Why do I wash my hair with gloves? I just don't like the feeling of product and shed hair on my hands plus it stops my nails snagging on my hair.

Your experience with cheaper products is a blessing. There are a lot of black women that make the wrong move with cheap products and their hair is in shambles 😂😂😂😂 and honestly someone could have the same experience with expensive products if they don't understand just enough to care for their hair. I have to buy expensive products to get the best quality for the styles I wear and because I have allergies and allergic asthma. I love your natural hair success and I've been inspired by some of your vids.

Hey hair twin 🤗 we’ve both got wash n gos today, except mine is burgundy. The only time I splurge is with deep conditioners. Shampoos, conditioners and stylers are a dime a dozen for me-they all just do the same thing. Any time I try to branch out with stylers, I always end up back at old faithful (Eden Bodyworks and diy gels).

I really appreciate this video, I would love to see more black owned natural hair products. I understand that there’s usually a price disparity but I am sure that there are some budget ones out there, and as much as I am trying to be more budgeted with spending, I also want to spend with stores that support my community. I think innocent hair care has a lot of products under £10, so if in the future you could do a review of them, that would be amazing x

Unfortunately my hair and my scalp are high maintenance. Lol! My scalp has rejected most conditioners, styling products, oils and butters. Sigh. I'm trying to use only Cantu and Aphogee for my hair and Groganics for my scalp. For extra I have products from my Trichologists, Paul Mitchell Shampoo three for chelating and As I am Hydration Elation for a protein-free deep conditioner. The only DIY I have is aloe Vera juice and rose water for my extra dry high porosity ends. I definitely cannot leave in my deep conditioner. It rubs off on my scalp and causes irritation. Luckily Cantu is always on sale. Aphogee is not too expensive and last a long time like half the year. The chelating shampoo and proteins fee deep conditioner last ages as I only use them every 4-6 weeks.

I get what you're saying about the old products, but in terms of the new wave of products on the market there is a massive difference. Now we have products with fewer synthetic ingredients, the new products tend to be more natural ingredients. Secondly, the newer products soak and penetrate the hair better than the old ones. Also, the newer products provide better slip, which the older ones don't really have, if you're looking to retain length you'll need as much slip as possible to avoid snapping the hair. Lastly, might I add, the new products tend to be black-owned which is also an added bonus for the community, so I think there is a massive difference between the old and new hair products, hence why so many black woman are finding it eaiser to maintain their natural hair.

My hair unfortunately likes more expensive products. So I save up for two months a sum of money for hair care for my daughters and I, then I do a big splurge on hair that will last for months and start the savings up again. Each week for two to three months. I put a little money in. I do this with all my savings. And this helps me save. The cheapest thing my hair likes is Aloe Vera juice, Aussie conditioners and mango butter. Other than that. My hair likes the expensive stuff. But I find ways to buy them without going broke.

The Lord is coming back. He loves you dearly and calls for you to come back home to Him. He calls for repentance and belief in the Gospel. It’s time to fully surrender to Christ. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
