Our Black-Owned Brands We Love series continues! ❤️
At Ginko Store, we're always on the lookout for Black-owned brands that are pushing the beauty industry forward through innovation, quality and authenticity. Whether they're solving everyday hair concerns or creating products specifically designed for textured hair, these founders are building brands that deserve to be celebrated.
This time, we're introducing Dosso Beauty and NoireÔNaturel—two brands with very different stories but one shared mission: helping the Black community care for their hair with products they can truly trust.
1. Dosso Beauty
Sometimes, the best ideas come from personal experience.
After suffering a severe allergic reaction to traditional braiding hair, founder Kadidja Dosso realised there had to be a better solution. Instead of accepting irritation, itching and discomfort as part of the braiding experience, she created Dosso Beauty—a brand dedicated to making protective styles healthier and safer for everyone.
Today, Dosso Beauty is one of the few brands offering clinically tested hypoallergenic braiding hair, developed for people with sensitive scalps and skin. Their braiding hair is free from many of the irritants commonly associated with traditional synthetic extensions, while still delivering the softness, lightweight feel and natural finish we all want.
If you've ever experienced itching or irritation after getting braids, Dosso Beauty is definitely a brand worth discovering.
Why we love Dosso Beauty ❤️
One of the few clinically tested hypoallergenic braiding hair brands, perfect for sensitive scalps and allergy-prone customers.
2. NoireÔNaturel
Long before natural hair became mainstream, NoireÔNaturel was already educating women on how to care for textured hair.
Founded in France by Fétia, the brand grew from one of the country's earliest natural hair blogs before becoming a full haircare range dedicated to Afro, curly and coily hair. Frustrated by the lack of products specifically formulated for textured hair, she developed a collection combining botanical ingredients with certified organic expertise.
Today, NoireÔNaturel is recognised as one of France's pioneering Black-owned organic haircare brands. Every product is formulated to nourish textured hair without compromising on ingredient quality, making healthy hair routines both effective and enjoyable.
Whether you're looking to improve moisture retention, reduce breakage or simply build a healthier hair routine, NoireÔNaturel offers products designed with textured hair in mind.
Why we love NoireÔNaturel ❤️
The haircare range is ECOCERT certified under the COSMEBIO standard and contains up to nine times more organic ingredients than the certification requires!
