Other times, a product is discontinued, leaving you and your curls out in the cold and on the search for a suitable replacement.
This list is going to combine the top 50 plus black-owned haircare brands for curly hair into one place so you can experiment, research and always have something new to try out.
Some of the brands on this list are also my favourites and have been mentioned a few times on the website.
The list continues to expand as more black-owned businesses are opened every day so be sure to let me know in the comment section if I missed anyone.
I will be updating the list as time goes on so while the heading says top 54, you may find way much more than that below.
The list is also constantly being updated so something that was on it previously may be removed because the brand changed ownership and is no longer black-owned.
You may see strikethroughs on some names. That usually means the page locations have changed. I will update as I catch them.
If any brand is no longer black-owned, I will mention this specifically next to the name.

If I’ve missed out any brand or any of the brands are no longer black-owned, let me know in the comments section. I will be updating the list as more brands become available.
In the meantime, check out even more black-owned businesses at:-
Thank you for sharing. Carol’s Daughter is now owned by L’Oreal who we all know is not Black Owned. I use a few of these brands but haven’t much purchased any Shea Moisture because of that campaign that put out last year.
Thanks for the comment. List has been updated :).
Needed this list in my life as a m trying to support us more! Thank you
Why are some of the brands crossed out. Is it black owned or not?
That usually means the links have been changed. I update them as I catch them. However, they’re still black-owned. If any brand is no longer black-owned, I will mention this specifically next to the name.
Thank you so much for this list of Black owned hair products. I will definitely use it when purchasing my hair products! Very very helpful!
You’re welcome Jerissa 🙂
This was good to read!
Thank you for this updated list. I was using As I Am, but recently found out they was no longer black owned when I saw the models getting lighter with different hair texture.
You’re welcome. Didn’t know As I Am is no longer black-owned. Will look that up.
I really, really appreciate the list of black-owned hair products provider. Will definitely change some things. Helpful information. ☺
You’re welcome. There’s an even bigger list on our other site here – https://www.healthynaturalhairproducts.com/black-owned-business-directory. Happy hair growing! 🙂
MoKnowsHair just came out with hair products and they black owned I believe. Also saw some good reviews
Also Pattern Beauty is black owned

Unfortunately, The Mane Choice was acquired recently to a non-black company. I’m saddened by this since I loved the products. From a business standpoint, I understand why they do what they do, but in regard to standards of quality of actual care of black hair, I worry. Other groups have a not so good habit of not caring about the results of cutting costs and putting the financial bottom line over the customer’s results..so I don’t know.
A lot of the times, once the company is sold, the acquirer messes with the formula and it turns to generic garbage. Hopefully, won’t be the case here. I’ve updated the list. Thanks for letting me know.
I love Thalia Wajid’s curly curl cream for my 4c hair, the curl sealer is more for like type 3 hair. Appreciate the list thanks
Welcome 🙂
Thank you for this list. Trying to support more black owned hair care companies. I’m based in the UK, and I’m finding a lot of the products is not what I’ll personally say is within the affordable price mark. I’m used to paying around £3.50-£6 for a shampoo, but the starting price of some these have me searching high and low everywhere for deals. I’ll keep working through your list. Thanks again.
I guess because of the nature of the ingredients used combined with being a small business explains the high price mark. You should still be able to find shampoos in your price range though and a lot of them do have sales frequently. You can also check this list here for even more black-owned businesses – https://www.healthynaturalhairproducts.com/black-owned-business-directory.
Thank you so so much.
I found the sunny isle shampoo and conditioner at about £8-£9 each…so that’s still affordable. Just need to find some hair masque and good leave-ins. Should be fun working my way through until I find something that works for my hair.
Enjoy! 🙂
