BONUS: Black Owned Hair Brands We Think You'll Love

10/21/21 • 13 min

If you listened to the last episode we learned that Black people own a really small percentage of the Black Hair industry and that there is so much power in buying Black as Black businesses are more likely to hire Black people, have Black supply chains and are more likely to serve the Black Community.

We wanted to spotlight some smaller Black owned businesses that we think you'll love so that you can buy Black owned for when it comes to your hair products.

3. Who Owns The Black Hair Industry?

The Black hair industry is worth an estimated £88 million in the UK, with Black Women spending 6 times more on hair care than their white counterparts, yet Black people only own around 5% of this industry. It is widely thought that the South Asian Community dominates the ownership of the Black hair sector but how did this come about and was this always the case?

In this episode of Coiled Leanne explores the evolution of the Black hair industry and how the UK’s first afro hair care distributor, Dyke and Dryden, set the foundations for the industry that we have today. She explores the importance of buying Black owned when it comes to hair products by speaking to Rudi Page, former Marketing and Sales Manager of Dyke and Dryden, Sandra Brown Pinnock of XSandy’s and Khalia Ismain, co-founder of Jammi UK, as well as Peter Mudahy who is the CEO of Pak’s Cosmetics who expresses that he sees ‘no real value of Black owned businesses.'
