Do Koreans Own Black Hair

Koreans Own Black Hair and Run The African American Hair Industry

Do the Koreans own black hair ? That is the question that many people have been asking for years in the African American black community. Its seems that every where you go you see the Koreans running the black hair care industry. They seem to sale the hoarse, and Indian hair that is catered to African American women. We don't own any part of the money that's being made inside this billion dollar business. Most black owned beauty salons have to go to the Koreans to get the hair they need to supply to their customers, or risk losing business. When you go into the black community it is a Korean hair supply story on every corner. I know cause I have bought Do Rags, wave brushes, and grease for my hair from their store.

The question still remains why does the Koreans own black hair, hair care products, and even run nail shops that don't benefit the black community? I think it is most disturbing to watch money being generated the community but the dollars go somewhere else.
