Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

there are lots of new organic and revolutionary products on the internet but these are not available on the high street. do you think these products should be displayed to a wider audience where you can touch and smell them and gain advice from black hair care specialists.



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

Probably. But i am not sure but I am pretty sure there probabaly somewhere.



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

Of course they should, how else will people know what is available.



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

yes sounds good as lots of people want natural products that work instead of harsh chemicals



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

Why not? There are modern and natural black people on the high street so why not hair products? Also why not ask a few black people in an opinion survey?



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

Are we talking about black hair or afro hair? If you are talking about afro hair I think you are right in that there should be a wider selection on sale in the high street. You should be able to get advice and touch etc before you buy. I have a friend who is Egyptian and she has the wildest afro hair and she has difficulty finding products and so sticks to her ancient family remedies.



I have black hair and don't even bother looking for products to make it shine etc. What ever is on offer (BOGOF) is good enough for me.



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

Without a doubt. Natural hair and beauty products should be available to all people, of all races, both online and on the high street, not just in specific shops, or in specific areas with a high content of afro-caribbean residents. Beauty advisers should be able to advise women and men of any race on the best products for them from Superdrug, to Boots to Lush to the Body Shop to places like Harrods, Selfridges and Harvey Nicks. That is how it should be. Sadly, I think we are a long way off.



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

What the hell are u talking about elle55407 " I am not black, but I assume these products aren't in the stores because there is not a great demand for them."



Obviously she hasnt got any black friends! Its not like we can jus go out with nothing on our hair!! - Damn. U really would cross the street if u seen me au natural - coz it is SCARY (Try Diana Ross dragged through a bush backwards)!!!



In answer to ur question... Yes, I do think there is a place for these products and services on the high street....



.........................................



Is it now elle.... well this is jus 4 u %26gt;



Ha!!



I do not have a complex - believe u me



Fact is - im not feeling how u say 'theres no demand' - if u do have black friends as u claim - u will know that 99% of us NEED hair products same way plants need light!! Therefore, there IS a demand!



What the asker is talking about is being able to walk into a store and seeing how they work with our type of hair, how good they smell etc... We cant all use hair gel designed for caucasians! And yes, some of us are interested in organic hair products too, which i have NEVER seen in a store!!



Go ask ur 'black friends' and see what they say...



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

where do you live, becasue in london there are lots of black hair shops around, that have most of the things that you can get on the internet



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

i have no idea what you are trying to say?? and what is high street??



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

Yes I do think there is a need for these products.I used to work in an afro hair salon and I found the organic products to be the best of all.The salon also had a retail side and I found the organic range of products used to sell like hot cakes.As mentioned in one of the previous answers if you live in london you should be able to find these products,if not then maybe you could go to a local salon to see if they would order a trial range of products for you and other customers to try.



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

yes but i thought this was catered fo now why not do door to door catologue like Avon friend s would pass them around you get orders



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

i think it's a great idea i've never been able to go and fetch these items i have to order on line



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

i live in manchester and a lot of place's sell hair products for black people...but i do think most big stores should sell these products



Do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?

Where on earth do you go to 'touch and smell' hair products?? I am not black, but I assume these products aren't in the stores because there is not a great demand for them. Most products in stores either have a big distributor or are in high demand and have already been test marketed. A lot of products start out on the internet, and when they can prove they have the $ale$ to back their claims, they will eventually get into the mainstream.



JUST FOR YOU In4nt Luv!!



Actually, I do have black friends. LOTS of them. Not that it's any of your F'N BEEZWAX!! But I don't buy BLACK HAIR PRODUCTS. Just like the asker probably doesn't buy FAKE TANNING PRODUCTS. DUH!!



My point being, I was not exactly sure of the product she was referring to. There are TONS of products I can only buy on-line that aren't available in stores. BECAUSE UNLESS THE PUBLIC STARTS DEMANDING THEM, THEY ARE NOT MARKETABLE ENOUGH FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC.



Sounds like you have a real complex, hon.



INSTA LUV



You are an IDIOT!! How many ORGANIC HAIR PRODUCTS do you see for whites?? I've seen maybe one that I can even think of. BECAUSE THERE IS NO DEMAND FOR ORGANIC HAIR PRODUCTS!! The question was, in case you didn't actually read it, "do you think there is a place for modern and natural black hair products on the high street?" She went on to mention all the organic products available on the internet. That's what I responded to. And HELLO!! There is NO DEMAND FOR ORGANIC HAIR PRODUCTS. Perhaps you should cruise the market and look for yourself.



And just to show how RACIST YOU ARE, perhaps we should ALL be able to test out the products first. Why should BLACKS have that privelege if no one else does?? Because GUESS WHAT?? Not all WHITES have the same type of hair, and not all gels work on all our hair the same way, either.



