About Be Kekoa
What is Be Kekoa?
Be Kekoa® is a curl-care brand and salon business from Southern California, made for kinky, curly, coily and wavy hair. Brandie Kekoa opened the Be Kekoa salon in 2011, and our products followed, in use since 2014. Today there are two salons, in Temecula and Palm Desert, and curlfriends in 49 states.
Who founded Be Kekoa?
Brandie Kekoa, a third-generation hair-care professional inspired by her grandmother and her aunt. She opened the Be Kekoa salon in 2011 because, in her words, she was tired of using products that didn't work for her type of curls. Read our story.
What does “Kekoa” mean?
Kekoa means warrior in Hawaiian. It is Brandie's name and the spirit of the brand. The “Be” in front of it is an invitation: be bold, be fierce, be Kekoa.

Using our products
How do I use Be Free Rose Water Mousse?
Shake well and pump the amount you need into your palm. Apply to damp hair and distribute evenly from roots to ends with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Scrunch for a natural look or style as you like, then let it air dry or use a diffuser for extra volume.
