Hello. I am Puerto Rican with coarse, naturally curly hair. I LOVE this. It doesn't leave my hair dry and brittle like box dyes. I stopped using relaxers, went all natural rocking my curls, so it was very important for me to hit the salon. Well this is formulated specifically for you, your hair type and you won't spend the big bucks you would at the salon. If it is a color that will stress your hair out too much, they will not even give it as an option. My curls have stayed the same and not stretched, worn out as with box dye. And yes the color you will not be disappointed with. I love it...

So far so good, I've only had for a week and no breakage of any kind. The color took great!

I wouldn't use this one. I am a light skinned black woman and it makes me pretty dark. Even I have to be careful when applying. I would try Bare minerals Faux tan. I think it would work better for you since it doesn't give you a deep tan.

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.

I actually think it works better if you have darker skin. The brown powder is really pigmented. I can only use a little bit because it goes a long way for me. But then again, I have light skin. As for the rest of the colors I feel that the darker you are, the better they will look.

No, this product is far too strong and damaging on African-American hair!The other 3 answers that disagree are from 1. Someone whose used it ONCE. 2. Someone who is mixed, which normally gives u a different texture of hair. And lastly Someone who not only responded they "think it could" but gave this item a 2 star review.Purchased it and initially fell in love... it's been 3 months and my hair is fried. I had strong, healthy, natural hair after cutting it over a year ago. After switching to this flat iron my hair is so damaged I'll probably have to cut it again.

I am a women of color I used the product for 8 months and it did not work for me. I also wasted so much money of these products. But I also know that what work for one do not always work for other, I am still looking. Good luck.

I use it at least twice a week on my edges. I'm not always consistent but I believe along with my hair care regimen, I've seen a difference. I'd say yes, oh and I am African American.

Yes, I am African American and have used it without any residual effects. However, for my "hormonal" acne, I have not had a lot of success. Moving on to a 30% solution hoping for better results.

It looks amazing. I am a light skinned black woman and use it every day. I have also applied it to women darker than me and it looks amazing as well. Just build slowly until you get the look you want.

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!

Hello I'm African American. Yes the product works! I have using it for 2 months! My fine thin hair is growing in well and the shampoo dosen't strip my hair. However I do follow up with a deep condition and a leave in condition. My name is Evelyn and I'm on YouTube.. (MyNaturalMyChoice) Haven't made any videos in while, but soon I will return! I hope this helps.

I am from middle east. My skin is brown (not black). And yes I feel it does great job in Brightening my skin. I dont know how it will work in your country. In my country the weather is very hot (it reaches 45 degrees C in summer) which means it is not easy to get bright skin. To be honest i am happy with this product when i use it i get bright skin for the next 24 hours.

I am not African American, but I did use the Biota shampoo and serum and unfortunately, it did not work for me.

I can honestly tell you that it didnt do anything for me. I am hispanic, olive skin. I dont know where all the good reviews come from. I saw one that made it soynd asnifnit was going to really bleach your skin, thats either fake or a total exaggeration. Sorry, i so far havent found anything that really works.

I am african american :o) So yep it works for us! My daughter confirmed tonight my pores are definitely smaller. Of course, as with any new product, test it on a small patch of skin just to make sure it agrees with you. I hope you like it if you try it :o)
