This really made me a bit sad. Then I found some information that made me glad to support black women businesses. Support black women in their magic to own their own business. It takes a lot of work.
Speaking for myself, I will not be supporting a lot of brands that aren't owned by people who look like me. Why do others lust after creating hair products for us when they are not us? No thank you mister capitalism. There are more than enough black women in the haircare business that understand my culture and the textures of a black woman's hair. I will purposely support them in their efforts to gain generational wealth.
I thought the brand Cantu was black owned but it is not. They say it is black-led. Can those black folks control the ingredients in the product? Alex Tosolini can. He is the owner of Cantu. African Pride is not black owned. A European man started it, now an Indian man runs and owns it.

Janelle Stephens is a black woman I will be supporting. She is the black woman owner of the Camille Rose brand. Target has her products in their stores. You and your family of women just got to have this black girl magic.

Cheers to another black woman that did not sell her product and services. Taliah Waajid is the owner of the Taliah Waajiid brand. You and your family of women just got to have this black girl magic.
