SEARCHThe team is a group of professional hairstylists with a specialty in textured hair.
Mizani has assembled a team of hairstylists who specialize in a diverse range of hair types and textures; inspiring #TextureLove in the campaign messaging.
From celebrity stylists, color experts, editorial darlings to salon owners and beyond, the brand's Texture Squad will provide styling and care to women with all hair types. They'll also apply their skills at editorial shoots, runway shows, social media campaigns and freelance projects.
As diversity in the fashion industry continues to grow (for Spring 2018, 36.9% of runway models and 34% of national print models in ad campaigns were women of color), natural and textured hair is no longer considered a trend but instead has proven to be a mainstay in the fashion world.
Mizani brings salon-quality products to professional stylists and consumers with an emphasis on providing ideal formulations for textured hair. Each Texture Squad Pro ambassador has been handpicked for their versatile styling skills and expert knowledge in textured hair.
