Hair Helper vitamins for Africans in South Africa - Will these work?


The Hair Beauty team have many African clients and have monitored our clients throughout South Africa who are using the Hair Helper Vitamins, for sometime now and are happy to report a more than 80% success mark. We also did quite a bit of research on African hair and this is the message that we would like to convey with all Africans throughout South Africa who are thinking about trying the Hair vitamins.....


Whether it be straight, wavy, curly or frizzy, a hair is always a hair and grows from a follicle which is a small pocket underneath the scalp. Its basic composition, largely based on keratin , is always the same. African hair has a flattened cross-section and is finer, forming frizzy heads of hair, the ringlets of which can form tight circles with diameters of only a few millimetres. African hair, generally black hair, is the slowest growing of all ethnic groups, at less than 0.9 cm a month. It is also slightly more dense and grows almost parallel to the scalp, twisting around itself as it grows but as in the case with ALL hair, the follicle NEEDS nutrients and vitamins to produce healthy hair strands. African hair also produces plenty of protective oils, called sebum. In fact, African hair actually produces more oils than Caucasian and Asian hair. However, due to the tight curls, the oil fails to spread evenly along the hair fibre.
Therefore it is even more important for African people to massage their scalp and get the oils spread evenly as much as possible because without this very necessary lubrication, the fibres become very dry. This causes the brittle strands to flake and roughen, resulting in hair that is coarse to the touch. Very curly hair from all ethnic groups often lacks the silky smoothness of straight hair. This may be due to the same reason, but to a lesser extent. It is also very important to note that many Africans enjoy relaxers and braiding. If hair is braided too tightly, it puts enormous strain on the hair follicles below the surface of the scalp and will eventually kill the follicles (roots) and will result in hair strands breaking off.
Relaxers can also be extremely damaging to dry hair and can also result in hair strands breaking off. Therefore, the Hair Beauty Team are confident that the Hair Helper Vitamins will benefit ALL South Africans and although the process may be slightly longer for some groups, the end result will be worth the time and effort. We have monitored clients from all over South Africa and are proud to note a more than 80% success rate and among our top achievers, African clients who have understood the process and have been prepared to go the whole way.
