No.8, West 16th Street/NYC
#LOVEMYCURLS trended well last night at the jam packed Dark and Lovely celebration of its new Au Naturalé line of products…aimed at those wanting to save some time …but not skip the style.
Hydration, and moisturizing ingredients for curl defining, frizz free, crunch-less hold, and gentle sulfate free shampoos/conditioners- formulated into Au Naturalé---with a targeted product out there for what ever hairstyle someone would want… braids, Bantu Knots, soft coils etc. Bonus-the prices-all at $9.99 available on the website or in stores coast to coast.
AND Au Naturale products are free of nasty ingredients like paraben, petrolatum, mineral oil, drying alcohol…which make us wonder why any other line of hair products would use any of the aforementioned.
At a recent Beauty Press event---there were two exhibitors that also focused on natural hair products …that transcend ethnic backgrounds…imo -all hair needs moisture-it's just a matter of how much product---and what kind of product…and the weather.
STILL family owned Design Essentials shampoos, conditioners, wet and dry styling products, color and relaxer/wave products are launching big time and will soon arrive on Duane Reade shelves---NYC's one on every corner drugstore version of Starbucks.
Sampling boxes via monthly memberships are popular ---and imo a great way to try out goodies without a full blown commitment of mind and money.
Curly by Nature's Curlkit-selectively "sorts through the clutter"…and sends off generous samples of products that are focused on moisturizing, cleansing and maintaining that perfect curly hair coif ---PLUS discount coupons, an online shop and and detailed how to booklets…with very good tips!
