    Hi there! 

    I’m developing formulations for curly/afro hair care and would like to know more about this topic. Does anyone knows any course or online traing about this kind of products? I’d really like to see your recomendations. 

    Kind regards,

    Your best bet is to search the top performing and/or best-selling products for curly/afro hair and note the ingredients they use.  There is someone on the board, I forget who, unfortunately, who mentioned in the past that they have lots of experience formulating for curly/kinky hair.

    @MarkBroussard errrr…that would be me, dude. Now I am outed! I’ll share with y’all my mentor here. I worked with and for Ali for many years. Nobody knows more about the chemistry. Chicago was once the Silicon Valley of African American haircare industry; not so much any more.

    Thank you, Mark! I already did an analysis of top performing/best selling products! Now I’m running some tests on the lab. It’s been fun 🙂
