"On a daily basis or every other day I might wash my hair with just normal shampoo. Actually we're right here in my shower and so as you can see I've got a Colorgen, I've got Aveda, I've got some Loreal and some other things. And that's for me. But for my little sister Ashley she's got black hair and it's quite different than my hair. And my hair will get oily and it will get, and I'll need to wash it and stuff to take out the oils. It's very different from black hair. Black hair needs oil. And it needs that nourishment. It's very, very different from ours. No way would you see me putting pink lotion or hair food, different kinds of really great brands out there, but you wouldn't see a white girl putting that in her hair because she'll walk around looking quite funny. But on the other hand for Ashley's hair and black people you need specifically today we have some pink lotion. Now this is just one particular brand. It's called Motions At Home Hair Lotion and it's pink lotion. Pink lotion is just kind of the generic brand or name for, but there's a lot of different lines of pink lotion out there. You can go to different beauty supply stores. Specifically I know of Sally's. Sally's sells to the wholesale public. Like anybody can go in. You don't have to be a hairdresser to go in and buy products from Sally's beauty supply. Sally's beauty supply is nationwide all over the U.S. Europe and whatnot you're going to have to look for different places that sell black hair supplies. But they're out there so just go looking and you'll find it for sure. Next segment we're actually going to talk about picking a style that's right for you. And so I'm going to tell you about the style that we've chosen for Ashley that works for her."
