What's included

Everything you need to
build for textured hair

Every endpoint is designed around the real needs of Black and textured hair — not retrofitted from generic beauty data.

🔍
Product Search & Filtering

Search by hair type (3A–4C), porosity, concerns, category, and ingredient flags. Filter out sulphates, parabens and silicones in a single query.

🧪
Ingredient Intelligence

Look up any ingredient and get plain-English analysis — curl-friendliness, porosity suitability, buildup risk, and specific notes for Black hair.

✨
AI Recommendations

Send a hair profile and get back ranked product recommendations with plain-English reasons. Powered by vector search and GPT-4o.

🏷️
Brand Data

Filter by Black-owned brands, origin country and product range. Know exactly which brands are independently owned versus acquired by conglomerates.
