3 steps to healthy hair without breaking your budget
Hair, hair, hair. It’s all about hair, and it makes sense, because our hair is our crown. Yet getting healthy hair on a budget can feel impossible. We get judged by our hair and envied for it. So in most cases, we spend a fortune on it and still aren’t happy.

We’ve heard stories from our mothers, and from their mothers, about how to perfect our hair. Even today, we’re still trying to find the perfect formula. This post shares 3 critical tips for all our sisters, from relaxed hair to natural and everything in between. They are for anyone who loves their crown and wants it to shine for as long as possible.
3 steps to healthy hair on a budget
1. Cleanse
This is more than a simple wash. You know that refreshed feeling you have after washing your hair? Making that feeling last as long as you can is the cleansing aspect. Your haircare regime has to include a shampoo, a treatment mask and a scalp base that doesn’t damage your hair. However, the base can’t be so oily that it forms a greasy layer on your head.
2. Moisturise
Speaking of greasy, this step is where everyone gets it wrong. Ethnic hair, whether relaxed or natural, does not need oil dripping off it. Nor should it leave a big greasy mark wherever you dare to lay your head. Yes, you know what I’m talking about.
Remember getting into a taxi and seeing that giant round mark on the window? That person took moisturising too seriously. Instead, our goal is to find a combination of products that lasts a long time. At the same time, it shouldn’t make it impossible to rest our heads anywhere.
3. Protect
The last step should need the least maintenance, because moisturising should have done most of the work for you. It should be a simple spray 3 times a week, or more depending on what you prefer. Your hair care range should protect your hair against dust and the sun, and also support hair growth. It sounds like a lot. But it is possible to find all that without needing to rob a bank.
Simple daily habits matter too. For example, the American Academy of Dermatology shares simple tips for keeping hair healthy day to day.
Conclusion: healthy hair on a budget is possible
While those 3 steps may look simple, most of us have probably followed them with no success. Either our hair is too brittle and breaks off as the comb runs through it, or our scalp looks like someone sprinkled salt on it, very generously.
Luckily, our hair guru Ndo saw this problem. She used her own hair for experiments and developed the deluxe hair care kit, which consists of 5 premium products. Each of these products has a multi-effect. For example, the Jamaican castor oil not only moisturises your dry scalp, but its pure properties also have a cleansing effect on your scalp. Similarly, the hair detangling spray coats each strand of hair. As a result, it moisturises your hair and helps protect it from losing any more moisture.
Remember this for your mother and your mother’s mother, who have been looking for this powerful combination of products far longer than you.
