My mom was my first guinea pig—years of wearing weaves left her hair so damaged she couldn’t wear it out, she ended up with traction alopecia. I combined my chemistry background with her plant wisdom to create hydrating products that transformed her hair, and now she’s finally loving her natural hair.

Hair thinning and breakage often occur when your hair lacks the hydration it needs to stay strong and resilient. Without proper moisture, hair becomes brittle, fragile, and prone to split ends. The key to reversing this damage is restoring and locking in hydration with products designed to nourish and protect your hair from the inside out.

Struggling with dry or brittle hair?
Our hydrating lines are specially formulated to keep your hair deeply moisturized while promoting growth. The Aloe Vera line is perfect for hair that takes forever to dry after washing ( low porosity hair ), while the Hibiscus line is ideal for hair that air-dries super quickly ( high porosity hair ).

Let customers speak for us


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.

As a cardiovascular scientist and founder of Dr.Kanks, I created products specifically for Black women because I know the struggle. Most products on the market are formulated for medium porosity hair and won't penetrate our hair or can't keep our hair moisturized for a couple of days. Everything here is natural, effective, and made with care
