Question

Budget related question .  Does anyone make their own hair care products?Budget related question . Does anyone make their own hair care products? I have curly hair and use high end products but wondering if I can make something that’s natural and more cost effective.  

Answer 1

I did curly girl and used VO5 products that really worked. The shampoo and conditioner are 77 cents each at Walmart. I alternated the clarifying shampoo and the moisturizing one with the strawberries on it. It was recommended on a curly girl page I followed. For a deep condition I used some of the conditioner with olive oil and did that once a week and it nourished my hair well. I don’t have tight curls but I have wavy hair and this worked best for me. Not necessarily natural but still free of harsh parabens, silicones and drying alcohols

Answer 2

Hi, have you tried the “curly girl method”?

@mayes I do the curly girl method but I’m looking for natural products.

@mayes not to hijack this post but I just started looking into cgm (literally like last night)- do you follow it? If so can we chat!?  

---

@visit I follow the cgm. Just need the right products to use with it.  

---

@visit yes, but i live in argentina, i don’t know if i could help (we don’t have the same hair products that you have in the states).  

---

@mayes I’ve seen in some posts on different groups for curly hair about making your own shampoo and conditioner. Not sure if anyone in this group does that.

@cordite815 i know a girl who tried to use baking soda to wash her hair. She didn’t like it. She is washing her hair with coconut soap

In the curly girl FB groups, I've heard of curly girls using apple cider vinegar to cleanse, rice water rinse for deep conditioning treatment (I think), and making your own gel from flax seeds. You'd have to some research on the exact steps, but that might get you started!

I know the Curly Gurl Curly Girl (Method) Support Group International has a list of files for DIY hair care!

Unleash Your curl. For dry and curly hair. 1 banana+ 3 tbs honey + 1 egg + 5 tbs olive Oil. Apply, you have to cover it with a cap for 15/30 minutes . Then Wash it with shampoo
