Best Hair Products From Black-Founded Brands at Sephora

22 of the Best Haircare Products From Black-Founded Beauty Brands at Sephora

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Breakage. Frizz. Flyaways. Dullness. If you have hair of any texture, chances are you've experienced at least one of those things. You're not alone, and there are not only many other people who can relate, there are also several who then took it upon themselves to come up with a solution for us all.

There are a handful of products at Sephora founded by black men and women to treat these exact issues — and they really do know hair. While some of the creams, lotions, and oils are specifically for extra curly or afro styles, others work for sleeker looks and several for all hair types and textures.

Many of these items focus on natural ingredients — and even vegan and organic ones — so you know your hair is not getting exposed to any potentially harsh chemicals either. Excited yet? Shop these hair products from black-founded beauty brands at Sephora ahead — and you may just find a new favourite on this list.

Qhemet Biologics Olive and Honey Hydrating Balm

The plant-based Qhemet Biologics brand was founded in 2004 and focuses on helping unprocessed hair, especially kinkier, natural textures. For example, this Olive and Honey Hydrating Balm ($16) is a 100-percent natural product that works to moisturise afro-textured hair and help thick, often-dry coils. It uses pure wildflower honey for that hydration along with pure olive oil for added softness.

Briogeo B. Well Organic + Australian 100% Tea Tree Oil

These two pure oils — the Briogeo B. Well Organic + Cold-Pressed 100% Castor Oil ($26) and the B. Well Organic + Australian 100% Tea Tree Oil ($32) — have actually been popular natural remedies for centuries and for good reason. Castor oil (in this case, a fair-trade, cold-pressed version from India) helps add moisture to your scalp and hair, or really wherever it's needed including dry elbows and cuticles. The tea tree oil (aka organic melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil from Australia) can help out if your scalp (or skin) is especially dry, itchy, or irritated.

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Giving Lyfe Texture Refreshing Styling Spray

If you're familiar with black hair care and the history of it, surely you know the name Madam C. J. Walker. She founded a haircare business that made her the first self-made African-American businesswoman in history and was reportedly worth more than $1 million when she passed away in 1919.

Nowadays, a haircare brand has been created in her honour: Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture. The line includes this Giving Lyfe Texture Refreshing Styling Spray ($24), which reactivates curls and adds moisture with coconut, palm, and benne seed oils.

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Inches Reconstructing Moisture Protein Treatment

The top-selling product by this brand on Sephora's site is the Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Inches Reconstructing Moisture Protein Treatment ($26). The rice-protein-rich cream supports brittle hair with azalea to add a smooth shine at the same time. (And it's named "inches" because it can help you get — or keep — long hair that may face breakage otherwise.)

It's also offered as part of the 10s Across The Board Fan Favourite Trial Kit ($28), which adds this protein treatment to a creamy cowash, a buttery conditioner, and a hydrating curl cream.
