International Hair & Beauty Show Review / Product Haul

The International Hair & Beauty Show boost to be "The Largest Multicultural Beauty Show Where All Hair Textures CoExist"

Hair Skin Body & Mind

The Theme: Define Your Beauty



The show was held at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, NJ. I was given a one day ticket to this 2-day event, since I had never attended this show I was excited to check it out. Being a true education and product junkie this would be the perfect way to spend a Monday.

Sadly, I do not think the show was worth the gas, tolls or hour and 40 min drive from Philadelphia to Secaucus. So let's jump right in to the products that I brought , cause shopping makes everything better.

Natural Hair Products:

Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Reconstructive Finishing Elixir w/ Sea Kelp & Argan Oil for Dry, Damaged Hair
Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque w/ Sea Kelp & Argan Oil for Dry, Damaged Hair
Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Souffle w/ Agave Nectar & Flax Seed Oil for Thick, Curly Hair

The rich ingredients found in this product line really grabbed my attention:

Sea Kelp- Mineral-rich nutrition seals and smoothes hair cuticle
Argan Oil restores shine while helping promote hair elasticity.
Shea Butter deeply moisturizes while conditioning hair and scalp.
Coconut Oil hydrates and protects while reducing frizz.
Agave Nector delivers soft hold and body with a smooth after-feel.
Flax Seed Oil is rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids, Fax Seed Oil promotes strength while imparting shine

The show deal was 3 for $25.00. I had to give them a try for that price!

I also brought a natural hair product from Design Essentials
Natural Honey & Shea Edge Tamer for Curly to Tightly Coiled Textures

I tested the Design Essentials Edge Tamer on a client receiving a Natural Hair Updo.
It smoothed and tamed not only her edges but helped make great ponytail sections for this updo.
Unruly gray hair did not cause a problem for this product either.

 Design Essentials had a great show deal : 6 Finishing Products for $40.00

Form Professional Holding Spray : This volumizing spray works wonders for my thin hair clients and hair extension wearers wanting full bodied looks. It gives beautiful sheen and it's humidity resistant which is a plus for natural hair styles.
Sleek Max Edge Control : New for the Design Essentials line- Maximum Hold gives longer, stronger hold on those edges and ponytails
Detail Extra -Hold High Gloss Setting Lotion  I am excited to try this on a new wig I just finished.
Silk Essentials is for relaxed or natural hair and it works very well on virgin hair extensions. Very light weight shine.
Reflections Liquid Shine- I need shine in all forms ( except can oil sheens= the worst)

My Favorite Find From The Show is a  Flat Spray Bottle from "Wet Spray" the same people who makes my favorite detangling brush " The Wet Brush". It was only $4.00 and perfect for my Traveling Styling Kit. Super space saver!

 I also brought a 6-pack of Control Clips form La-Brasiliana -You can never have to much of these in your kit.

To make things easier for you I have put my favorite product haul finds into groups for you. I searched the web to find the best price and put it all in the same place for easy assess.

C.Wright Wigs: Mixed Media Wig

 

I set aside a traditional wig base for this project. I used a BASEBALL CAP instead. 

Check out how I did it in this video below. The photo shoot for this project was great. I was able to be really creative and edgy with the look.

 The boots are from my closet ( ...yes I've worn them and they make me extremely tall, they are my Eddy Monster boots -I love them) 

The top the model is wearing was also pulled from my personal collection. It's a vintage YSL piece . 

The Makeup and Nails  done by Yours Truly as well. 

                         

My Rolling In The Carolinas Wig

Last weekend The Philly Bombshells ( the female rollerskate club that I belong to) and I went to Charlotte North Carolina for 2 days of skating, socializing and the launch of my new online store CWrightWigs.com.

I wanted to share my journey with you as much as I can . There's so much to be done.  


Check out the wig that I built for myself to wear for the weekend. I had less than a day to do it smh....so pressed for time but I turned out GREAT!

I used a horseshoe pattern track placement until I reached the crown, Black Nylon Tread & a C-Curved Needle  to build this wig

Logo Inspiration to Creation

I went to Michael's Arts & Craft store to purchase sewing machine thread for a wig project I was working on and instantly became inspired .

 I knew exactly what I needed and should have been in and out. Quick purchase and done. But I can NEVER do that, I always walk up and down the aisles of this store to give my creativity a gilt. Just as I  decided to end my stroll and head to the check out area I found the best display collection ever. The colors spoke to me and stopped me in my tracks. This was the color combination that I wanted for my new brand. 

C. Wright Wigs & Hair Peace logo was inspired by these images and design.
