Black Soap for Hair: Reap The Benefits!

By CreativeliCoiled — May 14, 2012

Hey Curfriends!

I hope you guys enjoyed my last article, if you didn’t get a chance to read it, click here and check it out!!!

Well transitioners, I want to talk to you about the great benefits of African Black Soap. A month ago Jenell sent me some African Black Soap and I was so excited to use it on my skin and had no intention of using it as a low poo for my hair. After talking to Jenell about how soft it left her hubby’s hair and after seeing how great it left my skin, I thought , it wouldn’t hurt to try it on my hair.

Needless to say it left my hair soft, with great springy curls and MOIST! Although I was told about its abilities, I was shocked to see the results. Ladies, really, who could refuse a three in one product?!?!?!? Face, Body and HAIR!!!!! I need a brick of this stuff!

So, transitioners, how can African Black Soap benefit you? Well I enlisted my beautiful friend, Keisha, and her 9 months of transitioning hair to tell you how. This is what she had to say:

“African Black Soap lathered very well with just a few strokes under water, so it will last for quite a while. The suds felt gentle and one poo was all it took. I automatically felt the curls popping up and that’s a plus! After washing it out and doing a cold water rinse, it left my two very different textures soft and ready for my conditioner. The plus was very little tangles, so detangling was a breeze. Once my hair was dried and styled you could visibly see it was moist and not dry looking and I must say, very soft.”

Well don’t take Keisha’s or my word for it! If you’re looking for a great product, with multi-usage and great hair benefits try African black soap out on your transitioning hair!

Hey,

Before going natural entered into my mind, my aunt would tell me great stories about her black soap experiences and even had many of us using it on our skin.Then the thought had not crossed my mind to wash my hair with it, but I will sure give it a try. Do you you think that there will be a significant difference if you use those no raw black soap bars that have things added in them?ie fragrances. I know that SM has African Black Soap line that I’ve seen in WAGS, Walmart, and Target. Has anyone tried them? What’s your thoughts?

  Hey Monique,thanks for sharing! I think raw african black soap is the best way to experience the great benefits the soap has to offer. I tired a couple of brands from my local drug stores and walmart and they left my skin burned, irritated, and also left marks on my face. I so happy that Jenell introduced me to this brand of raw ABS and it has cleared my skin and now I use it on my hair and it’s great! So speaking from experience, I would go with a raw form of ABS, Jenell has some for a low cost email her, click message in the post.

I bought some yesterday at my local beauty supply store in Charlotte, NC. I washed my hair with it today and it lathered quickly. My hair felt clean and soft. It didn’t dry my hair out at all. I cut a small piece off to use. I think I am going to love it.

I have been using Africna Black soap since my BC last April. I created a shampoo with it by letting a few chunks dissolve in water and I add some EVOO. I also suggested this to my sister who sufferes from psorsis and ithas done wonders for her skin. This is by far the best natural product I have come by. I think whats best it that it is cost effective as well. I brought 1 pound and it has lasted for months.

Ummmm I was also advised by the guru in lb, ca at shades of Afrika they are the best for black skin & hair supplies. True AFRIKAN products. They also have a website and a store in corona, ca for my ie sisters. Though she sells like 3 different kinds of ABS she did informe that ghe raw is THE best. The others have dyes and fillers. she advised me that some folks feel more comfy w a traditional bar of soap so they tend to buy that black colored soap. I bought her story bcz I never geeked hustled. Plus the 1lb was so inexpensive I had to give it a try. So this is just a FYI. Black, fragrances and fillers in it! It probably worx fine but it is NOT raw. The raw is golden prown in color and you can see the ingredients thru out the bar.

I have been natural for 14 years and this past summer I started using black soap on my hair! It feels amazing, and like everyone says it lathers quickly. I used to use expensive shampoos and conditioners(Nixion)….. that left my scalp dry and full of dandruff patches. Never again will I use a regular shampoo on my hair.I am a Raw food vegetarian! So everything I do is natural from head to toe! Try the BLACK SOAP…. your hair will thank you!

Will it work for eczema?

  When you have eczema your skin is dry, black soap will dry you out more.
