Consumers of African descent use an array of hair-grooming products. They are attracted to products that promote moisture and minimize breakage because their hair is prone to dryness and fragility. Herein, we discuss popular hair care products used by African Americans as well as their ingredients, including sulfates, surfactants, silicones, oils, and parabens. Knowledge of popular hair and scalp products and their ingredients, indications for use, adverse effects, and misconceptions can assist dermatologists in delivering culturally competent care. In addition to being proficient in the diagnosis and treatment of hair and scalp disorders in this population, dermatologists must be aware of common hair and scalp products.