Perhaps you need to get your white friends and ask them yourself. If you HAVE ANY WHITE FRIENDS.



I DIDN'T SAY blacks don't need hair products. NOR DID I INFER there was no demand for black hair products. I SAID there was no demand for the ORGANIC BLACK HAIR PRODUCTS as this asker mentioned, or you would see them in stores.



Don't you understand English? Or do you have SUCH A CHIP on your shoulder, every comment to you must have an underlying racist remark??

Which hair care product makes your hair...?

Is it hair mousse? I've seen a lot of girls with straight hair apply something that makes it even straighter and smooth... but I'm not sure what it is. My friend told me it was "oil" but that sounds like a joke.



Which hair care product makes your hair...?

It is smoothing serum. I use it everyday. Rub a dime-sized amount through wet hair and blow dry straight with a brush. It makes your hair smooth, silky and shiny. Aveda is my favorite - Light Elements Smoothing Fluid.



Which hair care product makes your hair...?

smoothing serums, oils, specialised products - your local salon will be able to help you. If you have fine or oily hair then try avoid anything too oily or your hair will look greasy



Which hair care product makes your hair...?

its mousse



Which hair care product makes your hair...?

i use mousse in my hair every day it makes my hair less frizzy and it makes my hair smooth.



DO NOT PUT OIL IN YOUR HAIR!!



it will make your hair greasy and



it will take forever to get out!



Which hair care product makes your hair...?

Well this is how I get my hair straightened. I take a shower, and right after I turn off the faucet, I put in the John Freida Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Original Formula [step 3]. Then I blow dry my hair, then straighten it, then I put in this Tresemme anti-frizz secret Smoothing Cream. Both those products work really great on my hair to make it straight and smooth and frizz free. For the Tresemme one, just put a little bit on your hand, maybe just like, a little smaller than a dime. And for the John Frieda, put about a dime size.



Which hair care product makes your hair...?

Well to make my hair really shiny and smooth I first get out of the and towl dry it. Next, I take Farouk Biosilk Silk Therapy and put a dollap about the size of a quarter in my palms and run it throughout my hair. It really does make my hair smoother.



Some gels and leave-in conditioners can help damaged hair. But, as for the oil, I think that she might have been talking about a hot oil treatment.



Hope I helped.

What products and methods could I use to prepare for a hair perm pre-care and what can I use for aft

I decided to get a perm, but I want to be prepared for the damage it may inflict. Therefore, I think it would be best for me to start working towards the appointment I have with the hairdresser and get my hair into shape the best way I can. I have fine hair that is a few inches longer then shoulderlength. It gets regular trims and always gets washed with good shampoo, sometimes together with a conditioner.



Not only do I want to know what I could do before the perm, I also wanted to know what I could do and what products I can use after I got the perm. Which products or which methods you can use to take good care of the permed hair after the entire process is over.



I intend to get the perm within a few weeks, so there is still time. However, I want to be prepared.



What products and methods could I use to prepare for a hair perm pre-care and what can I use for aftercare?

ask your hairdresser if they could do a 24 hour perm this works on fine hair the best



a 24 hour perm does not use the neutralizer --- but by leaving the curling solution and rods on the hair for 24 hours --- so it can dry naturally



this sounds extreme but chemically the curling solution only works while it is dripping wet so after about 10 minutes it stops and the hair starts to neutralize by itself --- this perm is by far the best for fine hair --- i,ve done hundreds of them --



What products and methods could I use to prepare for a hair perm pre-care and what can I use for aftercare?

Important wash before the perm with normal shampoo nothing fancy. and don't wear conditioner those products will cause for the perm not to hold. And after it can cause it to go away faster. After the perm do not wash your hair for at least 2 days only wet it and there are alot of products for after perm

Hair care product to de-frizz for children??

Anyone have any suggestions for a good product for my twins, they have very fine blonde hair and it is constantly static straight up off their heads and tangled. The children's shampoos just aren't working at all with the conditioner built in.



Hair care product to de-frizz for children??

HERE HERE! Paul Mitchel no more tears products for infants is great stuff!!



Hair care product to de-frizz for children??

Try Johnsons no more tangles. It is for tangles, but is also good for eliminating the frizzies. Spray it on when wet, and a little when dry. It should help.



Hair care product to de-frizz for children??

i agree the childrens shampoo's and conditioners just don't work.maybe you should try john frieda's serum,it's a fantastic product.



Hair care product to de-frizz for children??

I use regular grown-up shampoo and conditioner when my child's hair goes crazy. I actually started using pantene deep conditioner on my son when he was about 4 or 5 months old because while sleeping on his back, he would rub his head against the mattress and wake up with frizzy tangled hair on the back of his head.



He doesn't have sensitive skin or anything like that so that's why I used the pantene on his hair. I checked with his pediatrician first, and she said it was fine.



