Yes It is safe to use in black womens hair. I am black and got it done a month ago and am happy with the results. Before I got it done I was trying to grow out a relaxer and hadn't gotten a relaxer since Dec. '07 and last month on the May 13th I got it done with a hair dresser named Nelly (212) 674-7247 she works in a hole in the wall salon in Manhattan but she is great and is very patient and explains everything as she is doing it. The smell is not that bad I was expecting it to horrible by the way most people describe it but at times I could barely even smell it. My hair was breaking at the ends before I got it done and now there is no breakage and it extra soft and does not frizz. The only draw back is if I want to put curls in it it doesn't hold past 2 days, but that's only because the product is doing what it is made to do straighten the hair. The new growth is not hard like when you have a relaxer and so I blow it out and it blends in with the straight part with out a problem. If anyone has any questions I will be more than happy to answer them email me at musicalnature@aol.com

Just a quick supplementary on this excellent comment:
Here in Brazil, where the Keratin treatment is known as Escova Progressiva, many black women use these products in 2 disctinctly different ways.
Keratin on black hair works really well on top of traditional relaxers, and helps maintain good condition and the relaxed effect.
But increasingly we're seeing people use Escova Progressiva as an ALTERNATIVE to relaxing. This is mainly for 2 reasons: First it's a lot kinder to the hair and second it prevents hair breakage, which is perfect if you're trying to grow your hair.
Any questions please feel free to message me via my facebook or at the blog - http://escovaprogress.com
Cheers.
