SoftSheen-Carson Laboratories® Dark and Lovely® Expands Its Coveted Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Collection with New Innovations

Rock you locks like an it girl with three new recipes from Dark and Lovely’s Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Line

Dark and Lovely® Au Naturale, the award-winning #1 new hair care line for natural hair*, is excited to introduce three new recipes for perfect curl elongation: Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Easy Twist Gel N’ Butter, Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Slick Slip Leave-In Conditioner and Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage No Crunch Softening Pomade. Today, put a rest to curl mixology, and say yes to these Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage stylers, perfect for all natural textures.

Cocktailing products, where naturalistas play mixologist to achieve custom hair brews, has been a huge trend for impeccable curly styles. A scoop of this, two pumps of that, and a hint of thiscocktailing can be challenging and time consuming. Thus, Dark and Lovely Au Naturale has developed these three new recipes to help simplify the natural hair styling process.

“When the curly community can’t find the perfect product, they have a tendency to take matters into their own hands by cocktailing products, creating unique formulas to fit their needs,” says Mezei Jefferson, Director of Education, SoftSheen-Carson. “We wanted to create a new set of products designed to do the miracle-work for specific natural hair styling needs, so curly girls can achieve the looks they want without the hassle. From twist-outs to conditioning, these unique products tackle everyday issues and will enhance any natural hair care regimen.”

Introducing new natural hair styling innovations:

  • Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Slick Slip Leave-In Conditioner – Detangling anti-shrinkage recipe that seals in long-lasting moisture, refreshes style, and leaves hair hydrated and soft. Great as a foundation for styling.
  • Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Easy Twist Gel N’ Butter – The perfect ratio of conditioning gel and moisturizing butter for hassle-free twist-outs naturalistas have been looking for. The first “No Need to Cocktail Recipe” fights frizz, nourishes curls, and provides long-lasting touchable hold and shine without curdling.
  • Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage No Crunch Nourishing Pomade – Crafted to restore softness, maintain shine, and seal in moisture for 3x softer curls. Perfect for wash n’ go styles, leaves hair with no greasy residue.

The Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage maintenance and styling line is infused with Mango Oil and Bamboo Milk to provide all-day hydration, elongation, definition and nourishment for all curl types. Featuring an exclusive anti-shrinkage recipe, these products are specially formulated to address the unique needs of naturally curly hair textures to fight curl shrinkage, frizz and elongate curls all-day.

Dark and Lovely Au Naturale collections contain no drying alcohol, no mineral oil, no petrolatum, no sulfates and no parabens**.

The new Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage line was made available

beginning in January 2015 in mass, drug and beauty supply stores nationwide. For locations, visit www.darkandlovely.com/Au-Naturale.

Maria Menounos Flaunts SheaMoisture Beauty at the Golden Globes

Actress, personality and ultimate Hollywood beauty, Maria Menounos, hit the Red Carpet for the Golden Globes as both a guest and host. Maria looked stunning with a dewy complexion and subtle, smoky eye created by her friend and go-to makeup artist, Dimitris Giannetos. Together her hair and makeup were the perfect complement to her navy blue floor length dress.

 

DIMITRIS GIANNETOS INSPIRATION:

The true definition of femininity, Maria Menounos, and her bestie Dimitris Giannetos took inspiration from the Spring/Summer 2015 Chanel Fashion Show when creating her makeup look. To complement her edgy dress, Dimitris kept her hair and makeup simple, like she had just emerged from the ocean—dewy and beautiful.

Vanautu Nude Open
Color: Vanautu Nude

 

HER SKIN:

  • To achieve a luminous and creamy canvas, Dimitris prepped Maria’s skin with SheaMoisture Primer before applying SheaMoisture Sheer Foundation in Havasu Hazel, a shade ½ tone darker than her natural skin tone, creating the beachy glow from the Chanel runway.
  • For a soft contour, he applied the SheaMoisture Color Correcting, Contouring & Highlighting Palette to the cheekbones for additional definition and sculpting.
  • Once contoured, Dimitris applied a soft powder to Maria’s face, SheaMoisture Pressed Powder in Snowdonia Fawn.
  • The final touch was a hint of the “delicious” SheaMoisture Illuminating Powder, Vanuata Nude on the cheekbones.

 

HER EYES:

  • Dimitris kept eyes fresh with a dusting of SheaMoisture Wet/Dry Eyeshadow in Cecilia to act as highlight against her perfect, dewy skin.
  • To complete, black Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara were layered to the lashes.

