Does anyone know if this shampoo is good for ethnic hair? I have long, thick, and curly hair. Thank you!

I would think so--it contain "keratin" which is found in ALL human hair--no matter what your ethnicity! HTH you in your decision.

My ethnic hair is relaxed and I LOVE it - my stylist uses it on both my child who is natural and myself. I prefer only the shampoo and 'rinse out' conditioner [I don't care, however, for the leave-in conditioner]. As an aside, I like the Agadir oil prior to blow drying and the spray after flat ironing :)

Ok that shampoo is not that thick. I have very long hair and use about a 50 cent size dollop in my hand. But your hair must really be wet for it so suds up and remember to shake the bottle. The smell is a little clinical but it doesn't bother me as I look for stuff that has no real big fragrance.

Yes, I have 'old' grey hair. I'm African Amercan w/natural hair. Since using this shampoo, I've noticed my roots in the crown seem to be darker. I had considerable hair loss due to a medical issue (thyroid) and dermatologist instructed me to stop relaxing, coloring and using heat. Hair was breaking/shedding and very brittle prior to using this shampoo. I'm very pleased with the results--hair is much healthier and manageable. It's very concentrated, so a little goes a long way.

Hi Danielle! I have natural African Anerican hair and it works great! Also try to use the system that fits the thickness of your hair!

Excellent for all of the above. You should also get the styling cream, very emollient, but not greasy. Hope this helped!! Chrissy, there is one specifically for thick curly hair(styling cream), in case you didn't see it.

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.

Hi Goybabe, I love WEN. I have short, naturally curly hair and it has a tendency to dry out. I use only the shampoo/conditioner. I use a good amount and massage it in really well, then let it set for about 3 minutes, then rinse well. You will love it! I guess if you have long hair, you should use a large tooth comb to be sure it is delivered to all of your hair.

This shampoo doesn't really enhance your curls. It does make them more manageable and shiny. Try Aveda Be Curly Shampoo if you want massive curls. Aveda also carries other products for curly hair that seem to be organic.

I am Dutch/Irish mostly and have dark blonde 2b/c hair. I find it too heavy for it's intended use, but as a co wash it's excellent. I use it on my blonde 3a/b toddler as a co wash as well and it really helps moisturize and define her curls too. I haven't tried their other products yet but I was glad to find that this one worked even if not as intended. :D

Hi Cynthia, I have tried nexus and many other salon brands, my sister told me about Iden shampoo and conditioner and how much she loves it. Her hair is thick and dry. Mine is fine and gets frizzy sometimes, so I tried it and I absolutely love it. I also bought it for my son who has really thick curls and it helps keep is hair more manageable.

Yes. I truly love this product and won't give it up. I discovered that several of my employees ( I'm a store manager in a mall) use it as well. We all have different hair types from long fine thin hair (me) to thick wavy hair and African American hair and it works for all of us. It won't weigh your hair down and it's the only product I need. I wash and straighten with a flat iron daily. It's worth it!

You are welcome. I also wanted to tell you that I use a line of products called Shea Moisture which I find at CVS and Walgreen's. I use the shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner. It was developed by a woman from Sierra Leone and her granddaughters have continued the product. I am pretty sure it was developed for biracial/mixed hair. I wouldn't use any other shampoo or conditioner as this really moisturizes my hair without weighing it down. Hope this helps.

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

Yes, it is good for AA hair. I have natural thick hair and I love this shampoo and conditioner (I just don't love the price). I tried One n' Only Argan Shampoo/Condition but I did not like that product for my hair. So I gave it (one n' only) to my daughter and now I buying this again because I know it works!

My personal input..I really love this brush it really is great for the scalp and doesn't tangle the hair..I would brush it well before I shampoo and during the cleaning I think this would help a great deal.And use some coconut oil great for that as well.Hope this helps!

Hi, I use Mizani products will it alter the preformance of the Affirm? If not using the affirm shampoo , what other shampoo can I use so the product reallypenetrates the hair shaft?

I guess so, but I will stay away from it. I have thick, curly hair and it did nothing for me. Did not like the smell, texture etc. There are much better products on Amazon than this so save your money.
