Wakati collaborated with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to create a line of hair products specifically for curly and textured hair. One of the standout products from the brand is the Water-Activated Advanced Conditioner, which boasts a patented "finger-combable formula" to dissipate tight knots and support healthy-looking hair with coils and kinks. The formula was specifically created for those with 3C to 4C type hair, so that less time can be spent maintaining healthy hair and more time can be spent wearing it with pride.
As a new haircare brand, Wakati is also introducing itself to the world with other products like an Oil-Infused Cream, a Sulfate-Free Shampoo and a curl Re-Activating Conditioning Mist.
