Products That Tame Your Unruly Hair

I have very, very frizzy hair. I attribute my frizziness and brittle hair to many years of blonde highlights and not my genetics. I have come to find that products geared towards ethnic people work wonders on my hair though because of the highly moisturizing ingredients they use. So, if I have to tell myself I have ethnic hair, then I will to keep using these products since my hair fits the description: kinky, unruly, coarse and frizzy.

The truth is that you do not have to be ethnic to use these products. The generalization comes in that ethnic people have thick, straight, wavy hair, but most Americans come with all these hair types too, so just look at it as you fit the description for hair type and are using it for your hair needs.

I sometimes find myself feeling nervous when I am shopping for hair products and see something that I think to myself “This will work wonders,” but it is labeled for haircare for different ethnicities. At the end of the day, you are shopping for what your hair needs, and a product with the ingredients that will work really well with your hair.

Recently, I used two products that enhanced my showering experience because they are for use of women from all ethnicities. Dr. Ena Hennegan’s Many Ethnicities shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner products come in a set for women and kids. The products are made using all-natural ingredients such as hydrolyzed pea protein, which promotes hair cell growth and causes the hair to repair itself from within; marine algae, which helps to strengthen hair; and avocado oil, which is my favorite moisturizing ingredient of all time for my hair.

These products do not use any sulfates, which most generic shampoos use and dry your hair out. Not to mention, the kid’s products smells great, like sweet brown sugar. When I buy my new set, it will most definitely be the kid’s set because of its sweet smell. This product can also be used by men as my boyfriend says the kid’s leave-in conditioner works great on his straight hair by giving it a pulled wet styled look, and he stole mine.

The shampoo is light and watery, but leaves my hair so clean and bouncy, while the conditioner is thick and takes out about 75 percent of my tangles. The kid’s leave-in conditioner works like a light gel that smells like something I want to eat.

Muhga Eltigani is the founder of NaturAll Club, which makes Fresh Avocado Deep Conditioner.

When this product arrived, I was very confused. It came with a shower cap, spray bottle and yogurt-looking packets. I like something that is quick and easy, and this seemed like too much. Well, it is actually not a lot. You basically make sure you put in the avocado conditioner (made with real avocados and lavender essential oils) from root to ends, put on the cap and leave it for 20 minutes. Rinse, and it says to do it again in 2 weeks. Well, try doing again every three days instead, and be ready for the silkiest smooth and straightest hair ever.

My friends asked me if I got a keratin treatment because of the shine and/or a straight perm because my curls were gone, weighed down by the avocado remnants, but still looked shiny and clean. Eltigani created this product out of need in her college dorm room, and now her product has turned into a success because a product that actually works shows that by its sales numbers. Be sure to get your avocado deep conditioner soon and see for yourself. I use it once a month and on the days after I get my highlights done to save my parched strands.
