Press Release

Multi-award-winning Gen Z haircare brand being expands texture-inclusive range with six new products, now available at Target and Ulta Beauty

After a buzzy debut in 2024, being, the community-powered haircare brand made for every type and texture, is back with five new launches designed specifically for waves, curls, coils, and frizz. Expect the same inclusive, high-performing formulas (that won’t break the bank), now even more tailored to you.

In addition to the exciting new product launches, we’re also giving one of our OGs a glow-up: our BIG HAIR Shampoo & Conditioner is getting a new name: BIG VOLUME, after 76% of users said it seriously boosted volume. It’s the same ride-or-die formula, just now in a light pink color.

The being range expansion includes the CURL Detangling Milk, made for all curl types (3A–4C), is a lightweight, hydrating formula that smooths knots and preps curls for styling. CURL POWER Mousse (3A–3C) combines Coconut and Grapeseed Oils to boost bounce, shape, and frizz control, while the DREAM CURL Smoothie (3A–4) uses Coconut and Shea Butter in a rich cream that hydrates, defines, and softens coily textures. The GOODBYE FRIZZ Mousse for (2A–2C) hair, infused with Jojoba and Almond Oil to define waves with soft, touchable hold—no crunch, no stiffness. The MAX MOISTURE Mousse (4A–4C) delivers intense hydration and elasticity for coils, powered by Cocoa Butter and Oat Extract.

About BEING

being haircare was created because we found that 4 out of 5 people don't know their hair type, and of those who do, a little over 80% struggle to find products that work for their hair. This increases for those with type 3 curls (84%) and type 4 coils (87%)—hair that is typically overlooked or 'othered' by the haircare industry.

being is the first brand distributed in a mass retailer that allows people with all hair types, textures and needs to buy from one brand, in one aisle, on one shelf, at an accessible price point. We pride ourselves on being part of a more inclusive beauty movement, helping to democratize premium haircare one bottle at a time.

Developed with trichologists and a diverse advisory board of experts—along with being dermatologically tested, Leaping Bunny approved and made using ethically sourced ingredients—being is purpose-driven and inclusive with a social conscience.
