Finding the best products for black hair takes a little bit of effort. Here are some brands to keep your eye on from your local beauty retailer!
Finding the best products for black hair can be challenging, to say the least. Most big box stores carry only a handful of natural hair products. Thankfully, popular retailers like Sally’s, Ulta, and Sephora have dedicated sections for ethnic hair. Here are some of our favorite products!
Sally’s was founded and opened in 1964 by C. Ray Farber. Farber named the now notorious beauty store after his daughter, Sally. Now over 50 years later, the beauty retailer has proudly signed four female-owned beauty brands through their Cultivate Cohort Program. The Cohort program was implemented to help female-owned beauty brands gain a leg up in the industry. Three of the recently signed brands are black and female-owned. This is excellent news for the black hair care industry and the beauty industry as a whole!
UniQurl officially started in 2018. However, Alexis Stanley started her hair journey far before that — all the way back to 2005 on online forums and discussion boards. What originally started as a kitchen DIY project has blossomed into a multi-million dollar brand, helping thousands of women achieve their hair care goals across the globe.
One of UniQurl's high-rated products is their Aloe line. You can find 2-in-1 Deep Conditioners, Moisturizing Hair Oils, and even a 4-in-1 Styler for your busiest days.
Peculiar Roots is a Black female, and the family-owned brand started in March 2020. Tara and Carl Darnley created their hair care line with natural hair and locks in mind. These products can be used on any hair type, but they shine with natural hair and locks.
One of the brand's standout products is their Cherry Blossom Refresher Spray. Their 8oz spray bottle was designed to be used daily, keeping your natural locks moisturized and hydrated without additional product build-up. Their vegan-friendly Loc Pomade is another fan favorite you have to try.
Whether you're familiar with them as Ulta Salon, Ulta Beauty, or even Ulta3, this beauty retailer has been around since the early 90s. What separates Ulta from its competitors is its wide range of products. If you're looking for luxury cosmetics or drugstore discounts, you can find them at Ulta.
Ulta has a section of its website dedicated to black-owned beauty brands. You can find high-profile brands like BLK/OPL and Mented Cosmetics here. However, Briogeo has to be one of the top black, female-owned companies on this list.
Although a bit on the pricey side, the Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask is well worth every penny. Packed with beneficial oils, extracts, and vitamins, this deep conditioning hair mask is a non-negotiable for dry and damaged hair.
Sephora has had its fair share of controversies and may not be the first retailer that comes to mind for black hair care products. However, they carry over 340 curated brands and more than 45,000 products. You can find a wide range of black-owned brands and hair care products for all styles.
The hair care products by Qhemet Biologics were designed for kinky, coily, and natural hair. Inspired by African, Mediterranean, and Ayurvedic roots, the company's products are made using premium ingredients and nutrients.
Try their Egyptian Wheatgrass Cleansing Tea for a gentle cleansing solution made with all hair types in mind! You can also find a wide array of detanglers, creams, and other products for affordable prices.
It seems some of the best products for black hair are hiding in plain sight! Although we listed some of the greatest brands available, there are plenty more options online and in-person. With the right eye, you can find the perfect product at your local beauty retailer!
