Best Black Owned Textured Hair Brands For Afro/Kinky Hair Textures

Best Black Owned Textured Hair Brands For Afro/Kinky Hair Textures

Next up in our Black History Month series is a post on the some amazing Afro/Kinky haircare brands. Read on for a list of some of the best black-owned textured hair brands. These brands know how to deliver the best products because they were created by people who not only understand the struggles of caring for Black hair, but also know how beautiful it is. Your hair will thank us for it.

 

KinkyCurlyYaki

If you've ever dreamed of hair extension designed specifically for black hair that aren't the standard straight or body-wave texture but instead come in texture specifically made to match the natural textures of black hair, get ready to make those dreams a reality thanks to KinkyCurlyYaki

Before KinkyCurlyYaki, there were next to no brands offering high-quality hair extensions in textures that blended seamlessly with natural hair. Its founder, Vivian Kaye wanted to address those needs to allow Black women to show off their natural hair textures while still being able to experiment with length, colour and style through protective styling like wigs.

Kurly Klips

Kurly Klips is the OG when it comes to clip-in hair extensions in natural Afro textures. Named by Essence as Best in Black Beauty, Kurly Klips' selection of Afro-puffs, ponytails and standard clip-in wefts are a quick, hassle free way to update your style without having to repeatedly straighten and risk damaging your beautiful kinks, coils or curls.

Whether you're in-between wash days and need a quick-fix or want to try something new, we highly recommend checking out this incredible brand. We're also completely in love with their Detangling Caddy. This clever gadget is used to keep your wefts neatly clipped on to allow you to brush, detangle and even style it ready for wear. Perfect.

Before you start

What you need

Get this right
from the start

Most fit problems trace back to how the measurement was taken, not the number itself.

A soft fabric measuring tape — metal tapes give inaccurate readings.
With or without wig cap? If you plan to wear one, measure with it on.
Snug, not tight. The tape should sit firmly but not indent your skin.
A mirror or a friend. A second set of hands improves accuracy.
Circumference

Step 01 · Primary measurement

The anchor

Circumference

Place the tape around your head at the hairline — approximately ¼ inch above your eyebrows and ears. Bring it around the back at the base of your skull. Keep the tape parallel to the floor the entire way around.

Why it mattersThis is the primary anchor. When you're between sizes, circumference is always the tiebreaker.
Common mistakeTipping the tape up at the back. Keep it level all the way around.
Enter your circumference
inches

This number takes precedence

Front to Nape

Step 02 · Secondary measurement

Nape comfort

Front to Nape

Start at your natural hairline at the center of your forehead. Run the tape back over the crown to the nape of your neck where your hairline ends. Let the tape follow the curve of your head.

Why it mattersDetermines nape comfort over a full day. If slightly short, you'll feel it by afternoon.
Common mistakeStarting from the scalp instead of the hairline. Always begin at the hairline.
Enter your front to nape
inches

Affects nape comfort over long wear

Ear to Ear

Step 03 · Secondary measurement

Front stability

Ear to Ear

Begin at the top of one ear where it starts to curve. Bring the tape up and over the crown to the same point on the opposite ear. The tape runs across the top of your head, not around it.

Why it mattersControls whether the front stays in place. If too small, the wig will gradually ride back over the course of the day.
Common mistakeStarting at the earlobe instead of the top curve. This adds length unnecessarily.
Enter your ear to ear
inches

Determines front stability and placement

Your recommended cap

Retake measurements

Understanding your size

Your cap has a range

The adjustable back strap gives you roughly half an inch of flexibility in each direction.
If you're between sizes, sizing up always works — a slightly larger cap adjusted with the strap fits better than a slightly small one.
A full day of wear tells you more than 10 minutes. Nape comfort reveals itself over hours.

On comfort and security

A well-fitting wig should feel comfortable — not tight, not grippy.

"Comfortable is correct.
Tight is not security."
