Hey Queen! 💛
Due to the current high temperatures, please note that our whipped butters may melt during transit. While melting doesn’t affect the quality or benefits of the product, it can change the texture and appearance.
If you choose to order during this heat wave, we recommend placing your butter in the refrigerator for a few hours upon arrival to help it firm back up.
By placing your order, you acknowledge this possibility and accept that Dr.Kanks is not responsible for heat-related texture changes during shipping.

Did you know that over 10,000 toxins have been found in beauty products marketed to Black women—toxins linked to fibroids, cancer, and other diseases? Trust Dr.Kanks for clean, safe, and scientifically-formulated beauty products that prioritize your health.
Most brands formulate their products with medium porosity hair in mind, which often leads to ineffective results for other hair types. These products struggle to penetrate low porosity hair and fail to retain moisture in high porosity hair. At Dr.Kanks, we specialize in porosity-specific formulations that ensure every hair type—low, medium, or high—receives the targeted care it needs for optimal hydration and health.

Dr.Kanks specializes in porosity-specific hair care and plant-based skin products, using minimal synthetic ingredients and sourcing natural components from local and international suppliers.
When I first started formulating, I didn’t know about hair porosity. My journey began by giving free samples of a curly cream to women buying wigs from my first side hustle. Initially, feedback was positive, but then some women mentioned the product couldn’t penetrate their hair or define their curls.
Puzzled, I noticed a major difference when using the same product on a woman with high porosity hair—it defined her curls at first, but they vanished once her hair dried. This led me to dive deep into researching hair porosity during my PhD. I discovered that different porosity levels required specific formulations. Months later, I created a curly cream specifically for high porosity hair, tested it on the same woman, and the results were mesmerizing.

Hi, I am Dr.Kanks
There was a time when I hated my hair and wore wigs 24/7. It wasn’t until the Afrocentrism movement in Belgium that I learned to embrace my natural hair. That journey inspired my mission to create clean beauty products that help women feel confident in their skin and hair.
