Question

Answer 1

Depends, as long as it doesn't have a lot of oil you can. Otherwise your hair might look greasy.

Answer 2

im a white redhead and as a racist joke when I was in college where we had a Karen cosmetology school to have my hair straightened. I bought a Brazilian blowout but the girls thought it would be really funny to switch out my blow out and see what would happen to put a relaxer on my hair. First it started to burn, I was rushed to the sink, I saw the girls eyes go wide and I put my hand back to touch my hair my hand came back with melting globs of hair melting away. I had to shave my head several times to get to Virgin hair. My scalp was burned, I still have patched of missing hair even though his happen in 2011, it changed how my hair grows and the speed. If you want to control you're hair do a Brazilian blowout or a Chinese method of straightening hair expensive but it will literally keep your hair bone straight for months you only have to keep up with the roots. I plan to do this method. Don't do a relaxer you're hair very well may melt off.

Answer 3

Of course. White people and any other people can use whatever products are on the market. It doesn't mean the effects of these products are going to be the same with everyone. Depending on your hair texture and the type of black hair product you use... may be a good thing... may not.

Answer 4

I never knew there was gel for white people and gel for black people. Use what you want and see how it works for you. If you like what it does, keep buying it.

Answer 5

Im no expert but i would say no..i had a black friend and I tried some because I was in a pinch..it made my hair look limp and as if i hadn't washed it in weeks..it make for people with course hair so you could if your hair is extremely curly and/or rough.

Answer 8

Where did you get the idea that gel is race specific?? I never heard of such a thing.

Answer 9

Yeah. But you have to either have thick or curly hair. Because if you use it on bone straight hair It will dry up and your hair will tangle and stick together and start to fall out.

Answer 10

Let's just say that it won't damage your hair but the control factor may be higher than you need, which is absolutely okay. It's just that your hair might look a little too slick and stiffly in place.
