Black-Owned Hair Product Companies SPOTLIGHT:
Pheme Hair Care System 

Are you looking for Black-owned hair product companies that truly understand our hair, our culture and give you the absolute best ingredients to encourage healthy hair care and promote growth?

If so, you just stumbled upon a jewel! You’re in the right place… AND, you'll get a discount just to encourage you to show love to this Black business...

Because as you’ll see later in this article, some of these companies like Beauty 403 are ignored by the mainstream, yet, giving you the Black hair products that actually work.

And other hair product companies are faking the funk, and only appear to be Black-owned hair businesses when they are not at all. 

And hey...

Here at NHP, we like to shine light on the Black hair care businesses that don’t get the privilege of being pushed 24-7 by big media as the end-all-be-all hair products, even though many of those mainstream companies aren’t even trying to cater to kinky natural Black hair.

And when the big brand, mainstream companies do make products for the same Black hair that they don’t even understand....

...can you really trust it will be good?

Who better to make your best edge control gel for type 4 hair than a Black-owned edge control business? You feel me?

So today, allow me to introduce you to another Black business-woman who is cut from the cloth of Madame C.J. Walker herself. And her name is Frances Armstrong…

Frances Armstrong’s Black-Owned Hair Product Company: BEAUTY 403

All while making a contribution to the boom of Black-owned hair product companies that are pumping money and opportunity into Black communities.

Money that is beginning to circulate and create a stable base for future financial success that was almost unthinkable a few years ago. And setting the example for Black children to see.

Black-owned hair product businesses like Beauty 403 are the next generation of go-to examples for our children. The way we look back on our Black business heroes like Chris Gardner (who Will Smith Played in “The Pursuit of Happyness”), Madam C.J. Walker and Janice Bryant Howroyd.

Black-owned Hair Products List - Beauty 403’s Pheme Hero Products

For now though, let’s take a good look at these Black-owned hair care products that you can grab today. 

Stylers and hair-health boosters: Everything from edge control for Black hair, twisting cream, scalp butter, detangling spray, heat protectant serum, hydrating conditioners and MORE!

Figuring Out Which Hair Products are Black-owned and Which ARE NOT... 

Look… Supporting Black business doesn’t mean you can’t buy from anyone else...ever. That’s not realistic.

Still, though:

It’s irritating that during this time when so many Foundational Black Americans are showing our support by shopping at Black-owned hair product companies…

...we’re also discovering that many hair care brands who are targeting sales to Black people are often mistaken for businesses that are 100% Black-owned. And they are not.

Some, such as Carol’s Daughter, were formerly Black-owned hair product companies but then sold off to major corporations like L'Oreal.

Even the cleverly-named brands can confuse you into thinking you’re buying Black-owned hair products.

For example, the “African Pride” brand belongs to a company that has always been run by non-Black people.

Ans some-dang-times, familiarity can trick us into thinking we’re circulating the Black dollar within the community. For example, Is Cantu black owned?

You might believe so, because Cantu is so popular among Black women in the natural hair community. But, the answer is no. Cantu isn't actually a Black-owned hair company, although it is a fan-favorite brand and a good product.

While we're definitely not hating on these hair product brands, we feel you should know which companies are often confused for Black-owned hair product companies.

Below is a list of hair care brands aimed at selling to Black folks that are owned by non-Black people, whether as a standalone brand or as part of a major parent company.

Grab Black-owned Hair Accessories & Hair Tools from Beauty 403

Besides the hair care line and Black makeup line, Beauty 403 also sells some cool hair accessories and hair tools. You might have seen our article on titanium flats irons and how great they are, but have you ever laid eyes on a chic Rhinestone-coated flat iron with titanium plates? 

You gotta see it, and that bad girl is powerful too!

Beauty 403’s Rhinestone flat iron can heat up to 480 degrees in 30 seconds, it has a 60 minute automatic shut off mechanism and a 360 degree swivel cord.

They tend to sell out quickly, so if it’s out-of-stock now, just check back a little later.
