From Black women to Black women, we get it – haircare is something crucial. Consider the various hair textures spotted throughout the African American community, along with our unique hair concerns, including excessive dryness and breakage for some (stemming oftentimes from having a tight curl pattern that doesn’t allow moisture to saturate the hair fully from root to tip), you’d come to gather that many of us are ultra careful about the products we put in our hair. And you’d be right. Because a thorough understanding of what best strengthens, hydrates and maintains our hair often makes for products that can better guarantee desired results, it’s no surprise that Black-owned brands become among the best to reach for. In honor of Black Business Month, it’s worth taking a look at a few of the best haircare products from Black-owned brands you either already know and love, or need to know.
On our radar currently? Well, if there is one thing brands helmed from Black founders are going to have a handle on tackling, it’s hydration and curls. From fan-favorites to newly introduced formulas there’s toners that hydrate the scalp curl-longating cremes, masks for deep moisturization and more. Take a look at some of the picks we made below if you’re in the mood to upgrade your collection.
