Haircare is as personal as any beauty routine. Finding the right products is essential to your journey.
Finding what works for you can be overwhelming, but you don't have to go in blind. Here are eight Black-owned hair products for you to consider adding to your collection.
Mielle was started by Monique Rodriguez in 2014. A family tragedy led the former nurse to pursue a career in hair care. Now a multimillion-dollar business, Rodriguez sold it to P&G in 2023.
Maya Smith, a stylist of over 27 years, and her husband Brian Smith are the co-founders of The Doux. As CEO, Maya has spoken about their products being water-based, helping to define curls and create shine.
Actor-singer-business woman Tracee Ellis Ross founded Pattern Beauty in 2019, offering options that would work on her hair and other curl patterns. Conditioners, gels and masks are among the products sold by the line.
