DALLAS, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Soft & Beautiful(TM) hair care products, a part of the Pro-Line International family of brands, has recruited actress and fitness expert A.J. Johnson and life coach and best selling author Valorie Burton as spokespersons for their Soft & Beautiful with Curves Healthy Resolutions campaign with national fitness chain Curves. The two experts will join forces with Pro-Line Beauty and Hair Care Consultant Roslyn Baker to form the Soft & Beautiful BEAUTY EXPERTS. The team will offer advice on wellness "from hair to toe" and from the inside out, in by-line articles, on the Soft & Beautiful(TM) website, in interviews across the country and finally at a world-record-setting fitness and beauty event for women in the Chicago, Illinois area on January 20, 2007.

The BEAUTY EXPERTS are part of an awareness campaign that highlights the Soft & Beautiful with Curves Healthy Resolutions promotion. When shoppers purchase specially marked packages of Soft & Beautiful(TM) and Soft & Beautiful Botanicals(TM) relaxer kits, they will receive a free two-week membership to any participating Curves fitness center and a Soft and Beautiful branded fitness headband.

"Soft & Beautiful with Curves Healthy Resolution is about encouraging your girlfriends, sisters, mothers and daughters to make a new commitment to total wellness and beauty, but that takes courage," said Tiffanie Jones, Pro-Line International. "Soft & Beautiful realizes that soft, silky, healthier hair and a healthier lifestyle begin with a mindset change, and that can be a challenge. We hope to connect the dots between healthy hair and healthy bodies with a healthy outlook on total wellness."

Often, African-American women express concern about how to maintain or manage their hair during and after a workout. Soft & Beautiful's BEAUTY EXPERTS have developed tips to address this concern as well as other advice on how to manage a healthy body and a healthy head of hair throughout the year.

A.J. also produces a wellness segment on WE channel's "Savvy," and hosts VH-1's reality fitness competition, "From Flab to Fab." She does weekly radio spots for several large metropolitan areas and seminars and classes for corporations, resorts and magazines, including Mauna Lani Resort, Essence and many other notables. Her on-camera advice includes Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition.

Her weekly e-newsletter inspires thousands of subscribers.

Women can meet the BEAUTY EXPERTS at a special event designed to help jumpstart a new beauty regimen. Soft & Beautiful and Curves plan to sponsor a world-record attempt event -- the longest circuit workout in the world, in the Chicago area on January 20, 2007 -- creating a "chain of sisterhood."
