Try asking a doctor :]

they cant because it is different hair textures. well, im sure u can try them if u wanted to but i dont think ur gunna get any results different than if u were to use the products u normally use

Duh, look at African hair and then look at yours. It's completely different.

I think it's because people have different hair thicknesses and textures. Of course, there's nothing saying that you can't; people should use what works for them!

Some do. but we have very dry hair, and always need moisture.. white people hair tends to be oily and need to use products that don't have much moisture in it and will weigh their hair down alot

You could try hair mayo. Its great for dry hair.

use a standard hot oil treat ment and after care products for tinted or permed hair they are at the beuaty supply stores and ask a worker ther about it also if you know a beautician they will say the same thing

I'm no hair expert, but it seems like African American hair is generally pretty oily, even though it's brittle and thick. I imagine it would make your hair drier if you used it. I suggest using something for colored or heat damaged hair. Hope I helped!

African American hair needs alot of oil to protect it from the sun. Therefore any of those products would promote oil production. My friend's wife works in some kind of hair research and she tells me that shampoo strips away the outer membrane of your hair to let the nutrients in and you need to replace it by using conditioner. This is why people used to put egg or mayo in their hair. The protein builds that outer layer and promotes shine and strength.

I hear you seems to me that your hair is try all the time because from coloring day by week. that can dry it out making all your naturl oils in your hair go out of wake. I have curly hair too thats naturl. I think you need some condtion treatments in your hair to but back the oils you lots. You can always talk to the person that cuts your hair. they can give you some good tips from keeping your hair healthy and frizz free.

Good luck

I have naturally curly hair.I am over 40 and I let my hair go gray. A chemical straightener can tame frizz so that your hair is easier to style;I use Olgivie hair straightener,but would suggest that you go to a hair stylist if you can. Products made for Afircan American hair are also good,but stick to the no-lye brands like Gentle Treatment. Use moisturizing Shampoos and conditioners like those containing shea butter by Fredeic Fekkai. I also am going to give you the name of a book:Going Gray Looking Great by Diana Lewis Jewell. It has tips for people who dye their hair,too.I can't dye mine because I am allergic to dyes...but I look great!

I think you could try egg.

I am a hairdresser, and one awesome product is Sleek from Matrix. It is an orange bottle. It is so good you will never use another product again. I use the shampoo, conditioner and the wax polisher. The wax is great to use after you towel dry and style to smooth the frizz. Or use it in wet hair and let air dry. Remember the wax goes a long way. So does the conditioner, you will run out of the shampoo before the conditioner. Trust me you will love it.
Go to any Mastercuts salons and ask for it. They have buy one and get one half off sale going on through the end of May. Hurry!

i suggest VO5 hot oil treatment & other VO5 product it is for used by both races also try john freida frizz ease works great !!!!

Yes. I suggest you try Pantenes Relaxed and Natural Lines or Nuetrogena's Triple Moisture products. Most newer products for AA hair is very well formulated and provides moisture without weighing your hair down. Good luck.

I have natural hair and I personally like natural products. I love oils and my hair loves them too. My favs. are castor(thickens hair), jojoba(mimicks hairs natural oil), avocado, coconut(great for shine), sweet almond, rosemary(stimulates hair growth), peppermint(stimulates hair growth) and lavender. The last three i mentioned are called essential oils and should be mixed w/ a carrier oil ( oils that i mentioned before the eo's) if u want to use them.There are so many to choose from. Try some of them out.

Note: u don't have to put all oils named at once in ur hair.

I also love butters like shea, avocado, mango butter for stylin my hair in braids, twist, w/e. Give them a try also. Makes my hair so soft and gives good hold(like gel).

For shampoos I use dr. bronners castile soap. Its all natural. Some people like to dilute it with water but i don't.

For conditoners I use v05 cuz its cheap and my hair is thick so i don't have that kind of money to waste. It works well. I mix some oils in them to make it work even better. You could also try suave as well.

However, everyone's hair isn't the same so what might work for one might not work for another. Only u can determine what ur hair likes. Heck, maybe synthetic products might work better for u. IDK, hope this helps.

My one tip? Be sure that she does not wash baby girls' hair everyday! Our hair does not need to be washed as often as your hair does. Overwashing can have quite the opposite affect on our hair.

number one sometimes we can use the same products You need to describe the texture of the girls hair a little girls need water a grease when styling dont wash and comb out her hair everyday I use pantene and the leave in conditioner and detangler with my daughter african americans are surprised that it works in their hair. Besides her hair I see that you are using the words black and white pls teach that people are not colors and recongnize the culture and refer to us as African Americans. Esp with this generation I feel offended when I hear a Caucasion calling me black I quickly correct them. So in a loving way I just want to tell you to be careful in taking another culture on. I use to have a foster care lic and I would have to deal with it alot but you do have to be aware of it.

it's all hair. hers just happens to be more coarse and dryer than most people in that town. that's all.
now, because it is more coarse and dry there are some things mom can do to make hair more managable (what childs' hair IS managable? no matter what the ethnicity)
learn how to braid. her hair doesn't need shampooed every day and to keep it from going every which direction braids are helpful. when the braids start getting super fuzzy take them out, shampoo, towel dry, condition , blow dry. (rinsing,too, just like you normally would) if it is not blown out the scalp will try to hold on to every last bit of moisture when it is braided and it will STINK (personal experience); besides the fact that it will probably tangle more therefore be hard to comb/brush out. but this is when she's a child not baby.

first of all when she gets older DO NOT wash her hair every day or every other day. Black hair is very different and it will dry out. She needs to get acquainted with hair oils and other things. Go to a beauty shop that deals with black hair and they can give more in depth pointers and hair care tricks
