Black Hair Care Beauty Supply
Supporting Black-owned businesses is one way to help tip the scales in favor of racial equality—and there are plenty of fantastic options to be found in the beauty products aisle. That wasn't always the case. Not too long ago, women and men with melanin-rich skin struggled to find products to meet their unique needs, and those with textured hair confronted a dearth of options in stores and online.
Now, a bevy of Black entrepreneurs are developing cosmetics brands with colors that pop against darker skin and curl creams that pamper and define 4C spirals like none other. To truly show some love to these gifted hair product formulators, though, you need to do a little homework. Many brands founded by visionary Black women like SheaMoisture and Carol's Daughter have since been scooped up by major global beauty companies. If you want your dough to go straight into the pockets of small business owners striving to move the needle, we've got 30 fabulous hair products from Black-owned brands right here. There's something for every type and texture, whether your locks are looking bone-dry and need a rich conditioner, a great detangler, or you want to give your curls a boost—and many are available on Amazon.
