If you are a fan of The Real Housewives of New Jersey AND you are interested in hair products, then this is your lucky day. Teresa Giudice is launching MILANIA Professional Hair Care. Guidice and her business partner Jerel James Sabella hosted a party to introduce the product to distributors, friends, press and a handful of select stylists and salon owners.
"This event was designed to truly kick off the launch of MILANIA in style and showcase the beautiful results one can achieve with our products!," said Teresa. "Jerel and I are so proud of this line. The highest quality ingredients, technology, research and passion went in to this product range!"
To introduce the line, Teresa invited celebrity stylist Anthony Barrow to present models benefiting from the products. "Every product in the Milania Professional Hair Care system includes Vitamins A, B3, C, E, silk protein, argan and avocado oils plus natural keratin," Anthony told Modern in the backstage area as he prepped the models. "These essential ingredients help nourish, repair & protect hair damaged by heat-styling tools." Barrow created styles influenced by looks shown at the most recent fashion week in NYC.
The products introduced are Total Vitamin Leave-In Treatment, Keratin Heat Protector and Argan Oil Infusion Serum. But check out the interview with Teresa to find out how she gets away with naming the product line after just ONE of her daughters!
