Would African American hair products work on my hair?

Question

I have thick, curly, coarse, dry, frizzy hair. I have tried every curly/frizzy/dry/severe damage shampoo, conditioner, and serum under the sun, and nothing even begins to work. Straightening my hair helps, but it leaves it so dry and coarse, even though I use flat iron spray. I've been told I have "black girl" hair before by stylists, but I've never really been told if I could use African American hair products. I've also been told before that a hot oil treatment would be good for my hair. What do you think?

Answer 1

If nothing else works try the unexpected.

Answer 2

African American hair products may work with your hair but you may have to experiment. Personally I use a combination of products. I use a spray oil sheen when my hair has some dry ends and a glycerine based product for every day. I brush it into the scalp and ends before I pick it out. Good luck with your attempts.

Answer 3

If I were you, keep your hair protected from the sun and heat treatments like a flat iron, all that does is damage your hair more and in the long run make it worse so it takes more and more product to get it to "behave"

The african american hair products would work nice on your hair I am sure, I have lots of friends with hair similar to yours and that is what they use. The pink creme and the following

Answer 4

Of course you can. Try Creme of Nature and the hot oil thing but if you use a steamin' hot iron to straighten it, be careful cause it can smell burned and that can kill an intimate moment faster than see a picture of your parents making out.

Answer 5

What is "black girl" hair? I know some black people who have naturally straight hair, some with somewhat curly, and still others with very tight, natural curly hair, so I don't know who told you that, but you have to find the stuff that works for your hair type, not based on a STEREOtype.
I'm somewhat offended.
Go to the link and click on your hair types. Also, you can research on line the different natural ingredients that might help. I suspect, however, that your use of excessive heat is attributing to your hair's poor health. Good luck.

Answer 6

Girl360 needs to quit trippin, cause you obviously didn't mean it like that. I'm a black girl, and I say go for it. The products are for the hair TYPE not the race specifically. Do what you gotta do to look bomb, girl.
