How well does this product work on African American or black women's hair?

Fragile relaxed hair, not so good. Raw, kinky, natural hair... Ideal. Use tons of protective products with anything, the more leave in stuff you use and layer, the closer you get to a keratin like treatment without the issues of the chemicals. I used this before i relaxed my hair, with 6 months of new growth, and this is best used to the new growth stuff.... At least 1-2 inches, or more...

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

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!

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.

Yes, it works on any type of hair I promise, I have friends here that use it and they are of Mexican, Spanish, and Dark skin types. :)

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 it does help on african American hair, I have pretty similar to african American hair because my hair is thick, coarse, and dry, and it helped me for about 5 to 6 months, also is the frequency that you wash your hair with that will determine whether or nother it lasts you or not. By the way I suggest getting 2 sets instead of one because even though it is plenty it wasnot enough for me because my hair absorbs fast and I have a lot of hair

I think it was originally created for African American hair, but it works great on my extremely fine, thick, naturally wavy, very dry Caucasian hair. I'd get the moisturizing conditioner to go with it. I think it works as well as Bumble & Bumble Invisible Oil shampoo and conditioner, and it's a whole lot less expensive. Hope that helps.

It does and I love it but I would say for the price dove conditioner achieves the same if not better for African American hair. I use the dove and go under the dryer for 15mins and and then washn it out and my hairbis as silky and soft as ever. I love it

I think would work on all hair...one granddaughter has African American hair and one just American hair...if you mean super curly vs. mostly very straight!

Do you mean black women? I am buying this product for one, and have no doubt it will work. We all have just about the same genetic structure make up in our bodies. I can see certain oils and shampoos working better on black vs white humans, but have no doubt a supplement works the same on both types.

My daughter is biracial (Half black, half white) with wild, curly hair. This works on her hair just fine. It is a little more tricky getting them out, though...they sometimes take a few strands of hair with them. But that's really no big deal, we just take them out slowly and carefully. I imagine it would work on pretty much any hair type.

It doesn't matter what color hair you have but I presume you mean if it cuts African-American hair, correct? If so, I wouldn't see why not but I have never used it on someone other than my family and we are mixed but mainly caucasian. Maybe someone can give you a better answer as I'm probably of no help =)

I think this product is the best. I am African American, and I have very thick/long/coarse hair. I use after I wash my hair (put a plastic cap on) and sit under the hairdryer. I leave it on overnight. Works great!

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 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)

I'm African American and I LOVE this flat iron. I can get my hair very straight, or give it a bit of a bump and curl. I turn the temp down a bit because it runs very hot; but it works very well.
