And, you’re more than prepared: Your Ruka Hair EdgeSlick brush comes in a case you can just throw in your school bag without fearing mess. Then, it takes less than five minutes to oil your scalp, mousse your hair, and spritz your style with perfume to smell good all over. Best of all, your back-to-school routine is full of Black-owned products that’ll actually make your hair feel good all day long.
