How often to shampoo natural Black hair should result in a simple answer but given the diversity of Afri-Ethnic hair, the solution often varies.

Much Ado About Shampoo

We've been receiving a lot of questions from the naaniFAM about which shampoo variety they should select.  Choosing a shampoo is mainly a decision based on personal preference as most of us go for aroma rather than content.

What's in Your Shampoo

Generally, shampoos are 80-90% water and contain 2-8% detergents and foaming agents and about 1% fragrance and preservatives.  Based on these numbers alone it's not easy to choose a good shampoo from a bad one.  In the end, it often comes down to personal preferences such as fragrance and foaming ability.

Do Shampoo's Cause Cancer

In 1998, an email chain letter began circulating which stated that many of the common ingredients in shampoos actually cause CANCER...yeah, the Big C.  Here's an excerpt from that email..."BUT the fact is that SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong.  It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no joke."*   Uhm...yeah it is.  

Hair Shampoo - Information And Tips

Shampoo is a probably the most common hair care product used to clean hair It basically removes oils, dirt, products and other pollutants from the exterior of the hair and scalp

Secrets of Shampoo

A stroll down the shampoo aisle is always an eye opener. What are shampoos doing these days? Will they revitalize or energize our hair? Add luster or remove buildup? Nourish or rejuvenate? What's the newest "miracle" ingredient? Sperm extract or quinine? Alpha hydroxy fruit complex or beta carotene?

Clarifying Shampoos and Rinses

Clarifying Shampoos and Rinses work to deep-clean and remove buildup resulting from styling products, mineral deposits from hard water and environmental factors (smog, smoke, dust, etc).

  • Comment on My Cabbage Patch and Me by Ash
    I really like this peace. It was humbling. Thanks.

  • Comment on Is Black History Month Obsolete? by Ash
    BHM will be obsolete when black parents take the time to learn their history, take pride in it, and pass it on to their children - yes, even BEFORE the slave trade, our history does not begin with being captured from our homeland. But that won't be for a couple of centuries - there are a lot of blacks who deny their heritage because they still don't know about King Tut or Nefertiti. Stolen Legacy should be read more often

  • Comment on Black Women Make Me Sick by Ash
    Finally, here's one woman who has the guts to say it. It is truly embarrassing how the shitty Strong and independent movement lack so much street, moral, and relationship sense and skills. I know so many sister who preach this tired song. Why not Smart and Sophisticated!? That at least implies common sense. I co-sign on everything this article says - be competitive in your field, and be the best wifey to your man - you get the benefits o...

  • Comment on A White Woman Explains Why She Prefers Black Men by Chrissy
    First Italians are not white. lol Second, You're truly missing out. There is something awesome and sexy about most men in general. Every race has at least one man that is wonderfully sexy.

Italians and other Latin men have their openness and awesome passion! Slavic men have crazy stamina and self discip...
