    Survey: Women of Color Prefer Natural Hair

    2 Min Read

    Instead of “going natural,” a majority of women of color prefer to “keep it natural,” according to a new survey.

    Seventy percent of the 1,200 women in the Cocotique Subscriber Survey responded that they prefer to wear their hair natural, which was defined as curly, coily, kinky or fro. Only 11 percent  said they opted for  relaxed or protective styles.  While 6 percent prefer to straighten their hair with heat, and 2 percent prefer locs.

    Survey: Women of Color Prefer Natural Hair, Customized Formulas

    The findings highlight that many women, despite decades of the contrary, are embracing their natural features and looking for ways to accent them rather than de-emphasize their looks.

    Cocotique, a deluxe beauty box subscription service for women of color and HairRx Advanced Hair Care, collaborated in the survey as part of the 2018 Women of Color Hair Care Report.

    “Customization is a strong trend in hair care, especially among women of color,” Dana Hill, Cocoteque founder and CEO, said in a written statement. “Women of color have a wide range of textures and it’s difficult to determine which product works best for a particular texture. It’s important for companies to embrace and celebrate this uniqueness. Companies like HairRx, that offer options for customers to find products for their specific hair types and concerns, will win in the marketplace.”

    Other report findings include:

    • 90 percent prefer luxurious lather to light lather in shampoo.
    • When it comes to scent, 39 percent prefer coconut, 22 percent love lavender, 16 percent enjoy jasmine, 12 percent like citrus and 10 percent would choose vanilla.

    “Respondents indicate a variety of preferences, which is why HairRx provides 165 formulations, each designed to address specific hair care goals,” says Ellen Langas, Co-CEO of ProfilePro LLC, parent company of HairRx. “We invite customer feedback and utilize survey results like to provide the ultimate customization experience.”

    2 Min Read

    French fashion designer Pierre Cardin is the subject of a fashion exhibition put on by Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). It opens this week and will run until Sept. 30.

    The retrospective SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film exhibition focuses on Cardin and his futuristic designs.

    SCAD FASH Focuses On Pierre Cardin’s Futurism 

    Describing his principal philosophy, Cardin explained, “The clothes I prefer are the garments I invent for a lifestyle that does not yet exist — the world of tomorrow.” The exhibition celebrates Cardin’s spirit and vision, both unwaveringly inspired by the future.

    Pierre Cardin has always been a futurist, and innovative thinking has served as the cornerstone of his immense career success. What better way to celebrate his legacy as a pioneer of design and business practice-in fashion, global commerce, art, architecture, advertising, entertainment-than a newly curated exhibition of his work at SCAD, the world’s preeminent university for creative professions?” said SCAD president and founder Paula Wallace in a written statement.

    Wallace added: “Come to SCAD FASH to see what Pierre saw. Come celebrate the man, the creator, the legend. Come step into the future he saw for us all.”

    The exhibition is open to the public with the cost of museum admission. Admission is free for all museum members, as well as SCAD students, faculty and staff with a valid SCAD Card. For more information on the exhibition, visit scadfash.org.

  • Yuengling’s Golden Pilsner Debuts In Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    (Editor’s note: This is a sponsored post. Read more about our sponsored content.)

    Yuengling is introducing its first new core product in nearly 20 years with the debut of its Golden Pilsner, which is due in several markets — including Atlanta — on April 1.

    Yuengling Golden Pilsner is described as  a contemporary pilsner “crafted with the perfect balance of hop and malt character for crisp, smooth refreshment.”

    Yuengling Golden Pilsner brings springtime hops

    Golden Pilsner is Yuengling’s first year-round beer to debut in 17 years.

    “Yuengling Golden Pilsner is our unique interpretation of a refreshing pilsner, with all of the qualities consumers have come to expect from Yuengling in a beer that is highly sessionable and full of flavor,” said Jen Yuengling, 6th generation brewer, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. “We continue to listen to our fans and we saw an opportunity to deliver a new Yuengling beer that complements our core portfolio of iconic beers including Traditional Lager, Light Lager, and Black & Tan.”

    The all malt beer’s specs — 4.7% ABV and 135 calories — compare favorably to the elite pale and specialty malts, combining Hallertau and Saaz hops to form a naturally bold and clean finish.  “We spent over 18 months developing this beer and believe it is a great choice for outdoor, social and active occasions. We’re excited for consumers to try it,” said Yuengling.

    Golden Pilsner will be available  in cans and bottles initially in several markets but expand rapidly in May to Yuengling’s entire 22-state footprint by the end of the year. To find where Yuengling beers are sold visit https://www.yuengling.com/find-our-beer.
