Natural Hair Products I'd Love To Try Out + Are They Worth It Though ?

I am a minimalist and a super frugal gyal. But sometimes when I am out shopping and going through the internet I see all these products and reviews and I'm like "dang , I would love to try that out" and then I see the price tag and I die a little inside.

Here are some products that I would definitely try out if I won the lottery or had a rich uncle somewhere or if it was available in my country or if I wasn't so frugal.  It's not only natural hair products , it's a combination because I'm cool with using non - natural products. As long as it works then I'm cool with it.

Let's just started before I go on and go .


  • Shea Moisture.


Now this hair care product line is probably the most popular EVER . When I detangled my locs every naturalista on Youtube was raving about shea moisture . It was on every YouTubers' "favourite products" video. And the reviews were mental!  I was at South Gate Mall with mommy and we were at the "What's New" section and when I saw their products I was jumping up and down untill I saw the prices.

Laaaawd !

Leave in conditioner for R239.95 ?

Shampoo for R219.95 ?

Hair Masque for R239.95 ?

Uuhh No Thanks.


  • Cantu Leave In Conditioner.


Here's another one that the internet raves about. Especially their gel , the internet has created a buzz about it and I'd looove to use their shea butter leave in conditioner because shea butter is the truth.  Their leave in is very small but pricey . It's 159.95

Uuuuh . . . Will I retain the moisture for the whole month?


  • Twisted Sista Shampoo.


Patty Phattty was raving like crazy about this shampoo back then . She claimed that it's semi - natural and makes hair shiny. And on the video I noticed that her locs weren't frizzy , they looked like super soft and smooth ropes. I saw this shampoo at Clicks and yeah the prices are a bit reasonable . It's kind of pricey


  • Hello Hydrations Conditioner.


A lot of naturalistas claim that it has A LOT of slip whoop whooop so I really want to try this out to detangle my beautiful coils. I think it is available in South Africa but I am sure that the price is crazy.


  • Afro Botanics Black Pearl Hair Jelly.

I am slightly obsessed with gel these days because I love slicking down my fly aways. I thought I should try out this gel but the price turned me off. And there are tons of of other gels that are good for our hair and are at half the price. 

This is like a natural hair wishlist and I figured I should share .

Some of these prices are hella crazy and it's like these people weren't considerate of us . They do realize that they are selling their products in a developING country right? And yes I get that they have to make a profit and so on but gosh are you kidding me.

I don't mind buying a pricey product for my hair that would work amazingly well but fam there are tons of affordable products that can still get the job done.

At the end of it all , it doesn't matter how expensive or how raved the product is but if you can't use it then it's not going to work for you .  Focus on technique/ingredients rather than products.

The Urge To Color My Natural Hair...

If you have been following me for a while then you probably know that my hair has been through a lot. I have had a terrible dye job and there was   too much damage so I had to cut my hair and go back to a TWA, my hair grew back eventually and I had to cut it back into a TWA again because I still had the rough, damaged and porous ends. My hair is growing consistently now and I have incorporated protective styles and I have minimal breakage and it's great. I love it however I have been going through Instagram and I always see all of these pictures with people and their beautiful dyed natural hair and that is enough to make me want to run to the nearest supermarket and buy some dye and color my hair... then I remember what I went through with the first dye job... My first dye job was terrible but I love switching up my hair. I love experimenting. I don't ever want to feel tired with my hair. I love my jet black hair, don't get me wrong, however sometimes I just want a po

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

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

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
