Same to you! Your hair looked great! I should try this. You're right; it is only expensive if you make it that way. Before I had a million kids, I was making my products from home, and now I no longer have the money to do that. Just for my oils only. So back to cheaper products it is. Totally fine with me, I love Blue Magic!
Happy Holidays Dear!!🎄⛄♥️😍 BLESSINGS, PEACE AND CONTINUOUS PROSPERITY. Your hair always looks fabulous. I have been using Blue Magic products since I was a toddler. The old way, is the best way😇
8 completely agree. And everyone's hair is so different. I spentma lot in the early days but now I have my staples and I'm good. I wouldn't have found my staples without trying things because these are not what I was using when I first went natural.
This was the hardest thing for me!!!! “Learning what works best….” For my hair took me THREE rounds before I stuck to my transition to natural I have so much hair stuff it’s RIDICULOUS! Fast forward post COVID my hair began to fall out 11/21 and I was so depressed I didn’t know what else to do after trying my norms of protein treatments, deep conditioning hair masks, loc, lco methods a BUNCH of other stuff and NOTHING was working…. I simply Just switched back to blue magic super gro, the regular blue magic , and the one with castor oil a week or so ago and my hair is LOVING IT!!!!!! NO LIE!!!!! It’s greasy tho but hey I’ll take it! #backto the BASICS!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾👐🏾
I feel like I made natural hair expensive cause I would buy almost everything and every product that people would recommend. Not I stick to mane and tail shampoo & conditioner and blue magic leave in and grease. Makes my hair care so much easier and cost effective
@@funmi5653 I’ve never tried that kind. I always use herbal gro. But I am using the gentle mane and tail today. And it smells really good and the ingredients and descriptions look promising
People use to laugh at me because I swore by the .99 suave conditioner abs shampoo for YEARS!!! and my hair was bra strap length with NO ISSUES I no longer use it because my hair is much different now from what all it’s been through but baby listen that lil .99 was good for me , people have to understand EVERYBODY hair is different so we all have to use what works for us…. Some of us can be cheap and some can’t just like skincare some of us are oily where others are dry or even have combination skin 🤷🏾♀️ it’s all about personalization and not following the trends😌
Natural hair is expensive to me because companies are tapping into the black hair community. They want to sell their products at the highest cost and the lowest volume. When I was relaxed, the kit came with shampoo, conditioner and leave in. Now that I’m natural, shampoos come in an 8oz bottle for 15.00-20.00 dollars. I usually buy suave, Pantene, tressemme and trader’s Joe’s nourish spa shampoo and conditioner. They are cheap and come in 32oz bottles for 5.00-8.00 dollars.
That Trader Joe's Nourish shampoo n conditioner is so bomb. If you ever get the itchy scalp, try the tea tree. I've been using it for over 10 years and I swear by it.
I love Tresemmé! That's all my mum bought along with head and shoulders when I was younger, after all the "natural" hair products ruined my scalp, I'm back. With more money in my wallet, more moisture in my hair and a happier scalp.
I agree. And when you have thick and or long hair, those little 8 oz bottles aren't cost effective. I use White rain or Suave for co wash and Palmers deep conditioner.
I must admit once I started transitioning I fell into all the hype and used all kinds of growth oils !😫 not to say they didn’t work because I do have proof they indeed work! It’s just when you come across a video that reminds you of what your mom use to do to your hair back in the day a simple shampoo, grease, and braids was all it took for my hair; I don’t even think there was conditioner back then 🤷🏾♀️ (showing my age )🥴😂 it all makes since! No need for the expensive 2oz bottles lasting only a month or two when you can go spend $4-$5 for a jar that will last even longer with greater benefits #Teambluemagic💙💙💙
I know for a fact that we did not use conditioner! Hair was thick and healthy! I’m showing my age too but it just goes to show, it don’t take all that extra stuff 😃
I am a product junkie, girl😃, but I make most of my products. I turn my back yard into a herb garden, so I make a lot of oils, butters, conditioners, even shampoos with hibiscus. I also make pomades, that's when I spend the most. Pray for me.
Shout out from Jamaica! You have really nice hair 😊 natural hair can be expensive if we only use store bought products ..especially if we are not sticking to a particular set products and we just buy everything as they are promoted.
I don’t think natural hair is expensive but i spend a lot on my staple products, cuz i buy frequently. I wash my own hair once a week it’s short, armpit length. But my daughter’s hair is Tailbone length and my wife’s hair is waist length, they wash less frequently because they wear mini braids 90% of the time. But when they do wash 😤 products DONE‼️😂
Natural hair doesn’t have to be expensive but you can make it that way. Natural black owned products are like $15 and up and everybody can’t afford that. I feel like those products sell because it has natural ingredients but the outcome doesn’t necessarily mean you will like them. I did the whole clean silicone free thing and detangling became harder and the definition wasn’t to my liking. A lot of end results on UA-cam with these products are mediocre to me. My hair is always highly defined and it never fully silicone free products. I actually started sealing in my leave in with grease and seals the definition in before my styler.
Don't sleep on cholesterol! I personally use tallow and chebe butter, which is all cholesterol on my high porosity hair and it's a game changer. It's reminded me how important cholesterol is for my routine. And for this product to be so affordable, why not? Blue magic greases are also a game changer for me and my edges lately!
Right. Afro textures need those fatty lipids from cholesterol. That's missing in most of these new age products. I like Queen Helene better though. Th I s blue magic one was trash.
