Ms. Ritambhara Kakkar, Brand Manager, Lush Hair who was equally present at the auditions noted that the Lush Pink Belle Project deepens beyond what it appears to be on the surface.
Lush Hair believes that beauty is limitless and encourages every African lady to stay comfortable in her skin; as such, every woman is beautiful and deserves the opportunity to let her shine out irrespective of her height, skin tone, body size, ethnicity etc.
