Deep Conditioning on a BUDGET!

Deep conditioning is very important. It allows your hair to get moisture as well as be really soft and eventually (if not right away) your curls will become more enhanced because they are now moisturized.

Using a deep conditioner actually strengths your hair and makes it easier to detangle. Deep conditioning your hair allows it to repair itself from any kind of damage. You would want to deep condition more often if your hair is really damage to try and replenish it. Now you don't need to go out and buy expensive products for the process. You could use products from your household such as eggs, mayonnaise, honey, coconut oil, amongst other things. Also, you could even visit your local dollar tree or dollar general and gets some products from there.




What I did for my deep conditioner was mixed all my products (hair mayonnaise from dollar tree, my oils, conditioner, and coconut oil) into a bowl and applied it to my hair. However, you may want to work on freshly washed hair that why the detangling process will be easier but you dont have to. What I did was sectioned my hair in parts before applying my mixture. Once that was finished I put my conditioning cap on (if you don't have one you could always use a plastic bag you got at the store) and let it sit for about an hour (you could always let it sit on there for longer. Once the desired time is up wash it out. Apply your leave in conditioner and oils and then your good to go.

For the best results I would suggest deep conditioning weekly, especially if you have time.

Eco Styling Gel with olive oil

  Eco styling gel is a gel. It’s a gel with a hold of 10 (which is the max). This gel is alcohol free which means it is not supposed to dry out your hair. However, when using this product I recommend that you apply some type of oil underneath or your conditioner. That way your hair is protected from the gel and its being moisturized as your hair becomes harden. The suggested use for this gel for a wash-n-go is to wash your hair and apply this product on your hair while it is wet. However, my experience with this product left my hair feeling and looking like a jerry curl…you know the jerry curls from back in the day. What worked for me was using the gel half way. For example, pulling my hair back with a band and then applying the gel to the back of my hair. It gave my hair a more polished and nice look. Eco styling gel is good for slicking back those stubborn edges and it holds it down. To slick back your hair with this product I suggest using an old (or new) toothbrush or you...

If your going natural just because someone else is doing it, it may not be enough motivation to help you though the journey.

This may be a difficult task because there are products that work best for your relaxed ends but not your natural hair. What I used was oils. You don't have to buy expensive oils, you can use your household products like your olive oil or coconut oil. 3) Stay away from heat! The last thing you want to do is constantly be straightening your hair especially with heat. The part where your natural hair meets your relaxed hair is really fragile so you want to be careful when maintaining your hair. Heat can cause breakage, especially to that area. 4) Apply Mo...
