Angela Simmons Launches New Hair Line: The Bikini Collection

Angela Simmons, the second daughter of legendary rapper Joseph Simmons, continues to diversify her resume, launching a new hair extension line for women.

Simmons has been working with Indique Virgin Hair Extensions for the past few months to create the Bikini collection. Hundreds of fans lined up outside the Indique SOHO store to grab their first sample of the new product and shake hands with the impressive entrepreneur. Simmons is the first celebrity spokesmodel for Indique, expanding her career as a 24-year-old business go-getter.

Fans and eager buyers began lining up outside the Indique SOHO store at 1:30 a.m., camping out in the street just to buy one tube of hair. Simmons signed autographs and supplied fans with her new product, but apologized for not getting a chance to meet each of her supporters. The reality television star expressed her grief via Twitter, “Sorry If I didn’t get a chance to meet everyone who came out to support and stood outside [in] line. I wasn’t in control of the line.”

Despite time constraints Simmons made sure to promote the attributes of the hair line, describing the product as very “versatile.” In an interview with GlobalGrind.com Simmons described the “Bikini” hair in detail. “We’ve made our own texture here,” Simmons told a GlobalGrind reporter. “It’s called Bikini [because] you can get it wet. You can get in the water with it and still look fabulous at the same time.”

Simmons made sure to sport her innovative weave at the promotional hair launch. Her luscious locks were straightened for the event, giving fans and followers a chance to witness the hair’s flexibility.

A 40 oz tube of Bikini hair retails between $210 – $305. A portion of the Bikini proceeds will go toward CancerCare, an organization that helps provide information, education, counseling, financial aid and other types of free professional help for people living with cancer or cancer-related illnesses.

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
