Recap: The Freedom Party 90's Jam

Recap

The Freedom Party 90's Jam @ The Howard Theatre

Prince said it best, "tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999..." and party we did!
The party lasted well into the night, with attendees not thinking twice about the hour of sleep lost. There were guest appearances by Britney Spears, Kris Kross and Missy Elliot.... 's dopplegangers; and a cash prize for best nineties outfit. The turn out was greater than expected. A mix up of party goers from all walks of life came together under one roof to celebrate the epicness that was the nineties era. It felt good to take it back and get a dose of what it would actually be like to be of club age in that era. The music was good, the clothes were baggy and the vibe was ill. I overheard talks that The Freedom Party may become a monthly "thing" here in DC, as it is in New York and Chicago. I'd definitely be all over that.

This was my only pic from the night; a selfie en route to the party. Unfortunately, it barely shows my nineties outfit attempt: baby tee, plaid pants, cowrie shell choker and this jean jacket tied around my waist. The spice girl platforms and brown lipstick brought the fun.

Here are a few of the products that have become my best friends on my natural hair journey.

L to R:

Aussie Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)

My go-to leave in conditioner. I use this when my hair is soaking wet, fresh out of the shower.

 Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream, 8.5 ounce

This is my second favorite product when it comes to defining my curls. It has a light fresh scent that I love.

Organic Coconut Oil 14 oz.
I use this when I want to condition my hair throughout the day. It leaves my hair feeling very soft and moisturized, and the fact that it is organic doesn't hurt.

Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream, 6 Ounce
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PRODUCT EVER. It does exactly as the name reads... defines my curls to perfection. I can't tell you all how many of these tubs I go through. If you're looking for a new product to try... try this.

Shea Moisture Smoothie & Treatment Masque Duo

This is a new product that I've been using for about a month. It's a little heavier than what I'd like, so it's something I would use as a back up to the Curl Defining Cream and Curl Control Cream. I'm not sure if I'd buy it again when this tub runs out. I'd give it 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Ion Volume Builder
When it comes to my hair, the bigger the better. This helps on days when I have freshly washed hair and want to try to build volume that I usually can only achieve on the second or third day. I just spray it in at the roots and brush it through. (I brush out the bottom layers of my hair to achieve the biggest fro/ bush possible.)
