Born from a desire to empower women with curly hair to love themselves from the inside out, Black-owned and operated Be Kekoa was created to offer those with curly and textured hair clean, effective alternatives to one-size-fits-all hair products. From a clarifying shampoo to deep conditioners, Be Kekoa offers a full line of curly-hair-empowering products designed to encourage women to rock their natural hair unapologetically.

A leader and authority in curls in the US curl community, Brandie Kekoa is a 3rd generation haircare professional following in the footsteps of her aunt and grandmother. In 2011, she took a leap of faith and created what’s known today as the Be Kekoa salon and healthy haircare brand.

At the center of Be Kekoa is the ethos that women with curly hair deserve real solutions—even for the toughest curly hair problems. The recent addition of the 5-Step Curl Healing Kit reflects this mission, offering a kit to soothe, nurture, moisturize, and enhance natural curls. 

Be Kekoa’s salon professional-focused product line is full of clean, natural, and hydrating ingredients. These ingredients encourage natural bounce and moisture to bring out the best in curls and include a clarifying shampoo, cleansing conditioner, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and rose water mousse. 

Based in Temecula, California, Be Kekoa is on a mission to make embracing the curl easier than ever. While the primary business functions as a salon, Be Kekoa reaches beyond the brick and mortar. With their services, retail distribution, healthy hair care education, and community empowerment, Be Kekoa is changing the landscape of curl haircare, one client and customer, at a time.
