Aimed at the South African ethnic market, Revlon Realistic is a comprehensive range of ethnic hair care products, including relaxers, shampoos, conditioners, after care, treatments and styling products.

From July up until the end of August of this year, South African female citizens over the age of 18 from all over the country have sent in their pictures via MMS, a mobi-site, email and hard copy to stand a chance to be selected as a finalist in this competition. Finalists were selected and flown to Johannesburg to compete in the final gala event which took place at The Venue in Melrose Arch on 30 September 2009.
