My affordable curly hair routine!! 🎀

After 4 years of being on a college student budget, this is my curly hair routine! I feel like this is good for anyone on a tight budget who has scalp/hair concerns similar to mine.

🫧Shampoo: #headandshoulders Royal Oils

- has apple cider vinegar and pyrithione zinc to control dandruff without stripping the hair/scalp. I love this cuz it was formulated with curly hair in mind. I follow up with a moisturizing shampoo more focused on the hair and ends.

- important to note the difference between dandruff and dry scalp. Dandruff is the result of too much oil on the scalp and an overgrowth of yeast called malassezia!

🧴Scalp Cream: Royal Oils Nighttime Scalp Tonic Lotion

- this product is a game changer when trying to control dandruff and itch, i dont see flakes for a couple days when using this. I put the cream throughout my scalp or in any visible parts.

🪮Leave In: #Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine

- this leave in is so affordable and melts into my hair like butter. This leave in hasn’t made my scalp break out into flakes at all. I thought this wouldn’t work for my hair texture but it does!

🎀Stylers: #asiam Classic Curling Jelly & #africanpride curling cream

- i use either one depending on my needs. The jelly is great in the warmer months and feels light, I dont have to worry about product buildup. The cream i start to use when it starts to get colder and my hair gets dryer.

💫Oil: Johnson’s #babyoil

- Ever since i was a kid i’ve been using baby oil!! I’ve tried out other more natural oils like tea tree, avocado, castor, etc, but they make my scalp flake up quickly. I like mineral oil surprisingly because the molecular size is actually too large to penetrate the skin, so it’s great to retain moisture in the skin and hair!
