Black Hair Care Products

Generally, African American hair is brittle and damages easily. African American hair is subjected to chemicals and extreme heat in attempt to make the hair longer and smoother. So before you go trying complicated tricks and new trends to get your hair to be healthy and grow try a few simple maintenance routines. It is often the simple things that you do everyday that make the biggest difference in our hair growth and health.

For black hair care we recommend using a pre- shampoo treatment such as our emu oil, jojoba oil or argan oil. A pre- shampoo treatment is applied hours or a day before shampooing to lock in moisture. The oil will form a protective layer over the hair strand and reduce breakage while adding moisture.

Using the right shampoo can be tricky too! Sulfates can be harsh to certain hair types such as black, thick and coarse hair. So we have formulated our Profolla Silk line with a sulfate free surfactant, Chemoryl™ SFB-10SK surfactant blend is a 32% solids, alkyl and alkyl ether sulfate-free, DEA and MEA amide-free, mild, multi-purpose surfactant concentrate. It is an excellent choice to provide very mild cleansing and gentle foaming in color protection shampoos, baby shampoos, and other mild cleansing shampoos.


Conditioning is important too! All of our conditioners are sulfate free and the oils we use are natural, emu oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil and argan oil. As much as we try to prevent it shampooing does strip oils from the hair and this is why it is important to condition and moisturize the hair and scalp. We have a few options with the oils and the actives in the conditioners but all of our conditioner bases have emu oil and jojoba oil and some of the others have these oils as well as the coconut and argan oil.

Deep Conditioning every 30 to 45 days is also a good part of a healthy hair routine. We have a Root Food and a Deep Treatment, either one of these would be an excellent choice. The Root Food for Healthy Roots & Tips – Hair grows from the roots and most products never focus on the health of the hair root. Root Food uses nourishing herbal extracts including vanilla bean to penetrate deep into the hair root to promote healthy hair growth and moisture to the scalp and hair. Deep Treatment for damaged hair helps seal-in moisture and hydration while providing protection from sun damage, heat damage from styling appliances, and from breaking and snapping due to coloring or chemical treatments.

Protect Hair Ends with emu oil, jojoba oil or argan oil. Although we do produce our own oils we need to use other oils to promote and encourage new hair growth. Emu oil has been shown to promote new health hair growth. It is a carrier oil too so it gets deep down to the dermis layer for maximum results. These oils also help condition the hair and scalp.

Last but not least hair vitamins. We have a few options to choose from and have had excellent result with all of them. It really comes down to a personal preference on the supplement list on which one each customer chooses. They all have B12, niacin, zinc, biotin, and more.

Try not to over wash your hair. We tend to get to generous when scrubbing the scalp and this tends to leave the hair more vulnerable to breakage. We also need to reduce the amount of heat that is applied to the hair, again causing dry, brittle hair. When you do blow dry use the lowest heat setting or the cool setting if you have it.
