Black people are royal. That’s why our hair naturally forms a crown! Our For Crowns Only Hair Grow Shampoo combines the cleansing power of African Black Soap with a special blend of African oils that have been used for generations by Black people the world over. This shampoo was specifically formulated and tested to clean Black hair while also detangling and moisturizing. It’s lightly scented with citrus and musk. 

African Black Soap has been used for thousands of years. It‘s one of the purest and oldest soaps ever made, with all-natural ingredients from the earth. African Black Soap contains *Vitamin A, which is a nutrient necessary for the growth of healthy hair. Vitamin A also influences the production of melanin in the hair, suggesting potential anti-graying effects.

Chebe Oil comes from the chebe plant, which is famously used by the Black women of Chad, Central Africa. They use a chebe mixture to strengthen and grow their hair, oftentimes to lengths multiple feet long. The chebe plant itself is very ancient and has been *found in rock paintings in the Sahara desert. 

Castor Oil is *rich in fatty acids and amino acids, and has been shown to have antioxidant properties. The use of antioxidants has been shown to *improve the condition of the scalp and reduce hair loss. Castor oil was also used by ancient Black Egyptians over 3,000 years ago for a variety of body care purposes. 

Other great ingredients include: Luffa Oil, Batana Oil and Hyssop Essential Oil.

Our Hair Grow Shampoo is exactly what your crown needs to thrive! It’s made with a base of African Black Soap, so it contains no detergents. This is safe for use on all African hair types and styles including Afro/natural hair (all textures), locks, beards and even children’s hair! The light citrus/musk scent leaves the hair smelling clean and fresh. Reviewers have said this shampoo leaves their hair soft, detangled and moisturized. 

Enjoy!
