Cheapie But Goodie Oils For Natural Hair


Moisturizing is the best thing you can ever do to your tresses. Moisture helps soften our hair and most importantly it reduces breakage and allows you to grow your hair long and healthy because your ends won't be breaking faster than your hair is growing.

However you can moisturise all you like but if you are not sealing all that moisture with an oil , then you are just wasting your time. Oils are super important in a healthy hair journey.

I have five favourite oil combinations that you can use if you are not a mixtress and you want to reap the benefits of the expensive oils but at half the price.

  • Olive Miracle By African Pride


If you want heaven in a bottle filled with nutrients and different types of oils you can buy olive miracle by African pride.  I don't like the smell but it can get the job done. I like to mask the smell with one of my favourite essential oils and I use it to seal in the moisture. This mixture has oils from the basic Olive Oil to the super expensive Horse Tail oil. I buy it at Clicks for R 38. 95. However I think it's much cheaper at Shoprite.


  • Ultimate Organic Therapy Olive Oil Growth Oil Moisturizer . 



Anything that has olive oil is good for our hair right ? Yeah seems so . This product claims to strengthen your hair , I'm not sure if it has hydrolyzed protein or not , either way you can get it at Clicks for R34.49

  • Dark And Lovely Olive Oil Moisturizer. 

Dark and Lovely never disappoints and you can get this oil at Clicks for R23.95 the prices varies when you buy it on the internet. 

  • Aunt Jackie's Nourish My Hair Flaxseed And Manoi Growth Oil. 

I have already used their detangler , deep conditioner and their curling custard  which are great and their fragrances are probably another reason why I am recommending this oil . It's kinda  affordable so who am I to complain ? Get it at Clicks or online.

  • Mera Alma Oil


It's not one of the best smelling oils on the market but with so many wonderful ingredients like Amla which helps to give your hair some shine and it also makes hair healthier ,  why won't you try it out ? And it also performs the same task as the other oils : it seals in the moisture. It's easily available at Shoprite and Pick n Pay.

  • Dabur Vatika Coconut Hair Oil .

They have a wide variety of oils to choose from coconut oil to sweet almond oil. The brand is scarce but the oils are affordable. 


  • Au Naturale Soak It Up Oil Cocktail .

Their knot out conditioner is A1. It's a relatively new line from Dark and Lovely (I stand corrected) and their products are mostly natural . The fragrances they use are hella mega so this probably smells like a garden in a bottle. You can find it at Clicks and Dischem .  

  • Afro Botanics African Oil Blend.

I'm a fan of their shea butter super growth creme and their protein treatment. However I haven't tried out their oil . They sell 95% natural products and I know some naturals are strictly-natural so I figured I should include it and you can find it at Clicks or Game Stores. 


  • My Natural Hair Strengthening Oil .

I love their clarifying shampoo and leave in conditioner. They are also 95% natural which means that their products are kind of pricey. However if that doesn't faze you then you can buy the oil at Clicks for R95.95.

Steep , I know.

And if everything fails then you can pop into the grocery store and buy you some EVOO , castor oil , grapeseed or whichever oil you prefer. 

And yes I am going to keep on saying this !  You  👏  do  👏  not  👏  need  👏  everything     👏  in  👏  the  👏  beauty  👏  supply  👏   store. You just need something that will work for you and do not fall for all the hype.

Remember when coconut oil stopped wars? Saved some people's marriages? Brought back lost lovers? 

Now almost every naturalista DETESTS coconut oil.. Ehhh. 

So you need to find what works for you.

BTW stay posted for more cheapie but goodie DCs , styling tools and so much more. Have you checked out the affordable alternatives for shampoos right here ? 

Do you know of any other affordable oils? Share them in the comments section below. 

I'd love to hear from you.

Hello?

I hope there are still people outchea because I have been M. I. A but I promise that I have a good excuse : I'm in university now! 2017 was my gap year and that is why I could keep up with my weekly uploads but now that everything has been switched up and a lot has happened in a short space of time like emotional, financial, mental, physical stress and a little bit of drama 🙄. I had to take a digital cleanse and concentrate on some other things because they required most of my time and attention. I had to move to the North West and I had to adapt to the location, language, weather and a new schedule and I literally had no time to do anything besides study and do all my chores.  One thing that has drastically changed is the way I handle my finances. My disposable income is next to nothing because I have so many expenses and I have to cut corners in my natural hair regimen in order to keep my sanity and money and I figured that I'm not the only student going through this ...

How I Trim My Natural Hair

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram then you have probably seen that I have been rocking a mini puff and I'm excited that my hair is growing like a weed but I have to pull myself back and remind myself that I need a trim. As much as I love my current length I also have to trim my hair because a delayed trim can make me go back to a TWA in a matter of minutes because I would have to cut the damage that traveled all the way up my strands and so to avoid that I need to trim. Oh by the way, my hair is in the awkward stage and I have been incorporating a couple of protective styles. There are a few ways to trim your natural hair. I used two methods that are quite popular. I make sure to detangle small sections and I used : Spritz bottle Leave in conditioner Detangle brush Pik .. After detangling a section I spritz some water on my hair and apply a bit of leave in conditioner and rake it through my fingers and then I use my detangling brush to further detangle. I lost ...

Update : My Health And Confidence Journey + Going Vegan

Happy new year beautiful people , I know I'm late but I hope it still counts. A few days ago I made my way to the gym and I just felt strange , like I was lacking something  , I'm pretty sure you know that feeling , it's that feeling when it feels like you the only person noticing the change and everyone doesn't see anything and you go around asking people "do you see it though" , that is exactly how I felt a couple of days ago. I made my way to the gym and after my workout I took a warm steamy shower and I felt uneasy when I saw my shadow. I looked a bit closer and questioned myself like : " could it be ? " and I looked a bit closer and I finally found why I felt peculiar that day . My thighs aren't touching anymore , they touch just a little near my pelvic area though , and my muffin top is getting smaller. I also couldn't believe it. All that hard work is finally paying off. I have also noticed a difference in my back and my ri...

Let's Talk About My Naps + Searching For My Staple Products.

A couple of days ago I was compiling a topic list and as I was going through it , I realized that I have all these topics where I share my views and recommendations but you really don't know much about my hair and I have a natural hair blog 😳 . . . Oh well , today I took out the time to talk about my naps and I figured that this would be important if you are wondering what my hair texture is and if our hair would react differently/similar to certain products. The most important thing is probably texture so I have multiple textures on my head. I have only described my hair as coily and that doesn't really tell you much because some people with looser textures describe their hair as coily. So my hair is : 3c at the nape / maybe my coils are a little looser there. I have cut a couple of curls back there because I thought that it was heat damage . I'm still not sure if my coils are a  looser 4b coil or they are actually 3c. I'm on the fence about this. 4a at the b...
