The 25th annual Essence Festival drew bosses of all kinds, but the Maui Moisture cocktail party at the Ace Hotel in New Orleans brought out the best and brightest in the beauty world.
Beauty gurus at the top of their games attended the cocktail party to celebrate a brand they know and love. Boasting a diverse range of products for every type of curl out there, Maui Moisture received nothing but high praises.
Monica Stevens, hair specialist known for her platform Mo Knows Hair, showcased the versatility of the products as she created a gorgeous updo using the brand’s coconut oil mist and curl smoothie.
ESSENCE had a chance to chat with Rene Daniella of @ownbyfemme, Constance Cash of @teamnatural, and Monica Stevens of @moknowshair about all things hair and their favorite products from the line.

"Using shine spray while you’re styling your hair is not only going to make your hair shiny, it’s going to make it soft and tame those flyaways that you don’t want, without having to put a lot of weight on your hair." - Monica Stevens
"I love this mask because it focuses on scalp health. A lot of times we neglect our scalp because we just think about our hair but you need a healthy scalp to have healthy hair, so that’s a really great mask." -Rene Daniella
"I would definitely recommend their curl quench for 4C textures. I also love the shea butter line. It’s lightweight so it’s what I recommend for women having issues with moisture." -Constance Cash
"I love the smoothie because it’s really thick and helps to define. I love a good wash and go style…and the smoothie is just a great base." - Rene Daniella
