The Dark & Lovely Protective Styles collection was created to help Black women embrace protective styles, support healthy growth and enjoy their hair as a means of self-expression. The range of products covers everything from creating braids and weaves to twists, wigs and locs, all the while supporting long-lasting hydration and strength.
The Hair Hydrator, for example, is a daily moisturizing hair and scalp mist and it combines the power of rice water, rice bran oil and rice protein to boost strength and reduce breakage. To deeply nourish and stimulate the scalp, the collection also incorporates ingredients like avocado oil, aloe vera and peppermint.
As more women are learning to care for their hair at home, prolong their styles and try new styles on themselves, this collection promises to be a must-have.
