.TherealTaraji launches a hair-care line inspired by her own at-home scalp remedies.
“Just think of me as the Fenty of haircare,” Taraji P. Henson says, laughing, of TPH by Taraji, her new vegan, cruelty- and paraben-free hair-care line. Its products are focused on the importance of scalp care, especially for those who often wear protective styles such as wigs, braids, and weaves. “Just because you’re doing protective styles, and maybe even have long hair because of it, doesn’t mean your hair is necessarily healthy.
Henson has always loved hair care, but she didn't begin embracing her own natural hair until age 29, on the set of the iconic movie. “I remember my hair was relaxed, and when I went to do the hair test, I asked the stylist if we could wait because I needed to get the relaxer touched up on my roots,” the actress recalls of her experience on her first major film. “She looked at my hair and she said, ‘Why would you have to do that? You have beautiful hair as is.
Eventually, out of sheer necessity, Henson began mixing her own scalp-relief formulas in her bathroom. “I never went into this process with the intent of selling something,” Henson says. “I simply created something that I truly was desperate for.”But when the opportunity arose to create her own line, Henson had a few priorities in mind. First, affordability: Each nourishing product is under $15. Next, she wanted each product to have an aromatherapy aspect to it.
As for what to expect next from Taraji and TPH? “I want everyone to feel seen in this brand,” the star says. “I want to do more for my curly girls. I also want to create things for men, especially the brothers. I even have women in my DMs asking for products for children. Hair styling tools are on my list as well. There’s so much I can do!” But, she hastens to add, “I think I’m off to a good start.
