I had no idea so I looked it up for you and this is what I got (it's pretty much like everyone else's hair with a difference or two...)

Directions for shampooing/conditioning African American hair (forum):

1. Use shampoos that have a low pH, somewhere between a 4 or a 5. Acidic shampoos temporarily close the cuticle of the hair (works like sucking on a lemon). If the pH of the shampoo is not located on the bottle, pH-testing papers are available at most drugstores and pharmacies for a nominal cost. Or, use neutralizing shampoos, the "post relaxer" type. These have a low pH because they are used to neutralize the alkaline effects of a relaxer.

2. Use conditioners to detangle and temporarily smooth the hair cuticle. Don't leave a conditioner on longer that is suggested by the manufacturer's instruction. You don't get "more benefit" from leaving it on longer but you may break off more hair. Instant conditioners will help to detangle hair and temporarily coat the hair with protein. Leave on one to three minutes. These are better for natural hair. Deep conditioners are better for chemically treated hair. These usually stay on for 20-30 minutes. Use a heating cap, set on low or medium heat, to help the conditioner temporarily replace the keratin lost through hair damage.

3. While shampooing and conditioning, try not to tangle the hair excessively, I have always found that washing my hair in sections helps to keep the tangles and the frustrations down.

4. Be Patient. Clear all tangles and snarls with the fingers first, then, starting from the bottom, using your wide toothed comb, complete the detangling process. Using an oil lotion at this stage, while the hair is still damp will help keep the hair moisturized and help ease out the tangles.

5. Rinse your hair twice as long as it took to wash it. Shampoo residue will dry your hair and break it off. Focus conditioning on the ends. They are the oldest part of the hair, and more prone to damage.

6. Stay away from Balsam in conditioner. It leaves a clear film on the hair that is excessively drying to African American hair.
