Will it straighten African American natural and relax hair?

I'm of Irish/Scottish descent. My hair was getting really frizzy because I have a lot more grayhair now. I LOVE this product. I'd given up on having shiny hair again. This really works. So,I don't know about African American hair, but I think it's worth a try!

Most definitely !! I am African American and transitioned from relaxed to natural last year. It works wonders.

Yes, it will. I have nappy hair and do not use a relaxer. This works very well for me. My daughter relaxes her hair and has found it works quite well for her. Sorry It took so long to respond. I haven't looked at my e-mail for quite some time and I'm now trying to catch up on things.

yes, i am of mix descent an my hair is wavy, dry and frizzy at times, an it works wonders on my, wont use any other dryer, on natural hair if you use a little natural oil it will even give it a curl

It definately worked wonders for mines when i have perms and the period when i hadnt relaxed my hair over 6months. Its a lifesaver and cut the blowdry/straightening time in half.

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

Probably not! My hair is already soft and the directions for step 3 makes my hair exceptionlly limp and lifeless and lack luster. I'm waiting to see if I get the elasticity like the relaxer described in its description. The first application was horrible. However, today I put the relaxer in eliminating the reconstructor until after I washed with the normalizing shampoo. It's better than the first time but still not as described. This is a very expensive relaxer and I don't see the results as described yet. I will keep trying I have two more applications.

Yes. I am Afrian American with 3c/4a hair. It loosened my curls and kept my hair soft and managable. I caution you to follow the instructions if you do not want to starighten you hair. The effect is not permanent, but does last a while. I like the straightened state. Military regulations are not supportive of natural hair. My hair is strong and is retaining alot of length. Continue to do your weekly treats, i.e Deep Conditioning, Aphogee, etc.

I'm african american with curly 4a 4b hair. Whenever I used this it was on straight hair and it worked fine. I don't think I would dare use it on in stretched hair.

"Ethnic" hair comes in lots of different textures. This works well with relaxed hair. It works on natural hair with a looser curl pattern.

Athanase, I don't know what Afro-Caribbean 4C hair is like, but I am African American and in the last year has gone natural from relaxed and I love it. I do blow dry and flat iron my hair and this dryer helps to smooth out the shaft of my hair. I bought this dryer because with all of the others I purchased the head would fall off as I tried to dry through my hair. This head locks into place and goes through my natural kinks without difficulty. I am very satisfied. Suni W.

Yes. This can be a straightening or curling iron. It gives u those big lovely curls.

Yes it will... just slide it down ur hair and keep it swisting as you curl your hair. If u let it sit with no movement and try to curl you will have little crimpt lines in your hair. Its one of the best straightners out there. Valued at $200 for resale in the mall. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

I've tried it on a male friend who let me straighten his afro, and it took a while. I cant really vouch for that because I have thinner hair.

I have naturally curly, but I use it when I straighten my hair too. It's not heavy. It's a leave-in conditioner. I would say yes.

I definitely liked the one condition because of the way it deranged and conditions. My hair didn't take to the three step routine with this product and the defining gel made my hair really knotted. I started using Shea Moisture, Mixed Chicks, and Renpure Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. They're all sulfate and paraben free and they work really well with African American hair. I don't want to discourage you from this line though. I would say to find out your curl pattern and then try it for yourself. That's the only true way you'll know. Good luck!

Hi! I think it probably would. That being said, I have very fine hair, and don't need to have it straightened. I think it does afford protection, even for those of us who use a blow dryer. It's a good product, and does offer control. I think that you should try a small bottle, and see if it is for you. I think that you will like it. I did; provided I only use a little. Hope I have helped you.

Hi Danielle! I have natural African Anerican hair and it works great! Also try to use the system that fits the thickness of your hair!

My natural hair is VERY thick and coarse. If you apply this relaxer and make sure you go back and SMOOTH it afterward, I can't imagine that your hair would revert. I just did my touch up this past weekend and I had A LOT of thick, new growth. My hair is so straight and manageable, it's amazing!
