“I am excited to partner with KISS Colors & Care, a brand that truly understands and meets the unique needs of textured hair,” the Grammy-nominated singer said in a statement. “Representation and diversity in beauty are incredibly important to me, especially since Black women are often overlooked in the industry. KISS Colors & Care celebrates self-expression and creativity, and I believe everyone should feel empowered to be their true selves. Through this collaboration, I’m eager to celebrate natural beauty and inspire others to embrace their own with confidence.”

The collaboration highlights KISS Color & Care’s bestselling Edge Fixer Extreme Hold Gel ($8.99) and Edge Fixer Wax Stick ($7.99).

According to a press release sent to Billboard, the partnership furthers the brand’s commitment to “catering to the needs” of textured hair.

Together, we aim to inspire women of color to embrace their individuality and express themselves unapologetically through their unique style.”
