#hairbeautybuzz Season 2 Coming This Summer
ATLANTA — #hairbeautybuzz, the natural hair and lifestyle show, is returning this summer featured on a new medium and network. The series premiered on Dallas radio and completed a successful season highlighting many of the great voices, products, and tools used by naturalistas to perfect their coifs.
The new season will be broadcast to a global audience on the Universe Atlanta channel of the Universe Network, a streaming service headquartered in Miami. The network boasts more than 10M views in 2014 and 2105. This year is expected to show significant growth with the addition of a dedicated channel on Roku, which currently is in 10M households nationwide. Viewers don’t need a subscription service to get UNTV content. All they have to do is log on to: www.universenetwork.tv and search for their city’s channel or specific content.
While Season 2 remains under development, the season premiere will feature the live coverage of the New Orleans Natural Hair Expo plus new segments that are sure to add value and quality to those living their best natural hair lifestyles.
The New Orleans Natural Hair Expo that will be featured in the season opener, is presented by EDEN BodyWorks, is back for its third year. At this year’s expo attendees will be able to enjoy an exclusive CurlMix party sponsored by the up and coming “DIY Subscription Box for Curly Hair!” The expo will also feature a pop-up dry styling salon sponsored by Design Essentials. Attendees will be able to have their hair dry styled and receive a consultation regarding their natural hair, the founder Monique Herbert said.
“I wanted to reach a broader audience with our show’s content,” says show creator and host, Ailene Torres, Chief Strategist at Upmarket Media Group. “We have found that home in Atlanta and are excited to expose more people to the personalities and products that call the Peach City home.”
#hairbeautybuzz was invited to return to the New Orleans Natural Hair Expo, after a successful broadcast during the 2015 event. This year, the show is bringing a full production crew to connect those who cannot attend visually to some of what they are missing.
“We are excited to have #hairbeautybuzz return as the official broadcast media partner! The on-air presence presented by #hairbeautybuzz provided others across the United States the opportunity to be a part of the #NONHE 2015! We are extremely excited to have them return, and we hope others will join us via the broadcast to see exactly what takes place during the #NONHE,” Herbert said.
Season 2 is scheduled to air live on July 2 from the Contemporary Arts Center of New Orleans and is presented by EDEN Bodyworks with additional support from CURLS, Uncle Funky’s Daughter, Tropic Isle Living and many more.
