And thankfully, there are plenty of Black-owned brands that can help you do just that. With their offerings, you can take down your micros faster than ever, diffuse your ringlets, secure your bust-down middle part, and add some sheen to your silk press.

Read on for 14 Black-owned hair tools we're rushing to add to our carts.

Kazmalaje KurlsPlus Comb

KurlsPlus Comb
Kazmalaje KurlsPlus Comb $19.00
Shop

The curved handle of this comb helps it fit smoothly in the hand, while the prongs, which mimic natural fingers, make for painless detangling. And if that wasn't enough, you can use the tip of the handle to help unravel any stubborn knots.

PuffCuff

Elastic hair ties and rubber bands lead to hair damage. And even if you use the safer options, such as silk and satin, it might take multiple ties—and plenty of elbow grease—to pull back thick, textured hair. The PuffCuff helps secure curls and coils effortlessly, making it easier to rock a classic afro puff without the potential damage.
