Black women: Why are black hair products in the "ethnic" aisle at the stores?
I never understood this, why the stores do not just put all the hair care products in the same aisle. Why is there a "white person" aisle for products, then usually the next row over is "ethnic aka black" aisle?
No lovely bunny, I am just a father who takes his girls shopping.

Every story I has all the hair products geared toward different races in one aisle, except there is usually a tiny section for black hair care products.
I don’t really use any of that suff, because it has a lot of damaging chemicals in it. I’d rather get my hair care products from sources that are a little more natural.
At the grocery store I go to they are all in the same aisle.
I use Herbal Essences, and thats on whatever aisle shampoo and conditioner is on. I do use "Pink" hair lotion sometimes and thats surrounded by a lot of "Black girl products" but they always stink imo. Black women’s hair products always have "earthy" smells that I hate. I’m not some hippie! …well not so much anyway, lol.
Edit: >> Oh now I have to watch out because saying I don’t like the smells means I’m a self hater to certain Black female users here. I must learn to follow the sheep. Darn.
@Shadow Dweller: Yeah I don’t know much about hair, but mine is also to the middle of my back somehow. I’ve gone through tons of shampoos/cond. and I always just go back to herbal essences fsr. I used Black hair products before that my mom/sister would buy, but it never did very good for my hair and it makes my scalp dirty really quickly (like scratching my head and getting dirt under my nails!) so I’d have to wash my hair more often. :/ Garnier Fructise and Tresemme are also 2 that work really really well in my hair, and Pink hair lotion is great too. I think I can try some more BH products tho, like I used a green thing of Olive Oil that my grandma had that was great, but I just buy 100% olive oil for a deep conditioner.
I know some black people that are really touchy about things like this. They want everything to be seperate from white people and as a result things like this happen. I agree with you saying that all products related to each other should be in the same aisle. I think even small things like seperating hair products due to ethnicity can bring on bad feelings.
you know what…i’m starting to think you are probably a white female…….
you talk about black women WAY to much..now you know about women’s hair products? you are either a straight up homo or a female..you could be homo too
What is with your obsession with black people? Creepy.
I’ve seen that at some stores – the stores that think "ethnic" is a synonym for "non-white" and particularly "back", which of course is silly, since EVERYBODY has an ethnicity. It wouls seem more to hurt than help situations, since a LOT of white people have the characteristics they are trying market to.
