Haus of Swag partners with the Dark And Lovely brand for "12 Days of Holiday Hair Giveaway"

NYC, Dec. 2015: Haus of Swag was excited to partner with the Dark And Lovely brand to create (2) custom dolls for (2) lucky winners in their #12daysofholidayhairgiveaway. 
The Dark and Lovely brand has had a long-standing commitment in the hair care industry to produce stellar products dedicated to the black community at-large. We were not only humbled at the request, but happy to participate in such an opportunity that reiterates one of the core reasons why we not only started Haus of Swag but extended the product line-up with the DollHaus Project as well - to change the black beauty narrative with how women of color with textured hair are seen in a fashionable context.
The two lucky winners were announced via the Dark And Lovely Instagram feed and we can only hope that their holiday season was made that much brighter.
