Black Hair Products

Black Hair ProductsAfro textured hair is quite fragile and sensitive to harsh treatment. That’s why it’s important to treat it well. Natural products can help keep black hair soft and moisturized. Knowing which ingredients to use and which to avoid will help you have healthy hair that will not be prone to breakage.

There ar many products that contain synthetic ingredients. These ingredients may make your hair appear healthier temporarily while they damage your tresses.

Petroleum products ar found in many hair products, especially products made specifically for black hair. Mineral oil is a petroleum byproduct that is also used in many black hair products. These ingredients ar used because they add shine and luster to your tresses making them look like they ar well moisturized. In reality though, these ingredients coat the hair and scalp and really prevent the hair from absorbing moisture. As you use more petroleum products on your hair it will become more and more dry and brittle.

Hair Movie

Hair MovieBlack women, ar you presently chemically relaxing your hair? Has your hair stopped growing or breakage off? Learn why so many Black women ar going the alternative route – NATURAL!

1. Chemicals ar harsh to your hair

A chemic relaxer actually breaks down your hair. Although, it may look that your hair is benefiting from chemic treatments, at the end, it’s slowly destroying it – permanently. Unfortunately, some people NEVER grow their hair back after 15 years of using relaxers. They are now wearing hair pieces or wigs. A good movie to watch, if you haven’t yet, is “Good Hair” by Chris Rock. This movie actually demonstrate the process of chemical relaxers to pop cans. It is an eye opener.

2. There is more versatility

With natural hair, you can actually have straight hair, temporarily for a week or two. Or if you are going to cram for finals, you can always put braids in your hair and leave it in their for a month. Or if you’re looking to style it up, try twists. Or you can do a wash n’ go, an afro or an afro puff. With chemically relaxed hair, it’s a lot harder to pull off these styles because with natural hair the curls mold these styles. With a chemic relaxer, their is no curl to mold and hold these styles in place.
