The black haircare product business is a multi billion-dollar business that has been dominated primarily by major white owned haircare companies.

For decades, hair straightening and “taming” products have been the cornerstone of black haircare; making companies millions annually.

But now there is a new game in town being played by savvy black entrepreneurs who are leading the “black hair in it’s natural state is beautiful” charge. Black women all over the world are circling back to their “roots” and are proudly wearing their hair natural; unencumbered by relaxers, or texturizers.
