I am African American as well and here's what I do. . . . comb my hair before I put my head in water. Wet your hair in warm water and rub shampoo in.. . . rinse out. . . . add more shampoo. . . rinse out. Wring out hair towel gently place on hair and rub lightly. Add conditioner from root to end of hair all over. . . . Let it sit for about 15 mins. (In the meantime you can put up dinner) lol Rinse conditioner out and wring hair again and lightly rub hair w / towel. Use a generous amount of setting lotion, put a horizontal part in the crown of head and wrap your hair. Once you wrap it sit under dryer or let air dry. Once dry comb hair down, use a little grease to grease scalp not to put on hair. Rub or spray Kemi Oyl Razac hair oil (whatever u prefer) on hair and wrap it back up and the next morning comb it down and get on with your day. In the beginning u might have to flat iron it before u wrap it but after a while your hair with be trained to fall into place with a nice healthy bend. PS Try not to use your curling iron or flat iron too much, causes severe breakage

As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons / hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, infra shine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener , they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair. In terms of performance: The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, infra shine, Ghd. These are top of the line professional brand Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell, Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, BabylissBelow Average: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore.

I got my Solia a few years back, it worked great for my hair (and my sister's hair too). Last August my sister went to a college in california, she took the Solia with her. Initially I wanted another Solia, but Jonna (my hair stylist) convinced me to get a Sedu. I did. Like Jonna said, Sedu is the best. Now they have 2008 model (Sedu Revolution), i can not wait to try it!
