A look back at 20th century African American pop culture: advertising, film, music, fashion and anything else I can get my hands on. All in good fun.

The Afro Sheen Blow Out Kit
Dig this great 1970s commercial for Afro Sheen. If you're of a certain age--and I am--you'll remember these spots airing on Soul Train on Saturdays. Watu Wasuri, Baby.
I remember my dad using these kits AND seeing the ads on television. It wasn't until a few years ago (after achieving a 1970s worthy afro of my own) that I realized blow out kits were relaxers.
