Naturalista on a budget? - 6 FAB Products under $10

Calling
All
Naturals
w/ Curls, Coils & Kinks


Hey natural hair money savers! That's right... all products listed below are $10 and under w/ tax! I don't know about you but I love saving money & I know if you are reading this then you desire to have fab hair without breaking the bank. Good news is it can easily be done & I will share with you my favorite effective natural hair products for a naturalista on a budget. I have learned that cheap doesn't always equal incompetent products. I don't think there is anything wrong with naturals who have those few pricey products (guilty!) however majority of my products are super affordable and I know a lot of people are on super saving money mode. As always these products are based upon my natural texture hair and what works for one may not work for another; although these products are so affordable if they happen to not work for you - bless someone else by passing the product along.  I hope by me doing my research it will help you decide which products to try!