Hope that helps!!



regards,



mari



Hair care product to de-frizz for children??

If they are still little and you are worried about shampoo in the eyes, then I would go with Suave for Kids. Use any one of the shampoos (they come with that built in conditioner), but buy the conditioner as well. It has worked very well with my kids' hair. I have 3 girls with all different types of hair. One is very thick and wavy, one is very thin, curly, and fine, and one is thin and straight. Until my oldest's hair got really long, I could use it on all 3, now I use a grown up conditioner on the oldest to cut back on the amount of conditioner that I use.



If they are old enough that you don't need no more tears, then just buy Suave Shampoo and Conditioner for adults. It comes in many different scents (the kids love that) and it doesn't cost so much that you feel bad spending it on the kids.



Good Luck

P.S. I'm african american with a little mixed hertiage so will this product also work on ethinc hair?(my bad if my spelling is off) :p



Hi! can any 1 tell me the difference between these 3 products. I had dark reddish brown hair with a wavyish..?

it doesn't look like any of those are for lightening hair.



Hi! can any 1 tell me the difference between these 3 products. I had dark reddish brown hair with a wavyish..?

African American hair care help please :(?

Truth is, I dont know how to take care of it. My mom is filipino and my dad and brother dont know anything about relaxed hair.



I just got my hair relaxed the other day. My stylist said I shouldnt use Pantene Pro-V in my hair because it might be the reason why my scalp was always dry/hair falling out. I dont know what stuff to put in my hair to keep it from drying either.. So...



What type of shampoo/hair products should I use that I can easily find at the store like at Walmart? :\ Stuff at the salon is too expensive..



How often should I wash my hair? I see people say a week/2 weeks but usually my hair would start to smell funny by the 2nd or 3rd day and its gross.



How do I keep my hair straight after I wash it?



Help pleaaaseeee ;(



African American hair care help please :(?

hmm if your mother is fillipino than you should have curly hair right?always grease your scalp to stop the dryness wash your hair with cream of nature you can find it at your local ethnic hair store i'm not sure if there is a bunnies where you live but that's what i use (i'm also half black)if i were you i would just straighten it with a maxi glide it works very well and last a long time you should try hot 6 oil i use it all of the time you can heat it up than put it in your hair and leave it in with a special cap and it moisturizes it alot.



oh and do not wash your hair so much it will strip your hair of natural oils and vitamans



African American hair care help please :(?

First of all, my stylist told me that Pantene Pro V sucks. I recommend Biolage(sort of expensive) or Tresseme. If you are putting things like grease, gel, mousse, etc. you should wash it more often. You maybe should wash it 2 or 3 times a wee.



African American hair care help please :(?

dove shampoo + conditioner. it worked for me



African American hair care help please :(?

You can find Tresemme %26amp; cream of nature at walmart. It may take some experimenting to find out what works best. Look for something that is moisturizing, both the shampoo %26amp; conditioner. If you've had your hair relaxed, IMO try motions. The conditioner works on any type of hair.



Good luck!



African American hair care help please :(?

Well in that case wash your hair every 4-5 days. As for shampoo I suggest Motions or Dr. Miracles.



You may have an urge to over wash your hair, but don't. To remove the not-so-fresh feeling in between your shampoos, try a no-H2O-necessary shampoo like Klorane Oat Extract Dry Shampoo.



Just run a dime-sized amount through your hair and you will be left with fresh-smelling, clean strands.



Since you aren't washing your hair as often, you may notice your scalp will get a bit itchy. Please, resist the urge to scratch.



You can cut the skin which will invite in an assortment of bacteria.



Relieve the itch by swiping your scalp with an astringent-soaked cotton ball or pad.



If you are finding the time between washings long and you are constantly combating ho-hum hair, give it volume by braiding it into large sections at night.



In the morning, unbraid it, spray the roots with a flexible holding spray and finger-tousle your tresses.

What do you think about Burt's Bees Hair and Skin Care products? Any favorites in particular??

I'm a Burt's Bees ADDICT! lol, I own tons of their products.



Lip Shimmers- These have a minty smell and leave your lips tingly with a shimmery color! I love them! The best colors are Nutmeg, Watermelon, Rhubarb, and Radiance. Stay away from the cocoa color though.



Lip Balms-



The medicated one healed my chapped lips in 3 days, with a minty tingle!



The Replenishing lip balm with cranberry oil gets in your mouth easily and then tastes awful though. It adds a glossy pinky color though.



The beeswax lip balm makes your lips tingle and feel fantastic.



The honey lip balm smells like honey alot and moisturizes your lips very well.



Lip Glosses- The lemon lime one smells FANTASTIC! Their good for your lips, too!



Face washes- I use the Garden Tomato Complexion Soap along with the Garden Tomato Toner. It leaves my skin fabulous and I haven't had a pimple for a while since I started using these products!



The garden tomato soap and toner are formulated for oily skin. They have a wild lettuce soap for dry skin.



Face mask- Their Pore refining mask is SO REFRESHING! Pretty pricey, but it makes your pores VANISH! It makes your face tingle and GLOWEY!



Toners- They have one for dry skin and one for oily skin. The one I use is Garden Tomato Toner for Oily Skin. It smells good and leaves my skin feeling tingly!



Body Washes- I have used the Citrus %26amp; Ginger Root Body Wash and Peppermint Shower Soap. The Citrus one smells amazing and refreshes your skin. I like how it lathers really well.



The Peppermint Shower Soap smells SO REFRESHING and really wakes up your skin. I love how it scrubs well and the smell is amazingly refreshing. It makes your skin tingle in the shower! If you have sensitive skin though, don't use it because it feels a little scratchy.



Body Lotions- I have used the Naturally Nourishing Milk %26amp; Honey Body Lotion and the Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey %26amp; Orange Wax Body Lotion. Both smell great and are about pretty average.



I slather them on at night and go to bed smelling sweet, like honey. They moisturize pretty well and are Average body lotions.



Hand Moisturizers- I have the Almond Milk Hand Creme, the Beeswax %26amp; Banana Hand Creme, Hand Salve, and Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme.



The Almond Milk Hand Creme smells really good, kind of like cherries. It moisturizes your hands well but it leaves my hands kind of sticky.



The Beeswax %26amp; Banana Hand Creme smells AWESOME, like banana cream pie. I just wanna eat it, it smells soooo good. It moisturizes really well.



Hand Salve is really oily and greasy. I didn't like it because it's so greasy and the lid doesn't stay on the tin! The smell isn't too great, either.



Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme is the best hand creme I have used. Use only a LITTLE BIT though because its easy to squirt too much. It smells very strongly of herbs. My sister thought it smelled like pine-sol.



Foot Cremes- I have the Coconut Foot Creme, Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey %26amp; Bilberry Foot Creme, and Peppermint Foot Lotion.



The coconut foot creme feels a little waxy and silky at the same time. You're supposed to only use it under socks because if you go barefoot with it, it'll get all over the carpet. It leaves your feet smooth and silky!



The Honey Foot Creme smells alot like Honey. It leaves your feet moisturized and soft. I love it! It's perfect for foot massages.



The peppermint foot lotion literally leaves your feet GLOWING and tingly all over. I love it!



Overall, my favorite products are:



Garden Tomato Complexion Soap



Garden Tomato Toner



Watermelon, Nutmeg, Rhubarb, and Radiance Lip Shimmers



Lemon Lime Lip Gloss



Peppermint Shower Soap



Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme



Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey %26amp; Bilberry Foot Creme



There ya go! Hope I helped!



What do you think about Burt's Bees Hair and Skin Care products? Any favorites in particular??

Sure! I would like to know how it turns out for you. I won't be able to try it for myself because the ingredients in most shampoos and conditioners irritate my scalp, so I strictly use a baking-soda based shampoo which means I can't try all those others :( Report It



What do you think about Burt's Bees Hair and Skin Care products? Any favorites in particular??

I love Burt's Bees! My favorite is just their plain old chap stick. It's got that minty feeling and ahhh I love it! I haven't tried many of their other things, but I know I like their tinted chap sticks too.



What do you think about Burt's Bees Hair and Skin Care products? Any favorites in particular??

The only thing I use and love is their lemon cuticle cream.



What do you think about Burt's Bees Hair and Skin Care products? Any favorites in particular??

i've tried these products to me they were just average, favorites would be aveda skincare and paul mitchell hair care they have some fairly new products that rock.(SUPER SKINNY SERUM, HEAVENLY, ROUND TRIP A CURLY HAIR GIRLS LIFE SAVER)



What do you think about Burt's Bees Hair and Skin Care products? Any favorites in particular??

It is one of my favorite lines for hand salve and lip balm. I highly recommend both. I haven't tried any of the other products.



What do you think about Burt's Bees Hair and Skin Care products? Any favorites in particular??

Their skin care line is amazing and it worked wonders for my skin. I've used several of their face washes and blemish sticks. I love the raspberry complexion mist. It really helped to clear my skin up.



I also like all of their chapsticks/lipbalms.



The lemon cuticle cream smells delicious, as does the banana hand cream. Almond Butter %26amp; Milk lotions are wonderful smelling also. Plus they make you hands feel nice and smooth. I've used their coconut foot cream for dry, cracking heels and it restored them within days.



I've used a lot of their products and I haven't been dissapointed with any of them (Except the Carrot Nuritive Body Lotion, the smell makes me wanna puke). All my friends love them too. For Christmas I make sure to buy plenty of Burt's Bees Gift Baskets.
