When it comes to black women and hair, rain can sometimes be our kryptonite. However, the torrential downpour could stop several black beauties from celebrating the rebranding of Dark & Lovely. For over 45 years, Dark & Lovely has proudly dedicated its legacy to catering to the hair care and styling needs of African American women. In celebration, the haircare brand is unveiling a fresh and new modern look. The new logo and brand aesthetic were all unveiled at the rebranding event hosted by Kela Walker.
The rebranding comes on the heels of Dark & Lovely’s 45th-anniversary celebration in 2017, honoring its launch as the first at-home relaxer and hair color formulated specifically for African American women. The pioneering brand has evolved and is addressing the role hair plays in that expression with the Dark & Lovely campaign, “Dark & Lovely & __________.”
The Dark & Lovely & _______ campaign celebrates those who authentically express who they are and encourages women to recognize their infinite, internal power, helping them to find their individual voice.
“The Dark & Lovely consumer is bold, she is dynamic and she is constantly changing,” states Kristen Blandon, Vice President of Marketing at SoftSheen-Carsen. “To continue to be the brand she chooses for her evolving hair needs, we must evolve too!”
The first updated hair care products are the signature Fade Resist hair color and relaxer product lines. Fade Resist, $5.00, is the #1 hair color for women of color. Its new Nourishing Care conditioner is infused with Vitamin E and Argan Oil to help protect your hair from dryness. Offering 18 shades, the largest shade palette for women of color, the no-drip application provides up to 100% gray coverage. It locks in brilliant shine for up to eight (8) weeks of vibrant, rich conditioning color.
The Dark & Lovely Triple Nourished Silkening Relaxer $7.00, delivers salon-worthy results, leaving your hair feeling nourished and silky smooth. The new Relaxer System helps deliver the conditioning care needed for healthier looking hair. The No-Lye formula helps preserve five signs of healthy hair – moisture, shine, strength, softness, and body. With this new product update, you are able to relax any way you want; whether you want to retouch, tex-tax or spit treat (edges, nape, etc.) for style versatility.
The rebranded Dark & Lovely products are available for purchase at Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Family Dollar, and www.amazon.com.
