BEAUTY BRANDS END ABUSE PROGRAM WITH KENRA

                
You see a smiling face! I see the face of a survivor of domestic violence. In my past, I was in an abusive relationship, which left me scarred in more ways than one. October is domestic violence awareness month. The goal of my blog was to inspire women about self care. So it made perfect sense to partner with Beauty Brands for their End Abuse program.  

The  Beauty Brands End Abuse program is back with a brand new partner, Kenra Professional, to raise awareness and support victims of domestic violence, now through November 1st, 2020. This program will give back to 13 domestic violence shelters in the local markets.

 Now more than ever, it's important to bring awareness to domestic abuse, as studies show that cases are increasing rapidly due to the restrictions related to COVID. Let's help end abuse, together. Beauty Brands will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of every Kenra Professional Perfect Medium Spray 13 hairspray to 13 domestic violence shelters in the local markets it serves. During the End Abuse campaign, the popular Kenra hairspray will be sold for the special price of $10.98 (regular retail is $17.99). Beauty Brands customers also will have the opportunity to add a donation to their total purchase to directly support local shelters.                                                                

                      

The End Abuse program was started by the company’s original founder and owner, Bob Bernstein, and the company’s CEO, David Bernstein in 2001, to help end domestic violence through funding and awareness. Since its inception, the Beauty Brands End Abuse program has raised more than one million dollars and benefited more than 50 domestic violence shelters nationwide. Most salon professionals know they’ll cut and color hair and offer advice on beauty and styling products. But some find their job also includes lending a listening ear to victims of domestic violence. Studies show that three out of four abused women tell someone about the abuse, and salons and spas may serve as “safe” places because abusers usually do not accompany victims to their appointments.

                     I got to try out a few products from Kenra, as a part of this campaign. So I decided to style my signature messy bun using a few of the products. If you wanted to learn, how I did that, click on the video linked below:
