Have you ever wondered why Koreans "own" the Black Hair Care Industry?

- Well, they didn't just "stumble" upon it if that's what you thought. "The Korean Takeover of the Black Haircare Industry" Documentary by Aron Ranen details the racism that certain Asians %26amp; whites partake in in the Black hair care industry

They have intentionally blacklisted black made products in favor of Asian made ones that are made for Blacks. They have studied said products, bootlegged them, then refused to sell them in their stores

These same Asian merchants were interviewed and lauged about the whole situation. There was a Black store owner who claimed that the Asian makers would not even sell the products to him and other Black store owners in hopes of their stores lacking product, leading to lacking sales, leading to them closing, leading to a new Asian store opening in it's place. Asian store owners, product makers, and cultural experts admitted that the takeover is very racially charged.

Does this bother anyone else?

Well I have a friend who is black and owns a beauty depot in NY. He has all the same stuff as the asians and sells at a lower price but ppl still go to the asians even though they receive bad service. It bothers me, but I always look for depots that are owned and operated by blacks but I have not found one in Central FL not ONE.

I would think that Black people should own the Black Hair Care Industry, since they know what's best for their hair.

I'm not Black, but it is bothersome.

There are a lot of large markets willing to sell black hair

care products. I'm not sure what you are talking about!

Of course there has to be an identifier to reveal that these

products are founded by African American businessmen.

That's why the proud lady is the trademark on back of the

black owned hair care products. I don't think it's wrong for

others to sell black hair care products, we have free en-

terprise in America, or at least that's the ideology. Black

people should be aware that these other sellers are

employing black salesman, and using black manufacturers

for their products. Its' the only way that we can compete

in an overly diversified market! Blacks shouldn't limit there

products to only black people either!

Well, a lot of the weaves are made from Korean women's hair.

i don't use black hair products. that is money down the drain. they don't work. if i see you throw some conditioner on your hair and you wake up with 2 feet of hair then YEA i'll use it. but i haven't seen any real results. i use v05 conditioners and mane n tail. my hair grows like crazy with those, and it feels softer also. no relaxers, just me naturally.

I watched this on YouTube recently. I'm not African American, rather half Native, half Irish, but I use some of the products on my own hair because of 1) very hard water where I live and 2) they work wonderfully for my hair type as well--stick straight and thick. I've gone to a Black-owned store before (the lady was a fellow Tennessean, they still own one in New Haven) and the strange thing about it was that there was a Korean-owned beauty supplier right across the street from her store.

It actually isn't just hair items that are made in Asia for the AA market. There are also cosmetics, jewelry and other items that are imported for their needs.

Really, the only thing that will even come close to changing the current situation is for Black store owners to find alternative sources for the particular items they need, and cut out the middleman altogether.

You have GOT to be kidding me. If this bothers you so much, then open your own damn beauty supply store. Nobody is forcing black people to shop at Asian-owned stores or to purchase Asian-manufactured products. There are plenty of black-owned haircare companies out there. Look for the AHBAI logo so that you know that the products are from a black-owned company. Do your research and purchase accordingly. And what exactly is stopping you from purchasing products online?
