Going Natural Without Going Broke

Everyone knows at the beginning stages of going natural, you want to try all types of products to see what will work best for your hair. I have learned throughout my journey to mix and match products together so nothing goes to waste. For example, there has been tons of shampoos and moisturizers that didn't work out in my favor. So one special tip that I would like to pass on is add something that does work for you with the products that doesn't quite work for you. I had a bad experience with the Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and Natural shampoo and conditioner. It worked well for me when I was still relaxed but my natural tresses did not respond well to it. I listened to my hair and it was so dry after I conditioned my hair. So I knew that my hair loves Extra Virgin Olive Oil and it is a natural softener as well as coconut oil. So I add olive oil and/or coconut oil to any shampoo and conditioner that makes my hair feel dry. It helps a whole lot. I think instead of giving away your purchases, try to enhance them by adding your favorite oil to improve your product. Sometimes I will even mix good conditioners with my bad ones with a little bit of oil. Try this out first before throwing out products that you have paid for. Until you find your staple products, this will be a great way to use everything that is left in your cabinets. :) Going natural is a journey worth taking. In the meantime, be kind to your tresses.
