then. We’ll call it a hair show. Happy?
“I’m not the one organising. You can call it what you like.” Huh???
