Coming soon · The Afro Luxe Hair Lab
Your braids shouldn’t come with a warning label.
In 2025, Consumer Reports tested 10 bestselling synthetic braiding hair brands — and found carcinogens in every single one, including Kanekalon-based bestsellers. We read that report and made a decision: Kanekalon will never touch an Afro Luxe chair again.
When a pharmacist owns a braiding shop, it can’t be your regular braiding shop.
Every fiber we braid with is personally vetted by Dr. Bridget Kaspa, PharmD, MSc — certified trichologist — against a clinical checklist: sensitive-scalp safe, odor-resistant, and free of the harsh chemical load hiding in conventional synthetic hair. If it wouldn’t pass a pharmacist’s safety review, it doesn’t touch your head.
What’s coming:
- Scalp-safe braiding hair in the textures and lengths you love
- Sensitive-scalp safe fibers — gentle on tender scalps, kids included
- Odor-resistant fibers that keep braids fresher, longer
