Grow My Hair Long

Do white products work in black hair ?
I Im 19 years old with thick afro textured hair .And im going to be honest , I have tried black hair products and at one time they were all i used. My experience with them has been that they are ok, but i found that most of them made statments such as ‘ will have healthy thick hair’ or ‘will make yur hair grow’. However while i found that these products were ok, they often don’t do what they say on the bottle. For some reason , i see the the majority of black hair poducts feel the need to print statements that tell the costumer that it will make their hair grow (because they think this is what every black women wants), when in actual fact I think that the only thing that determinds your hair growth is genetics and trim & treatment , just trying to look after your hair and not just going by what it says on the bottle. I suffer from dry itchy scalp , so i’ve used sulpher 8, i found this product really good, it would stop the itching immediatley (although the relief did only last for some hours), however the problem i found with this product is the fact that it is hair grease, and the problem with hair grease , is that i found that it does not get obsorbed into the scalp, but instead feels as if it is just sitting on the surface and making it very dirty, the more u put in it just builds up to a point where u scratch ur head and u have Hair Growth Treatment Spray this black gunk behind ur finger nails. ( so i now use hair oil which i find is a lot better)so one day i fancied a change, and i used garnier fructis shampoo, and i found that it worked really well. garnier fructis claims to strengthen your hair from the inside an make it shine on the out side, and with continued use will allow u to obtain healthier a nd strongerhair. I have been using it for months now and my hair has never been in better condition, my sister and my mother tell me that it looks so much healthier and it has also grown ( which i think is also down to the combination of trimming and conditioning). I also started using kera care treatment ( which is considered as a black hair product), and found that it work brilliantly , so thumbs up for kera care, although i’ve only started using it recently) . As for conditioning , i decided to try charles worthington , moister seal conditioner ( considered as a white hair product) and found that it also worked very well and after using it my hair was soft and detangled , i didn’t even need to comb it that much while i was blow drying. A ll i knew is that balck hair loves moisture and this conditioner said moistuer seal, so regardless of whether it was a black or white hair product it work very well for me.i just found it dissapointing that black hair products which tend to state that they can make your hair do this and that, in some cases tend to do neither , and products which are looked apon as white hair products done the very thing for my hair which black hair products said they would do, but didn’t. There are some black women that will just say , ‘ no, white products do not work in black hair’, but i can’t help thinking thats its maybe because they haven’t tried it. Im not saying that all white products work in black hair , because i did use a product by l’oreal , that didn’t work very well. But im just saying , whats wrong with combining them. There are probably some some qualities in white products which u can’t find in black and some in black products which u can’t find in white. However i think that i have now found the right balance which works for my hair. my hair is still natural so i just use ghd’s after i blow dry to straighten my hair. While i straighten i use a little of ‘ Charles worthington’ heat defence spray and smooth in small amounts of cream gro by ‘Triple gro’, which gets my hair super straight. The cream grow doesn’t actually say its for straightening but it works wonders for me and i don’t use it for anything else. Im no expert in hair but all i know is that hair is hair, and while they may be completely different textures, if a white product says that it adds moisture to the hair , then i can’t see why it can’t do the same for the black. What do you guys think ?
