Does it work well on African american hair?

Honestly it was too much heat to apply to my real hair. I only used it on my weave when I had a sew in. It can get really hot & I couldn't risk damaging my hair.

In terms of how well/easily it straightens the hair, I think the iron does a pretty good job...but because it is a bit bulky maybe it would be harder to "maneuver" it closer to the root (my hair starts to curl about 2-3 inches from the root, so I would not be able to say for sure). If you are good at handling a flat iron, this should not be a problem :)

I'm Hispanic , but my little sister is partially African American and has that hair and she likes the way it works on her hair because it's the only straightener she has used that actually straightens her hair . So yes I do believe it does .

Well, it goes up to 450 degrees that is one of the hottest ones out there. I have thick curly hair, and it works perfect. I got the 2 inch one and great and I have tried a lot of flat irons and so far this one is great!

I am not African American --- but I would think this product would work on any kind of hair. It gives your hair a shiny finish. Doesn't alter the color or texture of your hair. The price is good. It will not ruin your natural hair. I have used this for years. Good luck!

I use it at least twice a week on my edges. I'm not always consistent but I believe along with my hair care regimen, I've seen a difference. I'd say yes, oh and I am African American.

Yes, I am African American. I just used it for the first time...I love it. It feels great in my hand and leaves my hair silky soft. I would suggest the one with the digital screen and heat dials, so you can adjust the heat setting. Purchase the Argan oil to go with it too, cuz you only get a sample with the flat iron.

Yes it works on all hair types and for all ethnic groups. You may find that you will not be able to use the shampoo daily. Use as often as you can for best results

Well some may beg to differ about my hair being African American. I am black with loose curls. It worked miracles on my hair! I only use the spray. I also put a lot if extra moisture in my hair at night. This product is a little drying . It is definitely worth going to the Aveda store for a sample.

I'm of Irish/Scottish descent. My hair was getting really frizzy because I have a lot more grayhair now. I LOVE this product. I'd given up on having shiny hair again. This really works. So,I don't know about African American hair, but I think it's worth a try!

Yes but you only need a little. Works well on my oldest daughters hair, she is biracial with fine hair 3A hair. I apply directly after washing her hair, or to her tips if they seem dry.

This conditioner makes my hair feel very soft and I am African-American. It works on both relaxed and natural hair.

Yes. It should work on all hair. If your hair is coarse or dark you should use the regular, not the light product.

I use it on my curly hair. I dont think it cares what color the skin or hair is!

I'm afraid not because the diameter and texture of your hair is probably too thick. But if you would like to try it anyway, have a consultation at a salon that uses this product and see what they say. I personally have not used on anybody that has African American hair, so I can't really help you.

I don't know about African American hair, but I had no trouble except for the final foam I was using to much and my scalp started breaking out. I learned how to use it the right way and have started it again with no problems. I stopped for about 2 months and had no problem with hair falling out.

Yes it has. I really like the product too. You won't have results in the blink of an eye but give it like two weeks. I'm African American and I apply it to the bald spot, rub in a circular motion for a few minutes and brush with a hard boar hair brush (I think that's the specific name of the brush) to stimulate my scalp. I hope this help ;-)

I'm african american with curly 4a 4b hair. Whenever I used this it was on straight hair and it worked fine. I don't think I would dare use it on in stretched hair.
