Simone Biles and K18 have partnered together for an advertising campaign. The brand has agreed to a two-year partnership with the gymnast and seven-time Olympic medalist. Leading up to the Paris Olympics in July, Biles will participate in the U.S. Olympic team trials. In addition, Jasmine Johnson, Biles's professional hair stylist, has been chosen as a brand ambassador for the company. The brand plans to showcase Biles's daily life, both on and off the gymnastics mat, in a social media campaign. The campaign will highlight her inner strength and seek to inspire viewers to "feel what's possible" with K18.
Biles said, “The K18 molecular repair hair oil and leave-in molecular repair hair mask have been game changers for me, so my hair stays healthy amid all the stress I put it through, including with extensions.”
