The CurlScout Affiliate Program is an influencer affiliate program for the curl queens who want to make money promoting the products they use in their hair through their blog and social media.

At CurlScout, we believe in supporting unique, up and coming brands that support and make the beauty needs of women of color a priority rather than an afterthought. We are seeking affiliates to help further our mission and make it easy for naturalistas everywhere to find & buy from the best and most buzzed about indie brands along their journeys.

We are looking for real women who support and are actual users of any of the woman of color owned natural hair brands on our website. We want to work with women who are passionate about our mission to support small brands and ready to spread the news about our platform and unique products. 

So if you love what we are doing and if you already have natural hair products, tools or accessories in your stash, check to see if we sell the brand on our site, then you are almost ready to start promoting and securing the bag! Below are a few types partners we think would be a perfect fit. If you don’t see yourself listed, no worries, you’d be great too:

• Members of online curl groups
• Curly girl influencers
• Natural Hair & Beauty Bloggers
• Natural Hair & Beauty Instagram Mavens

We also take into consideration factors such as whether you:

• have and operate a website/blog;
• have an active email list; and
  
• have engaged followers on your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube).

No, there is no charge to join the CurlScout Affiliate Program. It is free to sign up, and free to add banners and links to your website/blog and/or social media.

5% commission on all sales you generate, subject to the program’s terms and conditions.

As a CurlScout Affiliate, you will regularly share your unique link on Instagram or post a link/banner on your website to drive traffic and sales on CurlScout.com. We encourage you to post and promote as often as possible. Guidelines will be provided. Social media accounts must remain public at all times while you are an active CurlScout Affiliate. No private accounts.
