MARIA BORGES | Model & Style Trendsetter
Born in Luanda, Angola, Maria Borges made her runway debut in 2012, walking in 17 shows. In 2015 she made history by becoming the first black model to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show wearing her natural Afro hairstyle. She shared the moment with her followers on Instagram to overwhelming support and admiration. “Having natural hair is the most amazing thing that I choose to work with,” Maria says. “I can do everything I want with my natural hair. I can braid it, I can leave it natural and curly, I can straighten it. I can inspire other women, especially black women, to be themselves and enjoy their beauty.”
Mizani is taking its #FreedomToStyle campaign to the next level with the introduction of new style icons Chanel Iman, Maria Borges, Grace Mahary and Heidy De la Rosa.
These four dynamic and inspiring women express their personalities through their hairstyles, and demonstrate how hair texture can be styled in a variety of ways to suit moods and occasions. Each style icon has a unique story that reflects the #FreedomToStyle campaign, styled by Mizani Global Artistic Director César Ramirez. The looks he creates go beyond reflecting their individual styles by showcasing a range of styling options to suit the various roles they play.
“The world of texture and embracing your texture is ever-growing,” Ramirez says. “We allow everyone to express themselves while maintaining the natural health of their hair.”
Dedicated to providing a precise balance of protein and moisture, the Mizani Haircare and Styling Collections, including new star products HD Shyne and Foam Wrap, use natural ingredients to nourish hair from within. Mizani also help every stylist and client find the perfect product regimen through its Natural Curl Key, which provides an easy at-a-glance diagnostic for identifying your curl type.
