The brand has grown from strength to strength since its British debut in 2005 and the landscape for Afro hair care has transformed dramatically in this time too! I remember when the brand was first launched – there was really nothing like it in the UK -a premium brand for the Woman of Colour! Little did I know that I would be working with the brand once I started this blog! Mizani UK and the Unleashed Potential team that look after its PR, have supported my blog from the get go, be it through giveaways, covering the L’Oreal AFRO Look Awards, product samples to test and the opportunity to attend the press events for the unvieling of the UK brand ambassadors Shingai Shoniwa and Beverly Knight!

We have come a long way baby!

Prior to finding out more about the brand’s journey to date, the guests had the opportunity to network and sample the delightful cupcakes and nibbles…

So excited to have all of our wonderful bloggers arrive at the #MizaniCurlPower event this evening!

…and be treated to a manicure from the Essie team!

The evening was formally opened by Sharleen Hunter, the director of Unleashed Potential, who then welcomed award winning stylist Charlotte Mensah , to the stage, whom demonstrated how to achieve a straw set on natural hair. She mentioned that ‘setting’ has seen a resurgence as it is a great way to achieve lush curls on natural hair.

We then heard from Jessica Osunsami, the MIZANI Brand Manager, who shared a video showcasing the brand’s history…

…and introduced the latest product to join the portfolio, the 25 Miracle Milk (RRP £16.45).
