As an African-American woman (or man), you already know the difficulties of shopping for hair care products.

Despite the fact that shampoo bottles are labeled “For all types of hair,” they don’t cater to natural African American hair. Instead, they damage your curls and give you frizzy locks.

But before you throw in the towel, remember to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. Just because department stores don’t have the right solutions for your hair-related woes, doesn’t mean there aren’t any shampoos that can save your tresses!

Here are a few types of shampoos that are perfect for natural African-American hair:

Natural Shampoos with Shea Butter And Jamaican Castor Oil

Shea butter along with a mixture of Jamaican castor oil will do wonders for your hair. You need something to soften and smoothen out your tresses. If you use heat to style your hair, natural shampoos can help protect your hair from frizz.

By the time you’re done washing your hair, you won’t even need a conditioner because the Jamaican castor oil will moisturize and condition your locks deeply.

Organic Anti-Frizz and Hair Loss Shampoo

Go for a shampoo that’s organic and anti-frizz. It’ll be great if you can find one that’s organic anti-frizz, and for hair loss.

If not, you can use both on alternate days or get a conditioner for frizzy hair. If you have thick, curly hair, the main problem is washing off the shampoo. Go for a shampoo that isn’t scented and easily washes off after one wash.

Pro Tip: If it lathers, it’s full of chemicals and parabens. If it doesn’t lather, it’s natural and organic. This type of shampoo will not dry your hair and strip its natural oil away.

Fragrance-Free

As mentioned above, go for a shampoo that is fragrance-free. Fragranced shampoos are full of chemicals that damage your curls. In addition, they can irritate your scalp and damage your roots. This will result in hair loss.

Remember, just because it smells like roses, doesn’t mean it’ll do wonders for your hair!
