3 Black-Owned Businesses Online to Follow

1. The PuffCuff
Ceata E. Lash created The PuffCuff to create hair accessories for individuals who have naturally thick, coarse hair. Before The PuffCuff, Ceata struggled to find a solution for thick, coarse hair, but it just didn’t exist. So for Ceata, her goal was clear: To create an easy-to-use styling tool to help make quick looks that were durable and affordable.
Now, Ceata runs a successful eCommerce business that makes it easy for individuals to create quick and affordable looks. No matter if you’re on the go or just lounging around, The PuffCuff is your best option for naturally thick, coarse hair.
The PuffCuff is offering “Buy One, Get One” 50% with code “BOGO50” for Black History Month 2022. Plus, the successful online store supports the Black Lives Matter movement and donates $1 of each sale from their “I Support Black-Owned Businesses” apparel.

2. ElectroSpit
ElectroSplit is a black-owned business established in Oakland, California. ElectroSplit Founder and CEO Bosko were forced to lip-sync with Kanye West at the American Music Awards because the traditional talkbox isn’t portable.
For reference, a “talk box” is a unique audio effect that allows individuals to modify or alter an audio signal that uses an individual’s mouth as a filter to shape the sound.
Bosko’s experience at the American Music Awards set him on a mission to reinvent the talkbox. So in 2014, Bosko’s dream of having talk boxers recognized for their talent became a reality with the ESX-1 Tubeless Mobile Talkbox.
The ESX-1 Tubeless Mobile Talkbox is easy to use, all you have to do is first download the Synth App, and you’re one step closer to creating great sounds. The ESX-1 Tubeless Mobile Talkbox comes with features such as:
- Power built-in amplifier
- Lightweight and portable
- Compatible with synths + guitars
- Companion app for perfect sound
- Tubeless and shareable
- Compatible with any DAW
How Easyship Helps: Easyship helps ElectroSplit offer worldwide shipping in 2-4 business days with their global fulfillment network so ElectroSplit can reach their international customers. Plus, Easyship offers excellent shipping tools like our Branding Suite so businesses can create a delivery experience consistent with their brand.
