Ingredients to avoid
I try and be short but this deserves full report, this is essential in maintaining good hair and getting growth

Below are a list of ingredients common in ethnic minority skin and hair care products that can potentially be harmful

Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)

Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners... and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin's moisture barrier, easily pe*****tes the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily pe*****te. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a "nitrosamine", a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling "comes from coconut" or "coconut-derived".

You pick up a shampoo and you will find that the majority of them have this ingredient as SLS is found in over 95 percent of commercial shampoos. As SLS is a potent de-greaser, acting as a surfactant, binding to the dirt and gunk on your hair and scalp. After rinsing your hair, the grime is dragged down the plug hole by the SLS. SLS takes no prisoners, dirt is zapped away from your hair, but it also takes with it the natural oils leaving your hair even drier. Yet even after rinsing SLS residue may remain on your scalp. This minor exposure itself may be enough to cause problems.

Parabens

These are Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including body moisturizers and hair care products). If you look on the back of your shampoo or conditioner bottle, you might have seen words like methyl paraben, propyl paraben or ethyl paraben.

These are preservatives used to prevent microbial growth and extend a product's shelf life. The FDA considers the amount of parabens used in cosmetics to be safe, however, some people can still develop allergic reactions on the skin or scalp. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities -- mimicking estrogen -- and interfere with the body's endocrine system. If you are suffering from rashes or an irritated scalp, it might be worth switching to an organic/natural hair product line that uses natural preservatives.

Mineral Oil and Petrolatum

Most products geared at black women usually contain Mineral oil and Petrolatum. Reason being is that they are cheap to sell and give an illusive shine. These ingredients have proven to be damaging in the long run as they coat the skin like plastic, clogging the pores and creating a build up of toxins. It is also a suspected cause of cancer and disruptive hormonal activity.

Propylene glycol

This is an active ingredient found in many African American hair products as well as moisturisers in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Propylene Glycol is also a active component of anti-freeze and actually deteriorates the protein and cellular structure of African American or Ethnic hair. Protein is what your hair needs to thrive. Workers actually use gloves and goggles when dealing with this substance due to its chemical side effects and toxicity

Research has also shown it to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, and may inhibit skin cell growth or cause skin irritation.

Isopropyl Alcohol

This ingredient is known to dry and break African American hair. It is found in color rinses and anti-freeze. It is also used in keyboard, LCD and laptop cleaning as a strong but safer alternative to common household cleaning products.

Diethanolamine (DEA), Momoethnanolamine (MEA), Triethanolamine (TEA)
Usually listed as an ingredient containing a neutralizing compound, i.e. as Cocamide DEA or Lauramide DEA, repeated skin applications of DEA-based detergents are known to form cancer causing nitrates.
