Is it ok for white girls to use black girl hair products?

So for the past few years I’fe been useing suave and pantene and now I see all the damage its done. My hair gets greasy if not washed for a day but is still incredable dy and brittle on parts and is even falling out more. I was looking at products to use that were not animal tested but still healthy and found one called Giovanni. I want to try it but the only reviews are from black girls so I don’t know if its ok for my hair along with other special hydrating products.

Answer #1

it doesnt really matter your skin color, its more of the hair type since they are known to have rather thick hair. so it’s fine if you have the same kind of hair

Answer #2

Yeah like Victoria said, your race doesn’t matter, it just depends on your hair type. If your hair is damaged and brittle, you can try to use some products that are recommended for african american hair and just see how it works. I have a friend who is black and has african american hair and she gave me some great hair products that she uses and they work really nicely to hydrate my hair. I have curly hair though, so it doesn’t make my hair greasy. Moisturizing products could make girls with straight hair greasy so I’d suggest using smaller amounts maybe? All you can do is just try it out and see what works for you.

Answer #3

not even all black girls can use hair products directed toward black races, it depends. have you ever dyed your hair? have you ever permed your hair? what products have you used? how thick or thin, how straight or curly. if you have oily hair then you should be more careful because typical african hair has no grease at all (unless they go like a month without washing it or something like that) so the products are directed to work with no greased hair, i would ask a professional to look at the product for you

Answer #4

You want to get a shampoo that says for oily to normal hair
