"Zendaya is undeniably a beauty icon," says Basim Shami, CEO of CHI and Farouk Systems, Inc. "She is always having fun with her looks and uses beauty, along with fashion, to express a positive message about confidence and embracing individuality. CHI is thrilled to be partnered with her and together share the message with women to embrace who you are, because the real you is beautiful."

“As someone in the limelight, it’s important for me to show the real Zendaya to my fans," Zendaya says. "The #REALisBEAUTIFUL campaign allows me to express myself and the styles I wear in my life while encouraging women to have fun and be confident with their look. I’m excited to show off the looks CHI and I created and share this beautiful message."
