What is the difference between Black-owned and Black-founded?
A Black-founded brand was started by a Black founder but may since have been sold. A Black-owned brand is still owned by its Black founders, their family or other Black owners today. This page lists only Black-owned brands.
Is Shea Moisture Black-owned?
No. Shea Moisture is Black-founded, but its parent company was bought by Unilever in 2017. You can still shop Shea Moisture with us.
Is Cantu Black-owned?
No. Cantu was bought by PDC Brands in 2015 and is not Black-owned. You can still shop Cantu with us.
Is Mielle Black-owned?
Mielle was founded by Monique Rodriguez and has been owned by Procter & Gamble since 2023, so it is Black-founded but no longer Black-owned. You can still shop Mielle with us.
Which Black-owned hair products are best for 4C and natural hair?
For moisture, try a leave-in or curl cream from Camille Rose, TGIN or Taliah Waajid, then seal with an oil. For definition, The Doux mousses and gels are our most popular picks. Browse leave-ins and curl creams to start.
Do you stock Black-owned hair products for kids?
Yes. Luster's Pink Kids and the Taliah Waajid children's range are both in our Black-owned kids' hair care collection.
