Hair products, hair tools, accessories and pro equipment for kinky, curly and coily hair. Every item passes through our network of pro afro hair stylists before it lands on the shelf. No recycled marketing, no gimmicks. Shipped to London, New York, Toronto and the rest of the Miapoda network.
Afro and textured hair has been a blind spot for far too long. High street shelves cater to straight-hair brands. Social media keeps contradicting itself. Specialty sites deliver unevenly. Miapoda exists to clear the mess, methodically.
We list what actually works, not what sells well. The filter takes three lines. If most of our pro afro hair stylist network doesn't use a product in their salons, it doesn't make the shelf. If the ingredient list includes harsh sulphates or build-up-prone silicones, same answer. If a tool breaks more hair than it detangles, ditto.
The result is a tighter selection than mainstream marketplaces, but one you can buy with your eyes closed.
Four worlds, each with its own buying guide and FAQ.
Human-hair wigs, synthetic wigs, lace fronts, closures, extensions and weaves for afro and textured hair.
Afro picks, brushes, dryers and clippers built for textured hair.
Creams, oils, masks and shampoos for afro and curly hair.
Satin bonnets, elastics, scarves and protective accessories.
Capes, aprons, lighting and equipment for salon stylists.








Why you can buy with confidence what's on our shelves.
Our partner stylists flag the products that stand out in their salons, well before brands ever reach out to us.
We read ingredient lists line by line. Harsh sulphates, insoluble silicones, paraffin, mineral oil: immediate exclusion.
Three months minimum of testing on 3A to 4C hair. No validation after a single use, because real effects only show over time.
Sign-off from at least three independent pros before the product hits the shelf. That's the last gate.






















The other half is our worldwide network of pro afro hair stylists: London, New York, Toronto, Lagos, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Sydney, Paris, Montreal, Brussels and beyond. Ask your questions before buying, book an appointment to try a product in-salon, or find your go-to stylist.
Everything to know about the shop, shipping and our commitments.
Because our selection is built by and for the afro community. Every product is validated by our network of pro stylists specialising in kinky, curly and coily hair before it goes on the shelf. You're not buying "a product that might work", you're buying what already works at your go-to stylist's. If you're unsure, you can ask them directly through our directory.
Across Europe (UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy), North America (US, Canada), Australia, and several African countries (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire). Delivery takes 3 to 10 days depending on destination, with email and SMS tracking at every stage.
Three main criteria. 1) Real fit for kinky, curly and coily hair (no recycled marketing). 2) Clean formulation, with no harsh sulphates, no insoluble silicones, no paraffin or mineral oil for hair care. 3) Durability: for hair tools we favour products that last 5+ years over disposable gimmicks.
Yes, 14 days to change your mind. The product must be unused, in its original packaging. A free return label is provided on request. Full refund within 7 days of return. This policy doesn't apply to opened cosmetic products (oils, masks, shampoos) for hygiene reasons.
Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Apple Pay and Google Pay via Stripe, the most secure payment solution on the market. 3 or 4 instalments with no fees from £50/$60 via Stripe Klarna. All transactions are encrypted, we never store card numbers.
Yes, that's the very reason Miapoda exists. Beyond the shop, you'll find a directory of pro afro hair stylists in London, New York, Toronto, Lagos, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Sydney, Paris, Montreal, Brussels and beyond. Direct online booking, secure payment, verified reviews. Many of our customers discover a product at their stylist's, then come to the shop.
Standard (3-7 days) included in the price from £50/$60. Express (1-3 days) available as an upgrade in the UK and US. Pick-up points available across Europe. For African destinations, we ship by DHL or local insured post.
For technical products (treatments, relaxers, keratin): ask a stylist from our directory, since most reply for free in less than 24 hours. For hair tools: read the FAQs and product sheets at the bottom of each page, written with pros. For accessories (bonnets, headwraps, hair ties): the product sheet is enough, since these are gift-friendly.
