What's the best shampoo and conditioner for African American male's hair?

I don't want to use any relaxer or perm b/c it like it nappy and dont want it straightened. I just want to reduce the chance of my hairline receding or thinning as much as possible and I want it to be softer and less brittle. I don't like cutting my hair so often and getting it super short like the typical but wave-enhancing formula suggestions are good too even though I don't know how that would work. I heard motions, organix and creme of nature are good...but for MEN? and are there others? nothing over $50 plz :)What's the best shampoo and conditioner for African American male's hair?
Hair is hair, don't get caught up in gender marketing. You might feel silly buying a product for women, but it will work the best so who cares.


HAIR PRODUCTS:


1. Ones without sulfates/silicones are best. In the ingredient list if an ingredient ends in 'cone it has a cone in it. Silicones are bad for curly/kinky hair because our hair is porous and naturally sry and silicones are very hard to get out of hair and can build up over time cuasing dryness. So no conditioners and styling products with silicones becuase then they takes harsh shampoos to remove them. The best shampoo/conditioners are in organic stores or online: Jessicurl, Mixed Chicks, DevaCare, Miss Jessie's, Blended Beauty, Hair Rules, Karen Body Beautiful,JASON, Giovanni, Kinky Curly Custard are some of the best.

2. Don't confuse conditioner with moisture though. Conditioner seal in moisture so some people use oils and conditioner and then wonder why their nappy hair is brittle, tangly ad dry. Water is moisture, aloe vera gel is moisture, deep conditioners are moisturizers. Conditioners then seal in that moisture which IS an important step becuase our hair is porous and loses moisture fast.


2. Mainstream products for your hair since organic products can get expensive: Pantene, Herbal Essences, Suave, and Clairol are the best. Pantene is great because it makes detangling a breeze. Just try to get shampoos that aren't too harsh, I don't recommend Sauve shampoos. They strip hair of all moisture. Terri @ biracialhair.org has great advice on washing and conditioning.


3. I personally like all natural products. Apple cider vinegar shampoos hair just fine, olive oil/jojoba oil/coconut and other oils are good conditioners, and shea butter is an excellent leave in conditioner


Here are all the tips I have:


NATURAL HAIR EDUCATION:


1.) Condition, condition, condition after every time you wash. And deep condition (moisture that can seep in strands and usually involves heat to open hair cuticles) I like Pantene Relaxed and Natural. It has a lot of slip so detangling is a breeze. And apply leave in conditioner daily.





2.) Find out what ingredients in hair products are harmful. Throw out any products you have where the first ingredients are mineral oil or petroleum. Hair grease is cheap and can build up in hair causing dryness as it coats hair like plastic. Product build up=moisture can't get in=dry brittle hair. http://biracialhair.org has a good ingredient list.





3.) Recognize what causes breakage. Unhealthy hair is the main culprit but rough fabrics, heat, dry hair, brushing, rough detangling, coloring, repetitive styling can make situation worse. Always wear a satin cap to bed and sleep on satin pillowcase. Limit chemicals in your hair if you put them in at all. And don't do the same style every day as this creates a breaking point.





4.) Protective hairstyles. I mentioned ths before. Anything covering ends, constricting hair is protective. Our hair is so fragile/easily dried out it's not smart to leave it out daily. Twists, ponytails, braids, palm coils, weaves, cornrows, buns, dreadlocks etc are all examples of protective styling. You can rock an afro every now and then but I don't recommend every day if you want long hair. Moisturize even when hair is protected.





5.) Shampooing. Biggest myth in black hair care. You can shampoo as often as you like and in fact should at least once a week. Why the myth? Harsh shampoos (suave) have surfectants that it is tough to get out of every twist and turn in napptural hair. Shampoo often once you find a gentle shampoo (Nature's Gate, Aubrey Organics or even apple cider vinegar) and eliminate silicones from your hair routine that build up in hair requiring harsh shampoos.





6.) Styling. This goes hand in hand with leave in condish. But you should also get styling products with humectants in them (gels, shea butter, kinky curly curling custard) to style hair with. Napptural hair can do anything you want as long as it is moisturized.What's the best shampoo and conditioner for African American male's hair?
I highly suggest Aveda's Brilliant shampoos. Their whole Brilliant line is amazing for textured hair. They have this product called Universal Styling Cream or their Humectant Pomade that will really put moisture in your hair %26amp; give it a really nice look. Aveda's products are plant-based so it's very healthy for your hair %26amp; doesn't contain any harsh chemicals so that you can reduce the chance of your hairline receding ;)
