How does this product work on natural African American hair?

I am not African-American, but I am allergic to all hair dye, except henna. I would say what ever high lights or color you want your hair to be, pick a shade lighter due your naturally dark hair. I think it's an excellent choice, as some of my friends are Black and hair dye ruined their hair (e.g. Broken, brittle & bald spots). Henna is natural, from plants and is also used for skin art.

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.

Yes. This is a great product for natural hair even chemically treated hair.

Yes it's designed for African American hair, it's great for anyone but it's often found in the section for AAhair. There are several different formulas but the one here is a great one to start with. All of the Shea Moisture products are outstanding!

I am African American with 3C natural hair.I always let my hair air dry. So I am not quite sure why that happened but it is possible, depending on the texture of your hair, that an ingredient has an adverse affect on your particular texture. Also, I generally combine the conditioner with coconut oil or shea butter to seal it. Hope this is helpful.

Hi Lisa, I used it on my 5 year old's shoulder length natural ethnic hair and it worked fine. I made sure to keep it only on her hair and not let the steam touch her scalp. It worked perfectly for me.

Francelis Yes. 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.

If you are african American I would not recommend the shampoo at all..Seriously it's so strong. It made my hair shed so much... I never use the shampoo anymore only the conditioner.However I used it for 4 months and my hair grew 4 inches! So it works :)

I've only used it on my natural hair actually for setting with curlformers and it worked fine I believe.

Yes the product is great for natural hair. My wife and I use the product. A little dab goes a long way. You could use it every day, but I like to alternate with other products.

Yes. I have natural 4C African American hair and I think this is personally a great product to have in my arsenal. When you are transitioning through those stages it can be really hard to keep your hair moisturized but I use it daily, and extra on wash day. I also add it to my homemade hair masks that I like to do a couple times a week.

I have processed hair, and it works wonders for me. I actually ordered this by mistake. I meant to purchase Olive Oil and Clove Therapy by Organics. In my opinion, it's better than the African Pride version....still I used it on processed hair.When my hair needs another relaxer or when it has ½ new growth added, it doesn't do a thing for me. So, I'm not sure how it works on natural hair. I hope this helps.

Although I am not African American, I believe it will work well on it. My wife had it on high at first. She turned it down about 2/3 the way and it still straightened her hair nicely. Her hair is medium thickness and pretty curly. I think 3/4 on the heat would do for African American hair. I hope I helped you. Christine

No, it just set on my scalp and did nothing for my hair. I tried customer service and they were not helpful, actually really rude. So I would not recommend this product and it is really expensive and does NOT work.

I apologize that I'm unable to answer your question but I can offer you this statement. This product works well on my hair. I'm not sure if the texture of your hair will perform as you would like, but it really depends on what you are trying to do with your hair. If you are going to use this product anyway without consulting a hair expert, then please do a strand test as the instructions on the box suggest. You don't want to be bald! It really could take out your hair if you don't test the chemicals first. Some people will tell you yeah go ahead try it, it can't hurt, but they don't have your hair or the cells you have. Everyone is different and people sometimes don't pay attention to instructions and wind up very hurt or damaged by the products. please ask someone you trust. If you don't have anyone to ask professionally, then read the instructions carefully and follow the strand test. I stress this because I had a african american friend who thought that because she was black that she would not have any problems, she used the product without reading the instructions and all her hair came out in the sink. She forgot that she was taking medication also and that certain chemicals don't mix. It may sound strange but she was very upset and she ended up with bald spots all around her head and she had to wear a wig for six months. She's better now but the experience was terrible for her. I hope that I was able to help a little bit. Good luck with Mizani!

My beautician recommend this & told me it can be used on all types of hair for breakage areas. I can tell the difference. I am African American & she is Dominican. I have Caucasian friends that have used it too.
