Can a black woman use this perm?

Yep, I'm a black woman and this is all that I use on myself and 3 girls. I love it and it works great. You don't need resistant, use mild or normal.

I am black and it works wonders. I also use African shea butter and it makes the perm last longer between touch ups.

Absolutely. It's the best product for our hair. I would suggest buying smaller batches vs the larger one bit for personal use. Smaller versions are fresher. I've been using Avalon since the early 90s. You won't regret it. Attempt to apply and cut by 5min the first time to allow your texture to show strength. 100% recommended. Hope this helps.

Yes! I love this relaxer and use it to straighten my 4a type hair. I am a black woman, and I have used this relaxer for almost 2 years now. I feel that, when used properly, it straightens my hair without weakening it too much. I use the MILD and leave it on for 18-20 min. Works great!

No brahmi it is not for black hair only. however, it may cause the color of your hair to darken. If you do not want that to happen this may not be the product for you. Women use this product for premature graying, to strengthen their hair roots and clear away dandruff.

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!

Absolutely! I am African American and I use it daily. Just be patient it does work but you won't notice an instant difference but you will see a difference over time.

Yes. I have thick hair but find a lot now in my tub. I've used this perm for 15+ years and have had no problems. This is NOT a home perm and should be always used by a professional. I buy the perm here and take it with me.

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!

Although I am not African American, I believe it will work well on it. My wife had it on high at first. She turned it down about 2/3 the way and it still straightened her hair nicely. Her hair is medium thickness and pretty curly. I think 3/4 on the heat would do for African American hair. I hope I helped you. Christine

Yes, I'm a dark skin woman it works well for me, with any skin tone, you will have to make sure you put it in an area where you can hide the tape with your hair, I like it because it stays in place

Yes, women can use it. I'm a woman and the dermatologist that I saw for hair loss recommended that I get the 5%. He didn't think that the 2% that is marketed for women did much of anything. Good luck with whichever one you purchase.

Very very permanent ... It MUST grow out before you try to put any lighter color on your hair. You absolutely should not try to bleach over this. If you want to have black hair forever use this... If you want a change in 6 months... Don't buy this... They have a semi perm option that is a gel.

I haven't a clue. I haven't used it yet. I have friends of African descent, but we don't discuss hair.

No I am not African American. The shampoo didn't work for me. Perhaps I didn't give it enough time to work. You should try it and see if it works for you.

Honestly I'm not sure I would leave mine in for 15 mins 30 max. What type of hair do you have and what ethic are you ? I think this is mainly for black people's hair.

Good Question. I am not sure about this product for african american hair. I know that it works awesome for my hair. I am Native American.

Its really thick. If you are african american I could see you using it to smooth edges. I would think you would want to use it to make a hair product vs using it directly on hair.
