In Swahili, the word "MIZANI" means balance and refers to the central concept
behind the brand. Each MIZANI formula whether used alone or in combination,
gently works to balance the forces of beauty and chemistry, creating radiantly
healthy hair. The founding principle of the brand is "Beauty and Chemistry in
Balance." The balance refers to the moisture protein equilibrium that endows
hair with the strength and flexibility it needs to stay healthy.
In 1991, Soft Sheen and Redken Laboratories, developed the original MIZANI brand
that debuted with nine products offering a collection of holistic premium
salon-exclusive hair care and treatment products targeted to the African
American salon/stylist and their clientele. In 2001, after existing as part of
the Soft-Sheen Carson group in Chicago where MIZANI initially served as their
professional hair care brand, MIZANI evolved into the L’Oréal Professional
Products Division.
Today, MIZANI, a division of L’Oréal USA, is a complete
line of professional treatments, relaxers, shampoos, conditioners, and styling products designed to meet the expanding needs of today’s global
beauty. Through its advanced, patented technology, MIZANI has discovered new
ways to care not only for the hair, but for the scalp as well. Each MIZANI
formula is customized to suit the individual needs of each hair type. From
naturally curly and highly textured to color-treated, relaxed and everything in
between, MIZANI offers a specialized, salon-exclusive hair care system designed
to restore every hair type to its ultimate state of balance.
