Why do women in the Black community purchase their hair products from non-black suppliers?

I am a person interested in starting my very own beauty supply center. I would like to know if Black women would prefer to purchase thier products from a Black supplier as opposed to someone outside of the community. After speaking with several sisters, I became concerned about people outside our community capitalizing from something that we place so much time and money into. I would like to solict any ideas about how you can be served better in the hair industry.

well its easier for Koreans in my area to open shops since alot of the products and hair are made there or close to it. i would highly suggest you open one in a black neighborhood. I'm tired of asking them questions and they dont know the answer but they hired a black guy to do security and answer questions. im from Detroit, hair capital and i have yet to see a black owned beauty supply. if it was one here i would drive there no matter where i lived. nothing against Asians but they own all the lee beauty supplys lol or nail salons. at least some nail salons have upgraded to tami taylor. its hard to discuss any hairstyles, hair, or relaxers with them. i dont understand why some salons dont have a beauty supply? and also one that is reasonably priced. please open up one if u can in whatever area you are in. im completely sure they would flock over immediately knowing that it is black owned and operated.

Many black women struggle with their afro hair, often choosing to relax and straighten it rather than embrace their curls. While this can look fantastic, the natural look often has a cool funky edge. However in order to make the most of afro hair, it is important to treat it properly. The most common challenge is frizziness – to combat this you need to use a hair moisturizer while the hair is still wet. If you have thick hair then creams usually give the best results, while finer frizzy hair will benefit from a moisturizing lotion. Try to avoid heavy, sticky products like waxes as they can dry hair out and encourage frizz. It is also important to avoid products that contain even microscopic levels of alcohol, sometimes found in hairspray.

Some hairstyles for black women:

Short Hairstyles

Many African American women with short hair put a lot of time and effort into making their hair longer. However, for those who embrace their short hair, the outcome is chic and carefree. Short hairstyles can be worn straight with rows of perfectly lined tiny curls done weekly by a hairdresser or in a wash-and-go Afro. In these cases, the shorter the hair, the more carefree and classic the style. Even better, a short look can highlight your features. Consult with your stylist about a look that will complement the shape of your face.

Braids

Braiding African American hair, especially with the use of extensions, can make short hair longer and thin hair thicker. You can even add braids that reach down to your ankles. You can also have a classic businesslike style by having your hair braided with the ends twisted into a bun at the nape of your neck. However, hair that is braided too tightly can result in thinning hair and even bald spots, so be careful to speak up if your stylist is pulling too hard. Braids are so popular because they remove the work of doing your hair every morning in exchange for having your hair done once every four to six weeks.

Natural Styles

Those who are new to wearing their hair in natural styles usually do a two-strand twist after washing, condition the twists and leave them alone for a few days. When they take the twists apart, a curly afro is revealed. Wearing natural hair frees African American women from excess chemicals that can damage the scalp and body. It also saves you a great deal of money that would otherwise be spent at the hairdresser each month.

Relaxed Hair

While a great many African American women have gone to natural hairstyles, relaxers are still the most popular method used to style hair. The chemistry of relaxers has improved to the point that they can actually help the hair grow longer and stronger while keeping the hair straight and easy to style on the go. Relaxed hair can be extremely short or very long. The downside of using relaxers to style African American hair is that it can cause unforeseen hair loss for women and it must be maintained regularly or it will break off.
