6 Black Women Owned Hair Care Brands that are Moisturizing your textures with Hair Masks/Pre-poos!
Updated: Jun 5
When you suffer from dry hair and breakage, the best thing to do is to hydrate and moisturize! Whether you have 4c tight coils or 3b to 4a curls, you want haircare products that benefit your hair type and specific needs. A good, natural, sustainable, and affordable hair mask or pre-poo product added to your wash routine will not only bring up the dirt and flakes from wearing your hair in protective styles or twists but also give your hair a healthy detox. I know how it feels to deal with frizzy and dehydrated 4c curls, and luckily these products have helped make my wash days manageable between protective styles.
These six Black Woman-owned hair care brands will give your hair much-needed love and care-all at an affordable price! (I have personally used these products, and though they have worked for me, use judgment when using them for your hair type/texture!)

Maeva Heim has created a hair care brand in BREAD Beauty that makes the girlies squeal in wash day happiness! Your wash day routine has just got a little better with Bread’s Detox + Wash Mud Mask.

The natural hair journey can be a doozy, but it can get easier with the right products for your hair! Depending on your personal hair regime, you may not have thought to keep adding on products.

Her brand is empowered by the needs of Black Women who want products that are affordable and rich in ingredients but have no sulfates and parabens.

Pre-shampooing is now easier regarding thick coils with Mielle Organics Pre-Shampoo Treatment, which contains organic-rich oils like Mongongo Oil, Almond Oil, and Sacha Inchi Oil.

6. Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength Ultra Shield Pre-Poo with Castor Oil, created by Lisa Price
Lisa Price, with her hair care brand that has reached millions of naturalists over the years, has ultimately changed how we see and care for our natural hair. One of my personal favorites- the Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength Ultra Shield Pre-Poo can make your wash days less stressful because those knots will be combed, and those coils will regain their shine even after having in a protective style like passion twists or knotless braids. Filled with beneficial oils to the scalp like Castor Oil, Black Cumin Seed Oil, and Ginger, your scalp will breathe a sigh of relief, and it will help minimize breakage, protect and strengthen your strands (2a-4c) and make the detangling process smoother. After you finish your newly improved hair care routine, hit your girls up for brunch because your hair will turn heads!
