Is this shampoo for African American hair - or does it even matter? I have thick, natural wavy, very dry hair.

I think it was originally created for African American hair, but it works great on my extremely fine, thick, naturally wavy, very dry Caucasian hair. I'd get the moisturizing conditioner to go with it. I think it works as well as Bumble & Bumble Invisible Oil shampoo and conditioner, and it's a whole lot less expensive. Hope that helps.

This shampoo is for thick and dry hair. I have dreadlocks and I use. This shampoo does rinse out well. However, if you are still on the fence, you can purchase a smaller bottle. Also DO NOT purchase it from Amazon. It's overpriced. Go to your local Target or Duane Reade.

I use this product in my hair that is naturally wavy (almost curly) along with mousse before I blow it out straight. I have thin, fine hair. I don't put it in my hair and let it air dry, wouldn't work for my hair type.

It will moisturize and not strip your hair. It's really best if your hair tends to be on the dry side, otherwise you might feel that there's a slight build-up feeling. I would say it's a great shampoo to use during the winter months when you're dealing with dry air and central heating. On the other hand, I used to have a stylist that worked with a lot of African American clients, and she said that she also had very loyal Asian clients because she used African-American hair products on their hair and it worked beautifully.

It is for any type of wavy hair. You just won't have to use as much. I would recommend just using the shampoo without conditioner. The shampoo is very creamy and moisturizing, so you should be fine.

I'm afraid not because the diameter and texture of your hair is probably too thick. But if you would like to try it anyway, have a consultation at a salon that uses this product and see what they say. I personally have not used on anybody that has African American hair, so I can't really help you.

It does not work well, I prefer The dry shampoo from "Alterna, Bamboo". It is sulfate free though.......

Yes, its a great shampoo. You might need to wash your hair two or three times before its conditioned and braided. Its very natural i love to use it on my american born jamaican dna kids...lol I hope you like it too.

Absolutely. My mother is African American and she uses it with much success. We wear our hair natural. Mom with braids and I have dreads. I don't know how straightened hair will react to the liquid (like if it will kink up) but it worked well thickening African American hair.

Nowhere on the product bottle or its online description does it imply that it is only for African-American hair. I do not have that type of hair and it has worked very well For me.

I'm African American with really curly hair. It is a tight springy curl. This product does tame the curl all though i don't know the strength of it. But I do feel that this is not harsh on the hair like some of the ones specifically for very curly hair. Hope this helps!

Yes. My hair is wavy, thick, and in the on-between phase. Works very well on natural hair. My hair is always really straight

Yes it does help on african American hair, I have pretty similar to african American hair because my hair is thick, coarse, and dry, and it helped me for about 5 to 6 months, also is the frequency that you wash your hair with that will determine whether or nother it lasts you or not. By the way I suggest getting 2 sets instead of one because even though it is plenty it wasnot enough for me because my hair absorbs fast and I have a lot of hair

I am Caucasian, so I can't vouch for this soap on African American skin specifically, but I can tell you I find it rather drying. If the person you want to give it to has sensitive skin, it would probably be a good idea to get something gentler.

I love mine. I have thick curly hair that takes hours and hours to dry naturally. This dries my hair in 10-15 min and does not frizz it out. Go for it.

I am caucasian, I use just a few drops on my scalp and about a dime size amount on my ends. My hair is shoulder length and thick and curly. I would say experiment with it, I have really dry hair so I use a bit more depending on how dry my ends are. It is mostly coconut oil so it isn't a heavy oil at all. :)

I only use the conditioner since years ago a stylist told me use a cheap shampoo and the top of the line conditioner. I have normal curly hair and it does good to it. I find the product too thick so I put water in it and it is just fine and definitely makes my hair silky
