Master Your Kinks Workshop at Darcy's Botanicals

I was so excited to be invited to attend the Master Your Kinks natural hair workshop at Darcy's Botanicals, A Hair and Body Care Boutique located in Marietta, Ga.  

The event was hosted by:

Lysandra Taylor - Owner of Darcy's Botanicals

Telise Adams - Director of Education for Darcy's Botanicals 

Hayley Dennis, Owner of Ma Mocha Naturals

This was the 1st in a series of educational workshops that will be presented to teach naturals how to care for and style their own natural hair through hands on training.  

The topic of today's Master Your Kinks Session was "Bantu Knots"

Bantu Knots

Telise was very thorough in demonstrating how to do Bantu Knots.  She also showed how Darcy's Botanicals Hair Care line could be used for this style.  

Once the demonstration was complete every attendee was off to their own stations to practice the technique on their own hair!  

A DJ spun music in the background and prizes were given away every half hour.

Prize Winners!

Gourmet Food was served courtesy of Chef Dontrell of Bon Vivant Private Catering.

Marinated Vege Salad w/Arugula
 & Fetta Viniagrette

I had always wanted to visit Darcy's Botanicals ever since I heard that they opened a storefront in Atlanta.  I was very pleased to find a very inviting atmosphere and welcoming people who seemed eager to assist and who were very positive energy wise.

Sage NaturalCeuticals

It's always a good time when I can meet up with my Natural Sistahs, meet new people and talk Natural Hair! And a good time is what was had when we met up with Cindy Primm of Sage NaturalCeuticals.
In attendance was our MC and organizer - CurlyTopLori (Our other organizer Lexi could not attend), MahoganyKnots, Knapsgirl, Atlanta Natural Hair Care and me - TheSistahChick.
Cindy opened Sage in 2008 after she saw a need for a one stop shop for people with Natural Hair who enjoy quality products. At Sage NaturalCeuticals, if you are Product Junkie like me, then you'll be like a kid in a candystore! When you enter the store you are met with beautiful, serene & subtly colored decor that boasts light sand colored walls (some textured) and pristine white shelves that wrap around the store. Each shelf is lined with all of the Natural Hair goodies that you have dreamed of. A large window in the front of the store provides a lot of natural light from the sun which enhances the modern lighting fixtures that hang high above. The floors are covered in dark chocolate tile in beautiful contrast.
Cindy personally handpicks each product that she carries in her store. Each product must meet her standards. They have to be at least 97% organic, they must have a following, and they must have friendly packaging that lists every ingredient. Sage also sells body & skin care products as well as fragrant candles, handbags and even gourmet chocolates. Product Lines include, Blended Beauty, AfroVeda & Bee Mine to name a few. Our meeting included demonstrations by application using the following products that are also carried:




Uncle Funky's Daugher - Curly Magic
Darcy's Botanicals - Natural Coils Curling Jelly
Donna Marie - MiraCurl Curling Gelly
Komaza Care - Coconut Hair Pudding


As Cindy applied these 4 products seperately to each of the 4 sections on the models hair, she explained the different types of curl stimulators that are out on the market right now, and how they differ. She also demonstrated a "palming effect" that she uses to apply product for maximum coverage. The really cool thing about Sage is that you can try the products BEFORE you buy! Thats right!! for every product that she carries, there is a sample of that product available for testing. I could go on and on about the fantastic visit that we had at Sage, but i am going to do you one better and just show you!
