I have heard that you can use this to detangle really kinky African American hair. Is this true?

Yes it does. The steam softens the hair and allows for a pain free de tangling session. Also freshes curls

It has been for me, my hair is type 4. I use this and can even use the prongs to detangle instead of a comb.

If you apply a conditioner like suave and use the steamer, it will detangle your hair

No, and you wouldn't want it to! My hair is to my shoulders and layered. I roll my hair up on the barrel and turn the heat to high, then to cool and the style is set. I've used the ones that spin and I've never been able to use them without getting my hair all tangled up.

There's nothing in it that would be bad for African American hair. Depending on how dry & frizzy your hair is, it might be best to use it as a leave in product. Start with just a drop or two, working from the ends up the shaft, then add more if needed.

Yes. It will soften and gently de tangle it. It's a great leave in conditioner for hair of Black ethnicity.

Im African American also and I use it on my natural hair and I don't have a problem. .. but I do spray it then let it sit before I flat iron it.

It will tangle until you get the hang of it. Use small sections of hair and make sure it is brushed out before using and you will be fine!

I think would work on all hair...one granddaughter has African American hair and one just American hair...if you mean super curly vs. mostly very straight!

Yes. I have natural 4C African American hair and I think this is personally a great product to have in my arsenal. When you are transitioning through those stages it can be really hard to keep your hair moisturized but I use it daily, and extra on wash day. I also add it to my homemade hair masks that I like to do a couple times a week.

It should work just fine. My daughter has VERY coarse hair that gets tangled easily and frequently. I used it on her hair and it came out kindof Hawaiian wavy. Now, no more tears or crying when I do her hair. I did not keep the product on for very long and I definitely didn't smooth it, and yet it worked beautifully.

Hello I'm African American. Yes the product works! I have using it for 2 months! My fine thin hair is growing in well and the shampoo dosen't strip my hair. However I do follow up with a deep condition and a leave in condition. My name is Evelyn and I'm on YouTube.. (MyNaturalMyChoice) Haven't made any videos in while, but soon I will return! I hope this helps.

I can only speak for my experience, but I didnt know how to use this product. I tried it for a wash-n-go but I didn't like the results. I can't say that it will curl your hair but I can't say that it won't either.

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!

No, this product is far too strong and damaging on African-American hair!The other 3 answers that disagree are from 1. Someone whose used it ONCE. 2. Someone who is mixed, which normally gives u a different texture of hair. And lastly Someone who not only responded they "think it could" but gave this item a 2 star review.Purchased it and initially fell in love... it's been 3 months and my hair is fried. I had strong, healthy, natural hair after cutting it over a year ago. After switching to this flat iron my hair is so damaged I'll probably have to cut it again.

I don't know if this product is for African-American hair. I purchased this at an Asian owned store. I would look into it online but I don't know why it would not work. I also use the shampoo and Minoxidil.

itll be tricky, i dont recommend it. better for straightening hair. a slight bend on the tips maybe, no full turned curls, its shaped to weird for that.

I think it is marketed for wet hair - to detangle after shampooing, but it does not mean you cannot use on dry hair - I do sometimes, although I have another brush I prefer to use when my hair is dry. The beauty of the "Wet Brush" is its superior ability to detangle
