Which ones are YOU using!

Ok, now I'm not excepting people to use any old product on their hair because it's black owned. I sure don't. But why didn't anyone ask "What black owned products work well?"
It seemed as if no one wanted to get out of their comfort zone to even ASK about black hair care companies.

Well for me, I never asked because I KNOW what works for ME and on MY hair. Just because I use a non-black owned product primarily doesn't mean that I exclude other products from my hair regimen. I've got a huge storage container with lots of beauty and hair products black-owned/not. My friends don't go to the store and buy products because "I've got my own little shop" as they say. I just took offense to those who just assumed (and you know what they say about assuming-"you make an ___ out of yourself") that because someone uses "what works" that they don't support black businesses which was the main point of the question. But the topic was very narrow and eventually with all the other posts, it showed that there are other ways that black people are supporting black businesses.
