If your strands have been feeling a little lackluster or your once-a-go refreshing washday routine no longer serves its purpose, babe, you might be having some scalp issues. You see, just like your face, your scalp needs regular TLC to stay in optimum condition – plus, it is the difference between having strong, healthy strands and frizz-filled, brittle hair.
So, to help you prioritize your scalp and give your hair a good ‘ol boost, here are some Black-owned scalp care brands that are known to revive even the most hopeless, dandruff-ridden hair.
Adwoa Beauty

Founded by the brilliant Julian Addo, this haircare line was created to celebrate African Beauty with clean and naturally sourced ingredients.
As a modern, non-toxic, and Genderful hair brand, Adwoa caters to textured hair. It also incorporates ingredients that primarily focus on promoting hair length and a healthy scalp – after all, your scalp is just an extension of your face and should be treated as such.
Its best-selling product? The Adwoa Baomint Collection ($56). The formula is tailored to promote a healthy scalp and define your natural curls. And while we’re fans of the entire lineup, we love the Baomint protect + shine blend because it contains an eclectic mix of 15 + natural oils that work double time to soothe, promote growth, and add some shine.
TPH By Taraji
One thing that differentiates TPH from other celeb-owned haircare lines is that it takes a scalp-first approach that guarantees you always have a healthy foundation for a jaw-dropping mane.
And while all their products are top-notch, the brand’s cult-favorite Master Cleanse ($14.99) takes the crown. The formula is loaded with tea tree oil and witch hazel water that tackle pesky dandruff and pimples, fortify the skin barrier for better hair growth, and deliver deep nourishment.
T.H.O.M (This Hair Of Mine)
If hair is power, then the scalp is where excellence originates – T.H.O.M.
Founded by haircare experts Remi Ajani and Cyndia Harvey, this texture-and-scalp-first haircare line’s mission is to create a space where the Black community can celebrate its cultures and heritage and connect with each other.
Its signature product? The SS.293 Scalp Serum ($46). The formula is packed full of pea peptides, which stimulate follicle productivity, fruit enzymes that gently exfoliate dead skin cells, and a blend of botanicals that keep moisture levels on point.
Girl + Hair Under Hair Care
Launched by Camille Verovic, Girl + Hair Under Hair Care provides you with six targeted elements designed to help cleanse, condition, nourish and soothe the scalp. The sophisticated concept also uses naturally sourced fortifying and protective ingredients that help promote growth, retention, and strength of hair follicles.
Our favorite regimen from the collection? The Girl + Hair Under Hair Care Refresh Dry Scalp + Hair Daily With Hydrating Milk ($14.99). It contains biotin, coconut water, hemp seed oil, and tea tree oil that enhance hair growth, remove product and sebum buildup, and soothe any itchiness on your crown.
It also has an easy-to-use applicator tip that allows for a clean application that gets right into the bane of the problem – a.k.a, your scalp.
Plus, with an alcohol-free, paraben-free, and sulfate-free formula, this is the product you never knew you needed to add to your washday routine.
