I just tried the Conair Infiniti - kept the reciept and box just in case it didn't work. But after the first use - I threw my reciept away. I must admit that my hair is natural, so I figure if it can straighten my thick and nappy hair, it must work on relaxed hair. I would reccomend it for black hair.

I have relaxed and colored hair and it works well for me. It makes it silky and soft. I wasn't conditioning my hair the way I should've been so I noticed shedding with use the attachment (or brush for that matter). So, I had to start using Infusium 23 just for the vitamins it has (which I should've been doing all along). But overall, I've had this product since mid Dec '06 and I really like it. I tell everyone I know about it.

Thanks for asking.First of all, I believe if your hair is dark brown, black shouldn't be a great choice since black is real black black. I personally advise dark brown since my dark brown is real "dark brown", definitely darker than the picture shows which is provided by the original seller.My dark brown looks like " natural black" at a glance and its dark brown when take a look closely.Hope this answers your question, any further question feel free to let me know, thank you.Best regards,

Hahah! To be honest I haven't used it since my 3rd attempt of trying to create normal waves. My hair texture is a strange one. With that to be said, I tried it on my friends hair and I've discovered that it works better when you blow dry you hair first. But, no body got time for that. So, i just have mine under my counter.

I've used this on African-American hair and it works perfectly. Just use high heat and be sure to drag it from the roots to the ends very slowly. But be careful - don't burn your hair.

I've used mine on low heat, low air setting.. Also, with my curly hair, I usually leave my hair a bit damp and let it air dry to finish - seems to keep more of the curl and less frizz.

I am african American with relaxed hair that reach just an inch or two below where my bra snaps in the back. My hair normally tangle a great deal while roller setting, with this shampoo I no longer have that problem. It detangles my hair very well. I hope I have answered your question. I truly LOOVE this product. Every texture hair is different but I suggest you try it, after all it's very affordable. I imagine it will work wonders on natural hair.

Make sure that the indicator light on the settings is on a higher setting, it always starts on the lowest setting. I set mine on the next to highest setting and it works great for me. I have fair skin with dark hair. I love my unit!! Don't give up!

If you are using black castor oil or this product it does not work well on relaxed hair, because it contains salt (black castor oil). Black castor oil is great on natural hair.

I am an African American female with thick wavy hair that I relax. My hair is dark brown with light highlights. The dark brown works perfectly for me.

Well I hope that does not happen to me for a while. I also love this item it does not damage my hair and it looks so beautiful. I only have 2 settings on mine. Maybe now that I know it does work, I will opt for a more expensive model.

I'm using it as a regular treatment when I was my hair as conditioner or leave it in on my ends and works perfectly, my stylist says works better with heat but it's depends on your hair type. I love this product

Yes, I didn't have a problem with the black color but the chestnut tangled really bad. The black hair was good tho. Yes, you can curl and straighten the hair. Hope that helped

Ive seen a few videos on youtube, many women do vlogs on herbal hair care products. For relaxed or permed hair, they said its best to use clear or white castor oil. Jamaican black castor oil has such a high salt content, that it can lead to severe breakage on your hair, so its not the best thing to use on your relaxed/permed hair, only if you're ALL natural. I would say if you're going to use this, try to get as much info about this product as much as possible.

My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me. They heat up VERY quickly, and I blow dry my hair first, so I put them in my hair as soon as they are ready, but manual says if you need to, let them heat a little longer, and leave them in until they are cool, but I don't have to do that. If you don't like hot rollers, the only alternative is a flat iron. I prefer the rollers. I use them to smooth out my hair and turn it under at the bottom, also have bangs, but they would certainly work for curls to a certain extent, but this set is the set with larger rollers for more body or smoothness, rather than curls. Set with some smaller rollers would work better for tighter curls. My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me.

I have very curly hair too - this works but tends to leave hair looking dried out at the ends - my stylist feels it's because these (and similar) flat irons can't get hot enough - she recommends getting a professional grade device. Haven't decided to do this yet, and will have to get a reminder as to the recommended brand.

The temperaturr is setting in intensity not in degrees. You can set it low. My hair is fine too, i do not recomnend, i do not use it too much because of that. When i use it, i spreads on hair too much leave in to protect it.

That is awesome that you've been without chemicals that long. That is what I was going for when my friend tried the CHI iron on my hair. I am bi-racial as well(black, white) and am tired of having to relax my hair every couple of weeks. It worked wonders, it only took an hour to straighten it opposed to the 3 hours it takes to put a relaxer in my hair, blowdry and then press. I am buying a CHI today!