 

HER LIPS:

  • For a yummy, glistening nude lip, Dimitris applied SheaMoisture Lipgloss in Caroline prior to Maria tossing it in her bag for touch ups.

What Percentage of Afro-Designated Hair Care Products and Distribution do Afro Americans Represent and Control?

A look at demographics

Afro descendant people in America are at the most 12 percent of the population, but are consumers of more than 33 percent of all hair care products sold in America and professional hair care services (i.e. cosmetology and barber). They represent up to one third of students enrolled in schools of cosmetology and barbering.

The Korean beauty supply monopoly in America controls about 85 percent of Afro designated hair care products sold in beauty supply stores, and 60 percent of the entire beauty supply outlets in America. However the Koreans are only 3 percent of the American population. This is not a criticizing statement because the Koreans seized an opportunity to service a market that was under severed in the early 60s, but is now saturated. Afro Americans are the most prolific consumers in this country, but they have little control of what is being consumed. This is not only true in the hair care market, but in other consumer item arenas such as automobiles, electronics and many more.

In the time prior to the early 1960s, Afro Americans had control of 85 percent of the production of hair care and cosmetics used by these consumers, but now they only own less than 20 percent of the production of these products. Many of the well-known products are not owned by Afro producers, and not even owned by any American based firms. They are owned and controlled by “off shore” firms such as L’Oreal (France), Wella (Germany), Debar (India) and Lever Industries (U.K.).

Although there have been many changes in production and distribution of products, the one thing that has not changed is the Afro American beauty and barbering profession. The only real change is who produces and supplies the products they use. Most cosmetologist and barbers are not aware of who the producers are of the products they depend on, as long as it does not disrupt their day-to-day operations.

AMBI-CC Cream-LightMedium-tube-121014

Ambi Introduces the First Color Product in the AMBI® Skincare Line

For decades women of color have depended on AMBI® Skincare to help their skin look flawless. Now, that task has just become easier than ever with the introduction of new AMBI® EVEN & CLEAR CC+ Cream Even Tone Environmental Shield – the first color product in the AMBI® Skincare Line! Specially formulated to match the rich tones of women of color, this rich elegant CC+ Cream contains argan oil, shea butter, and antioxidants to moisturize the skin.

            There are many exciting benefits about this new multi-tasking product, according to Laurence Dryer, Ph.D., Director of Portfolio Development and Head of R&D for Valeant Pharmaceuticals, North America OTC skincare products. AMBI® CC+ Cream provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen protection from UV sun rays that can accelerate the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. This sunscreen is formulated not to leave the skin looking ashy or gray. “The addition of SPF 30 is significant,” explains Dr. Dryer, “because many CC creams offer sunscreen with only SPF 20 and may leave a chalky residue on the skin. AMBI® CC+ Cream provides a higher level of sun protection with quality pigments, without sacrificing a luxurious feel and great coverage.”

Available in Light/Medium and Medium/Dark, AMBI® CC+ Cream is designed to even skin tone instantly with soft focus technology, while helping to shield your skin from environmental elements that may cause uneven skin tone, dry out the skin, and accelerate fine lines and wrinkles. AMBI® EVEN & CLEAR CC+ Cream Even Tone Environmental Shield will be available at national mass, drug, and beauty supply retail stores in March 2015. www.shopambi.com

The Best Kept Secret in the Hair Care Business

Every year for the last 12 years there has been a unique professional cosmetology hair show in Los Angeles, California—Spectrum International Beauty Expo (SIBE)—that is hosted by Ms. Doris Mosley, a very highly respected cosmetologist and educator in the beauty industry. She has taught classes on almost every aspect of the industry. Twelve years ago she decided to share her insight with others on a broad scale by putting on a show that highlighted advanced education in the professional cosmetology arena. She also invited other well-known and motivated educators in the field to participate and share their experiences with the attendees.

Later she added a professional trade show that featured the latest innovations in products and techniques related to the field of advanced cosmetology. The show started as a small affair in church halls then escalated to large hotel banquet halls such as the Radisson and Marriott hotels. Last year it outgrew the hotels and was presented at the Los Angeles Convention Center where it is being held this year on March 29 and 30.

