Does this work on African American Hair?

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 not sure. My hair is vey thick and it didn't work well and it damaged my hair. Hope this helps. I get the brazikian keratin of maevans but haven't been able to get it through amazon.

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!

Yes, it will work on any skin tone, both African American and Caucasian who want to add color, and yet it varies dependent on the individual. It is well worth the investment. I don't think you will be sorry if you decide to try it.

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 =)

No unfortunately it doesn't. I used this on my daughters hair and it damaged her hair....now I have to cut her hair.

No. In the instructions, I think it says it won't work on blonde hair. Also, from my own personal experience, it works well on darker hair and not really at all on blonde hair. It needs the pigmentation to absorb the light to travel to the root/hair follicle.

I'm going to try and answer this the best I can for you. I don't have African American hair, but its kinda dark, like a light brown. Some colors did show up. But I found that if you wet the white one a little and out it as a base, the colors show up great. Hope this helps:)

I believe you can use it on dark brown hair. I used it on Afro dark/gray hair and it gave me a perfect bleach.

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.

Good Question. I am not sure about this product for african american hair. I know that it works awesome for my hair. I am Native American.

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.

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

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 don't know what you mean by "African American hair". I am Egyptian, therefore American-African or African American to use the term imposed by European-Americans. I have friends who are American-Africans and none of us have "dry, brittle African American hair" as a standard. Since all types of human hair is composed of the same substance, is your question does this product work for dry and brittle hair.(PERIOD). If yes, I would guess that the answer to your question may be determined by what is causing your hair to be "dry, brittle".

I think it would be PERFECT for African American hair! I love it on my white bread hair, but the stuff is simply GREAT and it seeps in to the hair shaft in minutes so I say yes! Your hair should soak it right up!

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...
