African Pride intros Black Castor Miracle collection
African Pride is looking to help women change the way they care for their hair before, during and after wearing such protective styles as braids, locs, weaves and wigs, with its new collection.
The Black Castor Miracle line, which contains eight products, was formulated with black castor oil, coconut water, jojoba, tea tree, peppermint, coconut and soybean oils, coconut milk and shea butter, the Savannah, Ga.-based company said.
"Through our research, we know that within the past 12 months, more than 65% of African American women have worn their hair in a protective style," Kendria Strong, the director of marketing at African Pride, said. "We also know that consumers experience breakage and damage while wearing these styles due to lack of knowledge around proper hair care so we made sure that Black Castor Miracle products were simple, multi-functional and created with the highest quality ingredients to help them protect what's theirs."
The line looks to moisturize and prep, style and protect, refresh and seal, and takedown and detangle while nourishing hair and scalp. Featured products in the collection include:
Items in the Black Castor Miracle collection are priced between $4.49 to $4.99, and can be found on the shelves of beauty supply stores nationwide.
