Discover Black-Owned Hair-Care Brands That Deliver
Tracee Ellis Ross has always been known for her voluminous curls, so it made perfect sense when she launched her hair-care line, Pattern Beauty, in 2019. “I was dreaming about doing this all through high school,” Ross previously told Allure. The first Pattern Beauty drop included a shampoo, three different conditioners (medium, heavy, and intense), two hair oil serums, a brush, a clip, and a microfiber towel. Ross has since expanded the line to include items like an Afro pick, a scalp serum, and a curl-conscious blow-dryer, as well as a hand-held steamer.
Star product: The Pattern Beauty Scalp Serum is like a cool drink of water for your scalp. The nozzle tip makes it easy to apply the thin gel, especially if you’re wearing a protective style. The peppermint and rosemary oil help to soothe and offer a light botanical scent.
Dizziak
With five different textures on her head, founder and former journalist, Loretta De Feo, started Dizziak in 2018 because she couldn’t find any products that worked for her. The London-based brand boasts formulas that hydrate the hair, promoting healthy strands that look and feel good. The tightly-edited product range has gained a loyal following, including British it-girl Dua Lipa, who discovered the range after dying her hair red. The singer loved it so much, she invested in the brand.
Star product: The Dizziak Deep Conditioner is packed with nourishing ingredients including aloe vera, argan oil, babassu oil, castor oil, and quinoa protein. A healthy squeeze of the sleek tube produces a rich cream that, when applied to wet hair, deeply moisturizes for soft strands.
