TRESemmé Work It: Take Back the Glam
Glammed if you do, damned if you don’t: It seems that women can’t win the beauty conversation, always coming up against backlash however way they choose to groom (and not that it’s anyone else’s business but ours how we do so, btw.). Well, the buck stops here: Last August 29, the renowned hair care and styling brand TRESemmé unveiled Work It, a campaign with a game-changing point of view. They aim to remove the stigma surrounding putting effort into your look, that women should absolutely feel empowered by having both brains and beauty, and that there’s no shame in actually owning all the work and effort it takes to get you confidently out the door. Because honestly, if rocking messy beach waves helps you feel like a million bucks, or a sleek polished updo gives you a clear-eyed confidence in the office, no one should stop you. Facilitated by Cara Santana, actress, blogger and co-founder of The Glam App, an on-demand beauty app that makes luxurious hair, makeup and nail appointments fully accessible via at-home service, the event was paneled by a group of today’s most confident, go-getting and unapologetically glam women, all from different business sectors. Partnering with TRESemmé were TRESemmé Global Stylist (and celeb favorite!) Justine Marjan, famous designers and NYFW vets Rebecca Minkoff and Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs of Cushnie et Ochs, and top clinical psychologist and media personality Dr. Judy Ho. Each of these hard-hitting female professionals shared a respective, super-confident #HairStatement, kicking the unrealistic, kind of anti-feminist notion of “waking up perfect” to the curb. As fans of putting your best face (and hair, and skin) forward, we enthusiastically co-sign. That said, as part of the TRESemmé Work It campaign, the brand is partnering with The Glam App for complimentary—yes, free—services!
