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.”
Founded in 2014 by Joe Segel (best known as the founder of QVC), and salon owner Jodi Dery, ProfilePro LLC is a pioneer in customized hair care. The ProfilePro family of brands includes HairRx Advanced Hair Care, Cloud 10 Customized Hair Care and ProfilePro Home Hair Salon

The Atlanta metropolitan area continues to grow by leaps and bounds, coming in No. 4 in cities with the biggest number of people moving in. Georgia’s largest city is only behind Dallas, Houston and Phoenix in number of people moving in, despite rising property prices, according to new numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Among America’s fastest growing regions, metro Atlanta has about 5.7 million residents, making it the ninth-largest metro area in the country. Much of the gains are happening in North Fulton County, which is the most affluent area of the metro area and state.
Just under 600,000 residents have moved into the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell area from 2010 and 2017, the census reports.
Since that time period only 12 other regions had more people added to their populations. Atlanta’s business climate, including a robust startup environment and the influx of Fortune 500 companies looking to plant roots here, has made the region a leading metro area.
Top 10 Metro Areas by Population (2016)
MSA 2016 Estimate
1 New York, NY 20,153,634
2 Los Angeles, CA 13,310,447

Two well-respected Atlanta eateries have made the list of OpenTable’s Best Restaurants for a Big Night Out.

“The list features an array of buzzworthy restaurants, from up-and-coming to established, trendy to tried-and-true, across 24 states and Washington D.C.” said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer at OpenTable. “Whatever your notion of a big night out entails, whether it’s a bustling bar scene or a spot to see-and-be-seen, fun is on the menu at any of these honorees.”
TWO Urban Licks, located at 820 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, Atlanta, GA 30306, is one of the hippest bars and food spots in ATL. One of the city’s busiest restaurants, Two Urban Licks is a well-known date-night restaurant and is known for its lively yet romantic ambience.
The Optimist, located at 914 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318, is an opulent eatery known as a seafood lover’s paradise and must-do dining for couples. From the oysters to the drinks, it’s a place that knows what it’s doing, from start to finish.
