Dear Nexxus;


I love Nexxus products. Several years ago I picked up a Nexxus brochure that was basically like a hair prescription, a Nexxus formula for African-american hair. It told the right combinations to use for Black hair. Therefore, I was very dissapointed not to see any mention of specifically African-american hair on your website. I still love Nexxus products and the environmentally-sensitive nature of the company. Do not ignore your Black consumers, we have billions of dollars in purchasing power. Thank you for your time.

Dear Consumer:

In response to your communication, please be advised that Nexxus Products are formulated on the basis of hair type and/or condition and scalp condition. We have a diverse selection of products, each formula aimed at a particular and refined resolution. Therefore, we are able to target and treat specific areas of concern for every consumer.

Cordially,

  "At Paul Labreque's N.Y.C. salon, thermal reconditioning starts at $750 (888-757-2566) and lasts six to 10 months. Tyra Banks (left) opts for a gentle relaxer at the Lisa Mitchell Salon ($150; 212-982-0085) which lasts three to six months."
  Six months!!! I guess it depends on how un-straight your hair is to begin with?

  "Morning brushing is best with a natural hair bristle brush which is similar to your hair structure and less likely to produce tangles on long hair. The brush should have a wooden base that reduces static electricity...Never use a metal or rubber comb."
