You used to need chemicals for African American skin and hair, but now there are natural products that serve the same purpose. Selecting the right products for your hair will allow you to show off your sheen.

If you want to find the best products for African American hair, you’ll discover that there are more brands available now than there used to be. The correct techniques and products will make it easier to care for your hair. Since your hair may be more brittle and dry than some other types, you need to be more careful in selecting brands that will work for you.

There are more than a few hair care products that have been formulated to meet the unique needs of African American hair. Some of the products that will care the best for your hair are made from natural ingredients, that will help improve your hair’s texture, increase growth and provide a balance in moisture and a healthy scalp. These are all necessary to give you beautiful hair.

The first step in working your way to great-looking hair is to find shampoos that are suitable for African American hair. They should clean your hair gently, without harsh sulfates or any chemicals that might strip your hair, leading to dryness and breakage. Check out shampoos that will aid in moisturizing, and restoring damaged or dry hair. These products are usually also able to work as a detangler, which is a plus, if you have coarse and unmanageable hair.

Be sure to use a proper conditioner on your hair, after shampooing. Dry hair needs to be moisturized, above all. Rather than using products that might dry your hair, like mousse, select leave in conditioners and moisturizers, and styling lotions that won’t dry out your hair. Good conditioners should contain proteins that will strengthen your hair and protect it from chemical damage.

African American hair may need to be regularly oiled, in order that you can tame and smooth dry, unmanageable hair. Coconut oil and rosemary will moisturize and promote the growth of hair. Don’t use petroleum-based products or mineral oils. These may look like they give moisture, but actually they clog the hair shafts and prevent new growth.

Your proper black hair care regimen is not all about high-grade products from salons, but also about all the tools you may use in styling your hair.  African American hair benefits from quality combs and brushes. Be sure to include a natural brush or a wide toothed comb to detangle your hair.

Some ingredients should be avoided if you want to keep your hair healthy. Polyethylene Glycol and Isopropyl Alcohol will strip your hair of moisture, leaving it frizzy and dry. Propylene Glycol will break down the proteins and the cellular structure of your hair. Also be sure to stay away from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which can cause scalp and skin irritation, and strip moisture from your hair.

When looking for African American hair care products, natural products for your hair are always better than those with an overwhelming amount of chemicals.
