Daman Investment’s Advisory Clients Agree to Sell their “Ouai” Shares to P&G

Procter & Gamble has signed an agreement to fully acquire Ouai, a company co-founded by celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkins and Dr. Lamees Hamdan in 2015. Ouai is a US based brand that started initially as a hair care line with a minimalist aesthetic and sophisticated scents.
