6 Hydrating Shampoos From Black-Owned Brands
Our fellow Black girls with dry, textured hair will know—our scalps crave nothing more than hydration. As a result, we're always looking for new products that effectively help retain moisture, and it all starts with a promising shampoo (and conditioner).
Below, discover the most moisturizing shampoos we've used in our haircare journeys, including classics like the Doux and new ventures like Beyoncé's Cécred.
Afro Unicorn Hair Care Magical Tresses Never a Knot Detangling Shampoo: $8.99
As children, we feel we might have missed out on having a shampoo marketed to us. We could've used those SpongeBob or Hannah Montana-themed ones because they were too drying. Thankfully, the next generation of young girls can enjoy their washing experience with Afro Unicorn's Magical Tresses line. The Never a Knot Detangling offers a pain-free, conditioning wash, and it smells delicious, with raspberry, apple and kiwi notes.
Mielle Rice Water Hydrating Shampoo: $9.99
Rice water is the age-old recipe for fast-growing hair. Instead of concocting it yourself, purchase Mielle's infused shampoo. For $9.99, this shampoo hydrates while also strengthening the hair and repairing split ends. It does everything—and well.

The Doux Sucka Free Moisturizing Shampoo: $13.99
The Doux is one of our favorite brands to use while perfecting a natural style. Beyond their curl creams lives the great Sucka Free Moisturizing Shampoo. After just one use, you can notice a difference. Plus, we're quite the suckas for the aesthetically pleasing packaging.
Fenty Beauty The Rich One Moisture Repair Shampoo: $29
Oh, Rihanna. You've saved our makeup and skincare and, now, our hair routines. Her new line of products uses her innovative Replenicore-5 technology, which allows this shampoo to gently and quickly soothe split ends and reduce breakage. Like all of her other items, it also smells like heaven with an aroma of amber and flowers.
Cécred Hydrating Shampoo: $30
Beyoncé hasn't disappoint us, either. This shampoo feels luxurious, from its minimalistic packaging to its silky, serum-like texture. Inside this formula, you'll find hydration from hyaluronic acid and a Phyto-Collagen Complex. You know when it's good when they use scientific terminology and boast a five-star rating.
Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Super Moisture Shampoo: $39
It says it in the name—don't despair, repair. This intensely hydrating formula unites algae extract with vitamin B and rosehip oil to instantly reveal happy, revitalized hair. It's one of the best in the market to use, especially if you have hair that is dry and brittle.
