Top Ranking of African American Hair Care Products

Posted: Jul 05, 2007 | Views: 6,210 | Bookmark and Share

Okay, so your hair is fried and you are tired of using drugstore hair care products and desperately want healthier hair. Well, you can have it, but you are going to have to buy a higher grade of hair care product. Some of the best products on the market for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair are Ojon, John Frieda, Redken, Carol’s Daugther, & Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead™ hair care products. When it comes to salon quality products, this is how the rankings break down by ethnicity.

Caucasian & European Hair Type: Redken, Paul Mitchell, Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead™ Max Moisture & Gro System
African American: Carol’s Daugther, Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead™ Silky Smooth, Ojon
Black European and Asian Hair: Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead™, RedKen, TIGI
Hispanic & Bi-Racial Hair: Ojon, Tigi, Paul Mitchell, Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead™ Silky Smooth (non-ethnic)

As you can see, your hair care product of choice depends on your hair type, which was determined while you were still in your mother’s womb. I have supplied several of my stylists with each of the above brands for my hair boutiques in the United Kingdom, United States, Scandinavia, & Japan at one time or another. It would take to long to tackle each product, so I have dedicated this article to African American hair care. Here is the down low on the top three products for African American hair.

If you are not particular about a product being all-natural, and have a dry scalp that can absorb lots of beeswax, butters, and heavy oils, then try Carol’s Daughter is the best choice, especially her Hair Milk, Mimosa Hair Honey, Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner, and Rosemary Mint Herbal Shampoo for Dry Hair. The major complaint of Carol’s Daughter products is that they contain strong fragrances that can trigger your allergies if you have a sensitive nose, asthma, or fragrance headaches. Also, some of her products are heavy and greasy, but Carol's Daughter herself will tell you that her products are not meant for everyone! Again, they are also not all-natural, depending on the product. You can find these products at sephora or at the online website.

A slightly better alternative is to opt for Ojon. Ojon products are decent and will not leave your hair dry. They work great for people with straight, long, and fine hair and are nice on multiethnic hair. Ojon is available online.

Beauty 4 Ashes™, however, is usable by any hair type because, instead of trying to make on product that would be great for everyone, they produce two lines of GodHead™ products--- for ethnic and non-ethnic hair. Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead™ ethnic hair care products are great for black men and women who have natural hair or tighter curl patterns. They also work well on chemically treated hair and thick hair that is starting to thin. Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead™ Silky Smooth system and Max Gro System are 100% all natural and do not contain any sulfates or parabens. They are full of so many herbs and oils, yet is not too heavy. You can find their products at wwwdiscoverb4acom

If you have African American hair, remember that your hair needs moisture. Do not let anyone tell you different. By switching to higher quality products, your hair won’t be greasy, it actually will be moisturized. Here are some good rules of thumb to stick with when making your next purchase:

1. All-natural products are superior

2.Look at ingredients, if the product contains parabens, which can lead to cancer, Just Say No.

3. Price does not make the poduct. Always look for quality ingredients like Shea, Jojoba, Oil, Sunflower, Castor, etc…

4. Do not over process your hair with excess heat, straightening combs, and super hot blow dryers.

    You are probably looking at the heading and thinking to yourself why. Why should I show gratitude when I am struggling to pay my mortgage, not sure if my job is secure and generally my life sucks? The answer is simple! Because today, we have more to be grateful for than at any other time. But we have lost the ability to recognise this fact. We have so much more in the way of material things these days, yet only seem to focus on the things we don´t have.

    To be an employee with no drive or instinct for self improvement is a mindset that many fall into. I call it "the nanny state", people wanting to be taken care of instead of our countries citizens fighting to take care of themselves and provide for their own futures.
