Arcani Coil Care

We all would love to have a little more control over things in our life, but first, let’s address those edges. A little Enthroned Edges Edge Control by Arcani will have those baby hairs lying flat all day. In fact, Arcani Coil Care claims this edge control will leave your edges laid for three to five days without flakes, residue or even that greasy feeling. See for yourself and tag your selfies to take part in Arcani’s #rubchallenge.

From consumer to CEO, Alikay Naturals founder Rochelle Alikay Graham-Campbell was a 22-year-old college student when she first started developing her products. Her first formulas were cooked up in her kitchen before she created the company you see today.

Rucker Roots

Rucker Roots creators Ellen and Ione have been making products for themselves since the 1980s. With their long appreciation of natural products, they wanted to not only make them for their daughters but other women of color who are looking for the right tools to help them appreciate their natural hair. Since first starting their brand in 2015, it has come a long way and they most recently launched their Restorative Edge Control, made with avocado, castor and olive oil. It’s one of many great products in the Rucker Roots collection.
