I met the daughter to the legendary Diana Ross! Tracee Ellis Ross, my curlfriend-in-my-head came to Atlanta for a Optimum Amla Legend Legendary Style Soiree. It was a fun-filled event at the Westside Cultural Arts Center in Atlanta to celebrate the newest innovations from the Optimum Salon Haircare Amla Legend Rejuvenating Ritual, a rejuvenating product collection infused with legendary Amla oil, an Indian oil used for centuries in India as a luxurious natural hair conditioner.
Tracee Ellis Ross joined SoftSheen-Carson Laboratories®, the #1 ethnic haircare brand in the world, and Optimum Salon Haircare Artistic Style Director and stylist to the stars including First Lady Michelle Obama, Johnny Wright at the Legendary Style Soiree to celebrate the newest innovations from the Optimum Salon Haircare Amla Legend Rejuvenating Ritual, a rejuvenating product collection infused with legendary Amla oil, an Indian oil used for centuries in India as a luxurious natural hair conditioner. At this exclusive Legendary Style Soiree, guests enjoyed hairstyle demos by Johnny Wright, style tips from Tracee Ellis Ross, one-on-one hair consultations, product sampling stations, exclusive prize giveaways, along with specialty cocktails and wine, hors d’oeuvres and music.
You guys have no idea how excited I was to meet her! She was everything I could imagine she would be which is fun, fashionable, and FUNNY! I was able to attend the pre-private media meeting with her and she even answer my question in detail about some great tips for natural woman. Even though she is a celeb and daughter of an icon, she does her own hair and gave stellar hair tips and I definitely took notes!

I’m sure she had a stylist helping her out – her hair is so lush! I love it!
No the funny thing is she said she doesn’t have a stylist (she said it in the vid)! She does her own hair unless she had to for set purposes. She manages that all by herself – lush indeed!
I love Tracee Ellis Ross! She’s hilarious, and her hair is gorgeous, and such apart of her. So fun you got to meet her AND take a selfie with her!
That sounds so exciting to meet her. Jealous of your selfie with her…Awesome.
She has the most amazing hair! Sounds like a super fun event.
She is gorgeous and I have a friend who looks just like her with the same kind of hair. Love her!
Love this. Thank you for sharing the photos. Love the hair. So gorgeous.
Too cool that you got to meet and it looks like a really fun evening!
So so cool, what an experience! I love her hair!
Her hair is awesome! I would love to learn how to tame my curls.
Love the curls! I have have stick straight hair with no “umph” at all! I can’t even get a curl to stay in my hair with an entire can of hairspray.
That must have been a fun experience! She has such gorgeous hair so any advice she gives is worth listening to.
Looks like you had a great time! I’m not going to lie, I love her, but somehow didn’t realize she was Diana Ross’s daughter.
What an amazing experience! Lucky you!
