When you read advertisements like that followed by realistic testimonials that say, “This really works!”, don’t you feel impelled to give that super product a chance? We naturals might like to believe that we have the strength to not try every up-and-coming natural hair care product on the market. Some of us do.
On the other hand, some of us label ourselves product junkies. As the name suggests, we are addicted to hair care products. Our hair care arsenal looks like bomb shelter, but instead of canned food and a first aid kit, we have rows and rows of gels, shampoos, conditioners, serums, cleansers, clarifiers, glosses, moisturizers, creams, lotions and detanglers. How much can one head of hair handle?
Less is more.
The more products we pile on our natural tresses, the greater the need to cleanse our scalps of nasty product build-up. The first couple days after we load our hair with product might give it the look we desire. But after those couple days, too much product will start to irritate the scalp and weigh down fragile strands.
Less is more. The absolute least amount of product that gives the greatest results will help your hair and scalp stay cleaner longer, looking cute in the process.
But what if you haven’t found that miracle product yet, the one that detangles, moisturizes and defines your unique curls? You don’t have to give up cable because you are a product junkie. You also don’t have to quit cold turkey from buying natural hair care products.

I guess on the outside, looking in… Black women have a different obsession with hair. (This is a fact, especially coming from a hair obsessed blog).
Now, when trying to market to Black women, I don’t think it is wise to mention our hair obsession, and lack of Vagina obsession. Just saying.
I mention this because of the recent Summer’s Eve’s Advertisements. (Click Read More for Video)
A Black hand talks about all the time spend in the club and, “hair on your head”, and the neglect to the hair down there while drawing a cactus.
The Latino hand starts off by saying “Aye, Aye, Aye” and then in a heavily accented voice mentions the “trashing the tacky leopard thong.” She evens mentions the ease of child birth while several storks carrying babies are displayed.
