Has anyone used this on thinning African American hair?

I'm not sure, but I think it would work for any type of hair. The trick is to use just the right amount, too much and it gets goopy and can be drying too. You just need a little sprinkle. I'm glad I tried it, it sure adds volume to my fine hair.

My friend/neighbor used this on her husband's hair and it REALLY thins the hair. She was very pleased with the Tinkle Hair Cutter. Unfortunately, she's been ill and hasn't been able to use it on me (my hair doesn't grown down but out and thick!). I'd guess it would help you but would recommend to go slow and carefully. Best wishes for success!

YES! My hair was thinning- I'm a black woman and my hair doesn't grow very fast but I got the ShenMin, had my hair braided under extentions for a month & had almost 2 inches of THICK new growth after using this. I actually went natural and now have a Head full of thick hair I use this faithfully- the only thing is because its a vitamin its best to take RIGHT before when you eat otherwise it will make you snack happy.

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!

Yes, most definitely, can be used on African American hair. A little goes a long way, but it works best when mixed with a dab of natural oil.

As far as I know, it only thickens what's already there. You might want to try aveda.com -- they have products that deal with thinning hair. A whole new line.

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.

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.

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 am black and it works wonders. I also use African shea butter and it makes the perm last longer between touch ups.

It worked for me. My hair is much thicker then it was when I started using it..

Hey Vicki, I'm African American as well, however my hair isn't very coarse. My daughter on the other hand has very thick and coarse hair. For years I've been trying to find anything to help with her dry scalp. Nothing worked until I got Wen. Wen was actually designed for African American hair since sulfate really dry out our hair. Her dry scalp is almost gone & I've only been using it for a little over a month now. I've also noticed that her hair has more sheen to it & is easier to comb through. I don't think that by you swimming any damage will be done by using Wen, saying I'm also a swimmer & use Wen on my hair. It's supposed to help restore moisture. But my motto is try it once & if you don't like it don't buy it again. I hope I helped. Have a blessed one. :-)

Yes and it works very well!! I'm mixed African American and Cuban and it works very well on my hair. My hair is straight with only one pass of the flat iron. I bought mine about 3 years ago and it still works as well as the day I bought it...

works for thinning and caucasian hair. My husband is the one who takes it. He has a bald spot like a priest/monge. In November he has combined with Phytocyane Revitalizing Shampoo Unisex. The shampoo works best. The vitamin alone won't work well for long period of time, it loses its strength. So added the shampoo after 3 months of vitamin use.

Yes, I use it on my hair (African American) daily as directed and have seen tremendous growth.

No. It did absolutely nothing for my hair! I used it for awhile. Nothing! It's a pain in the butt to do as well. I tossed my remainder.
