Our story

Everybody left. He bought the block back.

April 29, 1992. When the smoke cleared there were no beauty supplies left standing. His last $5,000 opened the first Beauty Depot — then he opened more. The products came after: butters first, from recipes carried down through his African roots, then hair care, now styling. Premium, affordable, and still improving.

"I wish it was sold in more stores! This is the only holding gel that I can use to slick my hair back that still keeps it super soft and doesn't flake!! It's also amazing when I have my hair braided!!! Highly recommend"

Why Black Panther Strong?

Why is your formula better than petroleum?

Petroleum holds by coating your hair in a film that builds up on the scalp and flakes as it dries. We use vegan beeswax, which gives a strong, flexible hold that rinses clean in one wash.

Will this leave flakes or white residue?

Absolutely not. Our formula is designed to rinse out completely in one wash, leaving your hair soft and your scalp free of itchy residue or white cast.

Where are your products made?

We have manufactured our own products in-house for 34 years. Our lab is so trusted that major retailers like Target and Sephora use our expertise.

How long will my edges stay laid?

Up to 24 hours of hold - through humidity, workouts and long days. Our vegan beeswax base grips without going stiff, so your style moves with you instead of cracking or lifting when you sweat.

Will this work on my hair type and protective style?

Yes. Our formulas are made for every texture - relaxed, natural, fine or coarse - and for the styles you actually wear: edges, braids, cornrows, locs and twists. Same clean hold, no buildup, whatever your pattern.

What if I don't like it?

Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund you. Opened is fine. Just email info@blackpantherstrong.com with your order number.

There are a lot of products. Where do I start?

Start with your style, not the shelf. Take the 3-question routine quiz and we'll build a lineup around what you're wearing right now - sleek edges, fresh braids, or care in between.
