With that, there have a been an abundance of hair and domestic lines created to help women maintain their hair in its natural state. There are all type of hair milks, conditioners and gels out there. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the African-American owned companies that continue to help the hair and cosmetic industry thrive. Here is a list of 11 companies you check out the next time you think about buying hair products:

1. Mielle Organics

Mile Organics first launched in 2014 with only an Advanced Hair Formula, which was a pill that was meant to help achieve healthy hair, skin and nails. Customers then began to demand more and the rest is history. The brand has been a hit on social media which has helped them to become a global enterprise. Oh, and their formula is all natural. Seriously, their products only include natural ingredients. How could you say no?

2. Shea Moisture

Shea Moisture is a brand that we've all grown to know and love. They've been around for quite some time creating products for men, women and babies. This brand is known for their products to create a variety, catering to the needs of you hair. Their hair care can be found in most mainstream stores like Walmart. You've more than likely ran across them already, but why not send a reminder of how awesome this brand is?

3. Curls

Curls got its start in 2002, but has grown into a household name for most naturals. Curls is all about creating products to give the hair body with springy, spiral, defined and healthy curls. The brand's prices remain reasonable and can also be found in mainstream stores. This is another brand that focuses on maintaining healthy hair with organic ingredients.

4. Design Essentials

A high end, well known brand, Design Essentials can be found in most beauty salons. Founded in 1990, it is a family owned business that has continued to make waves. Their goals is to provide products that create manageability, volume and movement. Design Essentials is for you if you're looking to revitalize and restore your hair to its natural beauty.

5. Jane Carter

Another mainstream brand, Jane Carter got its start over a decade go and looks to promote diversity in the curly hair market. The hair care line is plant-derived and also has a variety of products for all hair types. Knowing how harsh chemicals can be on the hair, this company strives to create a chemical free brand that gets the job done.

6. Mixed Chicks

Mixed Chicks is a brand created to be gentle and cleansing for the hair. With both of its founders coming from environments that were harsh on their hair, they wanted to create something that would be the perfect mixture. They began to mix and match ingredients until they got the perfect blend. Mixed Chicks isn't just for chicks though, they even have a line for men. This 'curly revolution' deserves a shot.

7. Camille Rose Naturals

Camille Rose Naturals is a brand that caters to everyone. A brand that is dedicated to enhancing the overall wellness of consumers. The products came to fruition through home-made treatments and can be found in stores like Target and Whole Foods. Holistic health is the goal and has been carried out since its founding. Your hair will thank you for these products.

8. Miss Jesse's

Miss Jesse's took on the curly hair market in 2004 and haven't looked back. During that time there was hardly anything designated for curly hair care on the market. Realizing the potential and demand, Miss Jesse's strived to make something that would be effective and fresh. They are well known for their rich creams and conditioners that treat hair to an abundance of moisture. Every natural girl needs some of their products in their stash.

9. Kinky-Curly

Kinky-Curly is a brand that caters to all different hair types. This brand focuses on helping women transition into the natural hair world and focus on creating healthy, moisturized hair. Their products help to protect hair from outside elements and give the hair hold and shine. They also provide a reasonable price.

10. CurlBox

The CurlBox is something that all naturals should give a shot. It is a monthly box that you subscribe to and receive a variety of products to try. Each month you get 4 or more hair product samples for only $20. Sounds like a steal, right? Trying out products for half the price, cant beat that.

11. EDEN Bodyworks

Crafted by an 11 year old who couldn't find products for her hair, EDEN Bodyworks is a must try. The products are infused with natural products to restore hair and return it to its natural state. EDEN products leave your hair feeling softer and healthier. You want regret introducing your hair to EDEN.

I hope that you'll think about these products the next time you come across them. They are meant for all types of hair to ensure that you maintain the most healthy hair ever.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
