Yesterday, recording artists Ryan Leslie and Melanie Fiona stopped by the Carol’s Daughter store at the Lenox Mall in Atlanta. In town to film the Soul Train Awards, the two visited the store to meet with adoring fans, celebrate their new albums, and spend some time with one of their favorite brands.

What could Whitney Port and Jay-Z have in common?

They both love Brooklyn – based Carol’s Daughter products! Whitney Port, star of MTV reality series “The City,” is a new fan of Carol’s Daughter Tui Hair Oil, infused with lavender, rose, marigold and larkspur flowers, and Healthy Hair Butter, infused with seven essential oils to condition the hair and scalp and minimize breakage.

Hairstylist to the stars Franco Gabbi styles Whitney’s hair with Carol’s Daughter products and she absolutely loved it. Whitney thought the scent of the hair oil and butter was sexy and she loved the natural texture it gave her hair.

Carol’s Daughter Tui Hair Oil $8.50-$18.00, Carol’s Daughter Healthy Hair Butter $10.50-16.50 both available at www.carolsdaughter.com  and Carol’s Daughter stores.
