Sabi Wiri Dei
Location: Theater Unique
Rustenvredestraat
Date/Time: January 5 8:00 PM
The 2nd Sabi Wiri Dei in Unique was, if possible, even more successful than the first. “Many political parties would be jealous of such a turnout,” a visitor remarked with a chuckle. The hall was once again packed.
Even during a normal walk through Paramaribo I noticed how many frizzy people were walking around. I was also extremely pleased with the image at the 2nd Sabi Wiri Dei. Where at the first lecture the room was full of relaxed-haired people and a handful of frizzy-haired people, this time it was the other way around. The greatest compliment I have ever received is that it is all because of me. I cannot possibly blow my own trumpet, but not only friends, also hairdressers and the "ordinary" people on the street told me that I have caused a hair revolution. Although I still find it hard to believe, I do find it incredibly nice to hear and I enjoy frizzy hair EVEN more if possible. I do have to watch out that my head does not get big.

The theme of the lecture this time was the transformation to frizzy hair. This is the subject of Going Natural, the new book that will be published in Dutch this year. Since the audience consisted mainly of frizzy-haired visitors, subjects from the book that is yet to be translated were highlighted that would be of interest to everyone. For example, “Mental Transformation” and “Product Use” were discussed.
According to a survey held among a sample of the visitors, the evening was informatively very successful. Compared to the previous time, more facts were presented and the visual material was certainly convincing. Especially the visitors who experienced the lecture for the first time were impressed.
One point of criticism, however, was that this time there was no video screen for those who had not been able to get a seat. This resulted in an overcrowded and sometimes noisy hall. Also the fact that not everyone had received a ticket to have a chance to win a calendar, did not sit well with everyone.
Hairdresser Nicole Simson had not only provided beautiful hairstyles again. She had even made sure that the models had rehearsed a dance. The audience was very enthusiastic about this. I also had help from hairdresser Jannelle behind the scenes this time. Without the 200% commitment of the hairdressers, models and sponsors, the day could not have been organised.
All in all, I think the evening can be called a success. Although I am extremely happy with the turnout, I had not expected such a large audience this time. The lecture was held on a weekday, also the first working day of 2006. Nevertheless, it was a real pleasure to meet kroeshaar.com visitors such as Marjan, Hortensia and Vivica in person. The presence of Lucia Rijker also surprised me very, very pleasantly. For those who do not know her, she is the four-time world champion kick boxer who plays in Million Dollar Baby. A film that won no less than 4 Academy Awards.
I would like to thank everyone for both the candid critiques and the words of praise. Both inspire to perfect the Sabi Wiri Dei. With your learning points and some new ideas I am already working on the next lecture. Until then!
