Hair Lotion For Black Hair

What kind of hair products are good for a black person?

I am not African American, but my husband and family are, so I need some advice on hair care products for my step daughter. I have bought her Motions hair lotion and hair cream and it seems to be making her hair really soft, but this weekend when she visited her biological mom, she told me that her hair was really dry and suggested putting grease in her hair. For some reason I just don’t see why grease is better than conditioners. Could someone please explain why hair grease would be better than a condition for a black woman, and reccommend some good hair products for permed hair?
PS My step daughter is 14 years old
She is not biracial, her biological mother and father are both black. She is my step-daughter, but I am here full time. She lives with me and her father, and he works so I am her primary care-giver.

What kind of products would be good for scalp moisturizing, as well as hair moisture?

It depends on the ethnic background of your step-daughter. If she is Black, than it is important to moisturize and condition the hair. The scalp must have oil put on it for lubrication. Use a good oil moisturizer lotion for the hair. I personally don’t like Motions products, but it may work well for her hair. If she is biracial, she still needs to moisturize her hair. Consider trying products that were created for biracial hair textures, like Mixed Chicks, Treasured Locks or Blended Beauty.
