Question 1

Does this work on african american hair care?

Accepted Answer

I have 4C African American hair. It was very damaged with lots of split ends. I used the damage erasing balm the last time I washed my hair and it came out really nice! I had left it on for about 30 minutes with a shower cap. Today I used the Total Repair shampoo followed by the damage erasing balm. I only left the balm on for about 5 minutes in the shower.  The 2 products together were amazing. Although I had the normal shrinkage, with the shampoo and balm, my hair just looked like unraveled ropes when I stepped out of the shower. Normally it shrinks up like a sponge when it's wet. I put the Total Repair balm on while I was in the shower and combed it through with my fingers and then a wide toothed comb. I could tell my hair wasn't shrinking up as much as usual. I used about 1/2 of the jar for my jaw length hair.  After I rinsed it out, I combed it again but there were no tangles. It really looked like a rope mop and was soft, silky and SHINY-sweet! I made 4 plaits in front and 4 in back. Then I used a bead of Pantene ProV Breajage Defense Strengthening Lotion and 1-2 drops of Avlon Silk n Silk serum to blow dry each plaited section. It took mere seconds to dry each section using the Silverbird dryer with comb attachment. There was NO hair- zero hair in the wide toothed comb or the dryer comb. WHAT?!! I think I'll have to stock up too :-)

Question 2

How often do you use it?

Accepted Answer

You should not use it more than once a week. Too much protein and/or moisture can actually damage your hair and make it worse in the long run

Question 3

How do you use it?  Does it go on dry?

Accepted Answer

Its like conditioner, you can put it on dry hair (saturate hair completely), I combed it thru, leave on for 5 or 10 minutes and rinse, or after shampoo (leave on few minutes and rinse)

Question 4

before getting in shower, can I wet my dirty hair put this in on my hair leave in for 30 min, then get in shower rinse shampoo and use my condioner?

Accepted Answer

That’s called pre-pooing, you can condition before and after wash, how often you should do that depends on your hair type in texture. Personally I buy a cheap shampoo to pre-poo with then I use my better conditioner after.
