NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Proudly dedicated to its legacy to catering to the hair care and styling needs of African American women for over 45 years, the all-new and empowered Dark & Lovely, has officially unveiled a fresh new look and feel for the modern day. Having undergone a full brand revitalization, including a new logo and brand aesthetic, Dark & Lovely is redefining expectations of cultural, traditional constructs and norms for women of color. The pioneering brand has evolved and is addressing the role hair plays in that expression with the Dark & Lovely & __ campaign.
This rebrand comes on the heels of Dark & Lovely's 2017 45th anniversary celebration, honoring its launch as the first at-home relaxer and hair color formulated specifically for African American women. From past to present, the brand has stayed true to its roots of helping people of color to embrace their unique looks and styles by creating the most innovative products to help them define and express their beauty.
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-Carson. "To continue to be the brand she chooses for her evolving hair needs, we must evolve too!"
Iconically known for its growing collection, complete with fade-resistant hair colors, Dark & Lovely has continued to change with the times. This rebrand will continue to showcase those efforts by not only providing women of color with state-of-the-art hair care technologies that they can trust, but also empowering them to feel and be confident in who they are, both inside and out.
The all new Dark & Lovely is just getting started and will continue to evolve with new innovations to come in 2020. The first being upgrades to its signature Fade Resist hair color and relaxer product lines.
