Taraji P. Henson Reclaims Full Ownership of TPH Haircare

Taraji P. Henson, the award-winning actress and entrepreneur, has officially regained full ownership of her haircare line, TPH by Taraji. Originally launched in partnership with a brand incubator in early 2020, TPH set out to address everything from dry scalps to inflammation, quickly gaining a loyal following. Now, with Taraji at the helm—no middleman in sight—TPH enters a new era as a fully Black-owned enterprise.

When Henson first introduced TPH to the world, she wanted to provide something she felt the haircare industry was lacking: a focus on scalp health, especially for textured hair. Plenty of brands promise shiny, bouncy curls, but Taraji’s approach dives deeper, targeting the foundational issues that often get overlooked. The idea is simple yet groundbreaking: If your scalp isn’t healthy, it’s tough for your hair to truly thrive.

Stepping away from her original incubator partner, Henson explained she was ready to move forward on her own terms. Her decision speaks to a bigger conversation around ownership for Black women in business. Far too often, outside influence can reshape or dilute a founder’s original vision. By purchasing the brand outright, Henson is doubling down on her mission to create and deliver products specifically designed for diverse hair types without any compromise.

Since the brand’s debut, TPH products have lined the shelves of major retailers like Target—making them accessible for those seeking everything from scalp scrubs to soothing serums. Henson consistently points to her own hair journey, from playing iconic roles on screen to gracing red carpets, as the inspiration behind TPH’s unique formulas. She wanted solutions that could handle the stress of constant styling while still addressing everyday care.

Now that TPH is 100 percent under her wing, fans can expect an even bolder approach. Henson has hinted at upcoming expansions and fresh innovations, suggesting that the best might still be on the horizon. By taking full ownership of TPH, she’s not just boosting her brand—she’s also paving the way for other women of color to stake their claim in a competitive beauty industry. Henson’s move reinforces that when it comes to building a legacy, retaining creative control and ensuring authenticity remain key.
