Healthy Hair Products for Black Women
Another one of the essential healthy hair tips for black women? How to choose hair care products!
There are literally thousands of options available in terms of products you can use in your hair. I'm sure the question on your mind is 'How do I know which product is worth trying and if it's healthy for my hair?'
Here are the things to look for when you go shopping for products that are good for black hair.
Look for yes words on labels like hydrating, moisturizing, conditioning and strengthening. These are the things black and African American hair needs the most and where your focus should always be.
Stay away from hair drying ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and alcohol.
Look for natural ingredients like essential oils and herbs.
Avoid 'for professional use only' products unless you really understand the instructions and trust yourself to do them properly.
There'll always be exceptions to the rule, so sometimes you'll find a product that has 'bad stuff' in it that works well for you and another that has 'good stuff' that does absolutely nothing for your hair.
The key is to experiment and use your regimen notes to figure out what works.