Many people outside of the L.A. area are unaware of the event, so now through this medium it is being presented to all who hunger for knowledge and personal insight to broaden their horizon within their chosen field of endeavors. This is the place to be.

If you are a vendor looking for a venue to present your product or service in the third largest market in the USA, this is it. The L.A. Convention center is located in the heart of the Los Angeles entertainment area and hotel mecca.

Bo
Bo Langley

 

Longtime Employee of Wahl Clipper Corporation, Bo Langley, Passed Away January 31

Longtime employee of Wahl Clipper Corporation, Bo Langley, died January 31, 2015. He was 67. He is admired and remembered by the 2,500 members of the Wahl Clipper Corporation Family.

Mr. Langley was a member of the Wahl Clipper family for 17 years before retiring last May. He spent most of that time as the Director of Sales and Marketing for the Professional Division at Wahl. In 2012, he relocated to South Carolina where he handled Kayline by Wahl, as well as the Wahl 5-Star Series and the company’s Mexico distribution.

“He looked forward to putting his feet up and relaxing in South Carolina,” said Jim Wahl, Executive Vice President, Wahl Clipper Corporation. “We let him do it two years earlier which turned out to be a Godsend.”

Langley and Wahl met in 1997 when Wahl was looking for someone to help with marketing. Wahl called Bennie Lowery, the Vice President of Sally Beauty and said, “I’m looking for somebody to handle a little bit of sales, but mainly internal marketing. Do you have anybody in mind?”

Heading north from Texas was Langley. He was a teddy bear of a man, with a Southern drawl, who used to be a judge in Atlanta. It may have seemed unlikely on the surface, but Langley quickly proved to be a perfect fit for Wahl’s company, and being new to the clipper industry, he brought revolutionary thinking.

“He just had so many great ideas,” Wahl said. “He studied law. He ran a beauty store. He spoke several languages. But when he got into a product that he hadn’t worked with before, his creative juices went wild and he was just excellent. When you get into something new, you don’t realize what can’t be done, so you do it. He had a dozen or more patents. He was proud to put those little Einstein stickers all over his office. The engineers loved him because he was so creative.”

Langley was hired for the job of internal marketing, but was given license to explore. As a result, he made huge contributions that accelerated Wahl Clipper Corporation into its current position of prominence in the industry.

Langley pioneered Wahl’s 5-Star line of ethnic-oriented barber products, including the introduction of ultra-close-cutting trimmers like the Detailer and the Hero. During the past two years, one of Langley’s jobs was to grow the 5-Star line. He communicated with stylists through social media, and created buzz about how to use the products.

Langley had a keen focus on clipper blade innovation throughout his career and was instrumental in patenting Wahl’s 6×0 blade on its Balding Clipper, which boosted sales of Wahl’s zero-overlap surgical blades on several units.

He also recognized crossover appeal and began to repackage products marketed to barbers for hair stylists.

Langley would even disassemble Wahl clippers in his spare time to find ways to improve the designs or develop a new tool.

“He’d be so psyched about clippers he would go home and take clippers apart in the garage,” Wahl said. “He loved getting his hands on things.”

Before retiring, Langley helped recruit Jim Wahl’s son, Lance, into the business. Langley took Lance under his wing. He mentored him on everything he knew about the industry, including the importance of personal relationships and always being yourself with customers.

“I learned a great deal from Bo on how to read people and help them with their goals, but at the same time always keep Wahl’s best interests first and foremost,” said Lance Wahl, Director of Sales and Marketing, Wahl Clipper Corporation Professional Division. “He was very competitive and knew how to repackage old school concepts into a new marketing approach. Even though he could play the role of a good ole boy, he was one of the most intelligent and sharp-witted people I knew.”

In addition to all the ideas, Langley was also blessed with the “gift of gab.” He could strike up a good conversation with anyone and treated everyone with respect. Friends joked that even his competitors couldn’t help but like him, even if he was stealing sales away.

Langley excelled at whatever he did; rising from lawyer to judge, and climbing the ladder at such companies as Belson Products, Save-Way Beauty Supply and Wahl Clipper Corporation.

“I had breakfast with him almost every morning for fifteen years. He was my best friend,” said Jim Wahl. “He had so much potential. The life he lived, he lived 67 years of burning the candle at both ends. It would have taken the rest of us 134 years to do what he did. He was that good.”

Langley is survived by his wife, Michelle, five children and six grandchildren.
