I did a little of googling and it seems most african american women used this on their relaxed hair.

It will work with your hair because I have thick coarse hair. Just brush or comb your hair before using them they are soft enough to sleep in.

I am not African American --- but I would think this product would work on any kind of hair. It gives your hair a shiny finish. Doesn't alter the color or texture of your hair. The price is good. It will not ruin your natural hair. I have used this for years. Good luck!

I don't know what you mean by "African American hair". I am Egyptian, therefore American-African or African American to use the term imposed by European-Americans. I have friends who are American-Africans and none of us have "dry, brittle African American hair" as a standard. Since all types of human hair is composed of the same substance, is your question does this product work for dry and brittle hair.(PERIOD). If yes, I would guess that the answer to your question may be determined by what is causing your hair to be "dry, brittle".

I think it depends on the type of hair you have. My hair is dark brown,healthy, not colored nor exposed to any harsh chemicals, wavy, tendency to frizz, usually dry. I use 7 Miracle ( lavender color one) and alternate with another shampoo with argan oil. That being said, this one works better for me. Regardless of my hair being completely dry or a little bit wet, it works well. I still blow dry it a little bit and then run the Babyliss pro. If your hair is dammaged or colored regularly, I would suggest you first get a good shampoo and conditioner, a heat protectant and then start using this flat or any flat iron. Sally Beauty Supply in Bowie, MD is the store I get everything I need. The lady there was very good at pin pointing which shampoo and conditioner would be good for my type of hair. Also, if they hadn't worked I could have taken them back and try another one. I hope this helps.

I think it would weigh it down. It dried my hair out and made it feel gummy at times. Of course I have thick coarse hair, so perhaps it would be different on fine hair. I will not order it again. Hope this helps!

It depends on what hair type you have. I have African American hair and it completely dried my hair out, but my roommate had white people hair and she said the product worked well for her. She did use the conditioner at all

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.

Yes, this product is great for 2C/3A hair -- I've been using it for years. A little goes a long way. I have 2C/3A hair in humid places, and a tendency to frizz. Kind of reverts to 2A/2B in the desert/dry environments. I have dense, medium porosity and medium width hair -- bi-racial Asian/Caucasian. My daughter (mostly Caucasian) with fine, low porosity 2A/2B hair likes the Shea Moisture Hold & Shine Moisture Mist better.

I think it would be PERFECT for African American hair! I love it on my white bread hair, but the stuff is simply GREAT and it seeps in to the hair shaft in minutes so I say yes! Your hair should soak it right up!

FrancelisYes. I am African American with thick shoulder length hair. My beautician does homecare and my hair is so thick that she can use almost scalding hot water and I can barely feel it on my scalp. I only use it for a wet set with rollers and I have had no problems with it drying my hair within one timer setting. The best thing about it us if is a comfortable heat that has never irritated my scalp.

Lady Bey is right. You need to find a regimen that works. I had issues with brittle and very dry hair. so I do the green house effect she described below and also try to do a hot oil treatment every week. Hope this helps

Well some may beg to differ about my hair being African American. I am black with loose curls. It worked miracles on my hair! I only use the spray. I also put a lot if extra moisture in my hair at night. This product is a little drying . It is definitely worth going to the Aveda store for a sample.
