Please let me know if you find out anything about the owners. Most independent companies have at least a start up story and photo.

I'm not sure... is it possible for then to own it and Sundial distribute/manufacture it? I don't know how that works for hair products...

Shea Moisture is a brand under the Sundial LLC. Sundial is owned by Sofi Tucker's decedents (therefore so is Shea Moisture)

I'm only using black products now (aside from a jar of Eco that will never end ), happy to have another option to get on the ground.

Does anyone know a black owned hair and beauty supply store in London, UK? I am having trouble finding one and I really do not want to give my money to anyone else.

 

[Tefnut]

Another company that's black-owned and sells excellent products is Straight Request. They're based in Florida.
I used it on my natural hair but know others who are relaxed who use it with wonderful results.

http://www.straightrequestproducts.com

Also, a black-owned beauty supply story is Powell Beauty Supply in Toledo, OH. The family has owned and operated it for more than 50 years.

I order most of my Straight Request and other products from them.

You can order online or visit the store.
Powell Beauty Supply

Can you add Mielle Organics LLC www.mielleorganics.com

 

[Kells]

HairMary reviewed this line NaturallyVera, it's CurlyGirl friendly.
No cones, sulfates, parabens, mineral oil, or petroleum.
I've been wanting to try a Black-owned CG-friendly line before I go throwing down all kinds of money for DevaCurl.

The line consists of 4 products:
-a conditioning shampoo
- a moisturizing conditioner
-an aloe-vera leave-in
-and a green tea deep conditioner.

All items can be purchased separately but you can get the entire bundle for $65.
I'll definitely be trying this one out.

anybody know any black african soap vendors, besides buttersnbars?

Girl, just go to any black-centric festival like an African, Caribbean, Ghana or the like festival and you will find plenty of people selling shea butter and black soap. It's pratically everywhere.
