Herbal Essences Naked Cleansing Conditioner, $4.99

From Target.com

This cleansing conditioner will leave your soft and feeling clean. This product doesn’t contain any sulfate, parabens, or colorants so it doesn’t dry out your hair. Initially, I heard about cleansing conditioners from infomercials for a high-end brand. After watching dozens of YouTube reviews, I gave this product a try. It works on both my relaxed hair and natural roots. Even though it doesn’t make traditional suds, it thoroughly cleans your hair. This product also works great on virgin hair extensions.

Suave Tropical Coconut Conditioner, $1.52

Drugstore.com

This conditioner is amazing. Not only can it be used any possible way you would need conditioner, but also it’s only 2 bucks. I use this conditioner as a wash out conditioner, leave in conditioner, and mixed with water to create a homemade setting spray. No matter how dry or damaged your hair is, this conditioner will make it feel soft and make it easier to detangle your hair.

VO5 Herbal Escapes Kiwi Lime Squeeze with Lemongrass Extract Clarifying shampoo, $1.29

From pharamapacks.com

Once or twice a month it is important that you use a clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoo will make sure all the bad pollutants are out of your hair. You should only use these products once (or twice) a month because overuse can lead to a dry scalp and brittle hair. I haven’t used this product on my natural hair, but it works wonders on my virgin hair extensions. It gets them very clean without stripping the hair. The only drawback to this shampoo is that it has sulfates.

Coconut Oil, $2.25

From Drugstore.com

Three dollars should buy you a good amount of coconut oil (not organic). Some of the many beauty use of coconut oil include a styling product, moisturizer for hair and skin, a deep conditioner, and body oil. Always keep a jar of this stuff at home, especially in the wintertime. If you have a problem dry ends this will make them look so much better.
