The Business Of Black Hair

African-American men and women spend billions of dollars on their hair, but U.S. beauty care companies are missing out.
Mintel values the black hair care industry at more than $2.5 billion, but that statistic doesn't include products such as hair accessories, wigs or electric styling products. So, the industry is actually worth much more.
Most hair care products purchased by African-Americans are imported from countries such as India and China, despite the U.S. having one of the most lucrative hair care markets in the world.» Subscribe to CNBC: cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBC

    There are several documentaries on the hair industry that explain why ownership is dominated by Asians. Most of the real hair sold is Asian hair and so Asian companies market their products in Asian catalogs. Basically, if you can't read Chinese or Japanese then you MUST PARTNER with an Asian person to start the business. But why would they partner with you when they can do it without you and all really have to do is hire a couple black people work work for them and the other MILLION black people will buy their products. That's why blacks don't own many, if any, beauty supply stores that sell hair.

    back in my days I didn't spend no more than about $20 every 3 to 4 months I had one or two wigs which didn't cause a lot of money back in those days I stopped wearing wigs about 30 years a go so right now I spend no more then maybe about $40 every six months and it may be less than that because I use oils I make my own condition has so whatever I use in my hair basically I could ingest so I don't spend that much maybe less than $100 a year on hair products and I have for a be here and I find my hair after I've learned how to manage it it's easy for me so all you ladies out there spending $30,000 a year I may be going to a professional or having weaves done sit down and check yourself I know there's some women in their 30s 40s 50s that do not know how to wash condition just do the basic things to their hair wash condition and blow it out on a cool setting they don't know how to do it so they have to have somebody to do it or either they just don't want to learn how to do it so get a reality check you make it everybody Rich accept yourself

    It’s exhausting after all these years black people still haven’t monopolised an industry. I mean how are we not the majority shareholders of BlackHair care. We’re forever teaching the world through KZread and blogs how to actually look after the toughest hair type as they take our natural hair concoctions and resell our ideas back to us at ridiculous prices. We have an ever growing demand to maintain our natural Afro hair in a world than demonises the appearance of it and we are still paying a high price for it and in no way are we ever going to profit from it. Society still ushers black woman to conform to straighter styles with wig and weaves becoming the norm. Products to take care of what’s underneath are increasing in price every year. Every black woman regardless of length, curl type, or profession should refuse to purchase anything that isn’t 100% natural, beneficial or produced from a legitimate black owned business. How are we yet again leaving the fate our tresses in another countries hands, they don’t share our hair type or social concerns yet are growing richer from it!

    Ive learnt to spend my money where black women are featured. You often find huge companies like She's Moisture don't cater to their market's price point, in terms of general cost of living. So why should I spend more when the company doenst take into account certain societal environmental factors. For example that many , black African women have now become bread winners for entire families. Those are personal realities and play a part in purchasing decisions. I have relaxed hair and usethr J Strickland company's products like Blue Magic etc...because their price point is relevant to my reality. Also I live in South Africa and many of uslook up to African American women for hair inspo, they seem to have the hair game on lock,in terms of trends etc. Nex Sheen Arganics is also another black owned company, they launched in Africa a few years ago, I travel to the US often and find they theit price point is very similar. My point is , buy from people who care about YOUR economic reality as a black woman.while I would love to support my fave celebs like Taraji P and Kenya Moore 's lines of hair products, I feel they are so out of touch with reality. So I'll stick to my Nex Sheen, Blue Magic and Africa's Pride.....

Product junkies exists because scientist refuse to study our hair. We're left to our own devices to figure out how to care for it. Caucasians or hair types that are straight do not have this problem, they are well studied and products are created around their findings. We are still learning our hair.

Then I put my hair in twist with African Shea butter (from Amazon) I leave it in twist for a week... once a month I also dust my end any spit ends, knots I can’t detangle, or fairy knots get cut. Trying to see if I can make it to tailbone. I all honesty it took almost a year to find what worked for me. So experiment and learn what your hair likes.

To put it simply, does kinky hair garner the same social liability on a black head as a non-black/white person's head?

    Some of the comments can be perceived as judgmental but I think most women were letting it be known that all black ladies are spending millions on hair.... I don’t believe black women are exclusively spending billions on beauty... other ethnicities spend a lot on dieting,fashion, makeup, weave, plastic surgery etc too. I know some blacks are trying to manipulate their hair but not just for self hate some do want to appear “presentable” how ever they define it with ease and that usually costs money. I am happy that more black women are excited about their appearance and presentation but I don’t want anyone believing they must spend a mortgage note to appear beautiful and this where I agree with your sentiments

Products are not everything. Getting a proper hair cut and style is invaluable. Because, i have found that a great cut makes the product look great. I love being black. I just want a good cut.

    where are these figures for natural hair coming from? I spend maybe 150-200 dollars a year all up on my products-not including shampoo and conditioner which I share with my family. I'm talking leave in and twisting cream. A tangle teezer is 20 bucks and i don't get a new one yearly.. The whole point, in my mind of going natural is to reduce cost and dependency on others to work with and protect what you have naturally. At least in my view. I trim my own ends even- but understand those who don't feel confident with diy. eta I did add an oil blend (Melanin brand) to this routine and a bottle of essential lavender for my scalp which lasts for years because I only use a drop to a bottle of spray water as I now live in a dryer/wintery state. Still not int he thousands though.

So besides it being overwhelming to take care of as someone without the experience to do hair, I also don't have the time to do decent looking styles. When I was wearing my hair natural it didn't need a overly complicated regime but going really simplistic and only using water and oils did not do my hair justice.

    JWI while i agree with your comment in theory.. in reality your comment fails to include nor factor in the many people with alopecia and other health related issues that contribute to why a person is incapable of growing their own hair (at a specific time within their life). I am not a hair stylist, but i am a healthcare professional. I have many patients of every race that have experienced hair loss for various health related reasons (anemia. Vit d deficiency, auto immune disorders, post surgery meds can damage hair, traumatic Stress i have seen my patients lose clumps of hair over stress, post bariatric surgery, burn victims, etc etc)..they wear pieces, wigs, weaves etc to cope with the physical changes their bodies are going through..there is so much more to it than "just grow your own hair"

    They crazy. I ain’t never spent that amount of money on my hair. But I also don’t go to hair salons and I don’t wear weaves and wigs. I moisture mainly with aloe juice and glycerin. Seven bucks a gallon at Walmart and twenty bucks a gallon on amazon respectively. There is no need for all that.

    The problem with most of the haircare products in stores is the mass amounts of chemicals contained in them. Using products like aloe vera gel, flaxseed gel, or coconut oil is safer and cheaper or at least we shouldn't buy products that use harsh chemicals like parabans. That being said at least we don't put sodium hydroxide on our hair anymore (well some still do).

    Olivia is me. If my hair has been in a protective style, I generally start off with a clarifyer, and then continue on with my wash routine. But my wash routine is usually shampoo, deep condition, regular conditioner, leave in conditioner, and olive oil if I plan on keep it in it's natural state, pressing grease if I'm gonna flat iron it.