I have been natural almost 8 years but I have only been on a healthy hair journey since 2019. My issue is the variety of products you have to choose from as a natural 🥺 and it’s the company’s that used to (or still do) sell relaxers. They create a collection with 20 products with Shea butter, coconut oil, Chebe powder, rice water, cocoa butter shit they know black people like and it’ll be in brown or black or gold packaging smmfh it can be so confusing and get expensive
First off I stopped by, because hunny your skin is just gorgeous sis! Secondly, natural hair isn’t expensive. People need to learn how to use products better. Your cleanser is so important, and if your hair is actually clean, you can use less conditioner because your hair can actually absorb it! I also think if companies would concentrate on making more concrete formulas, instead of making a new line every 2 seconds would be great. Especially when all they’ve done, was change an oil or 2, plus the packaging!
I believe the expense comes in when you’re learning your hair type and when you’re trying to change your curl pattern. Once you accept your hair and learn to love it the way it is, then you can begin learning what works best for it. Also, if you stick to products using the healthiest ingredients for your hair, you can learn to budget your money and the amount of product you use. It’s all in stride.
Oh thank goodness… yes I have and am spending a TON of money listening to way too many videos in an attempt to find what works for my hair. If I cld just find what works for my hair I wld be delighted. I don’t know 🤷 what or which way to turn .🥺
I AM SO HAPPY that you tried it and it worked for your hair here in the states it is $2.99 a jar Blue Magic products are the BUSINESS!!!!!!!! and budget friendly I can't wait for you to try the other conditioners I had recommended. I do sit under the dryer for 15 mins and my hair feels like butter.
You're so beautiful, I love your voice, your accent and your flawless beautiful hair, thank you for bringing up the blue magic family, I didn't know they have all of these varieties, I only remember the blue hair grease as a child, I went ahead and purchased this one and just with one use it seems to have left my hair so manageable and shiny. I will continue using it, I almost paid $12.99 on Amazon and decided to go to a beauty store and my goodness Amazon charges 4 times expensier.
Hello, I was looking up some of the ingredients in hair care products and found carcinogenic ingredients in some. Before purchasing hair care products check the ingredients; do your homework, share!!!
I use Mane and Tale shampoo, conditioner, and detangling spray. I also use petroleum jelly to grease my scalp. That is all. I also own a good wet brush which makes detangling easy.
I agree with you. When finding a new product yes. However, sometimes companies get sold and the formula changes. This happened to me. Also I realized that certain products were dying out my hair so I started making my own products and I have 3 brands I stick to.
Although this Blue Magic cholesterol was trash on my hair I am a HUGE fan of cholesterol treatments for afro textured hair. They are cheap and game changing. Queen Helene cholesterol is what I use and it's BOMB and cheap! Don't sleep on regular cholesterol treatments it will turn your hair around. Just find the right one for you and you will never turn back. These new age products are drying and damaging people's hair and scalp. Cholesterol helps with dry scalp too. Afro hair needs those fatty lipids from cholesterol.
The good lord knew not to give me hair like yours because I would be a whole stuck up bish out here in these streets😆 And because my God knew that, he instead gave it to my daughter. Luckily she’s much more humble than her momma 😛Thank you for making videos. You have helped me so much with caring for my daughter hair especially since it’s so thick like yours.
God does want to give you hair like that . You just never asked him to show you how to grow and maintain your hair. Also your mindset would need to change as well very important. He wants you to be a humble woman of God and a proverbs 31 woman for sure 👍. He wants to give you blessings upon Blessings but your not in the position or mindset to receive them because you can't handle them .
@@apologeticministry Ok that’s a backhanded compliment but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you mean well😉 First off, I was joking WITH EMPRESS✋🏾 Secondly, you are assuming that I don’t know how to maintain my hair and that I don’t have much hair. Thirdly, you speak of my humility without knowing me from a can of paint. I can wholeheartedly tell you that you are not qualified to tell me what my God will and will not bless me with. Worry about your own spiritual endeavors. For the record, I am very blessed and highly favored in all that I seek because I am a child of God and I don’t go around misjudging people that I don’t know on the internet. You need to go and repent because your comment was not Christian like at all.

It used to be expensive for me in the beginning because I didn’t know what I was doing and thought I needed the most expensive products to achieve healthy strong hair. But as time went on and I started to learn my hair i’ve actually went back to using cheaper products. V05 shampoo and conditioner, crece pelo deep conditioner, african pride oil and moisturizer, and the $1 softee grease from the dollar tree.
Cholesterol (Fat) = Moisturize Protein = Strengthen and Rebuild protein bonds in hair. *The tighter your curl pattern - the more moisture and hydration you need to enhance the elasticity(sign of healthy hair) in your hair. *The tigher your hair pattern you need less protein. Because, type 4 is very coarse and strong. So, too much protein will break your hair. So, every 3 to 4 months is more then enough. It's best to use a protein after, straightening (applying heat) your hair.
Black girls hair Roc !!! yes 💞 beautiful hair am glad i found someone with much thinker hair than mine and I can't find hair stylist who wants to just straightening my hair they say to much course to long so I just wear it in bun or ponytail but I will try this fabulous 🖤 hair products thank you
I think it can be if you buy a lot of things. Some people think that their hair gets tired of products so they always have to find something to replace their staples.
I just discovered your channel and I am in love. You sound like a Trini and a Bajan in one and that is a compliment. Much love from another Caribbean sister. 😘
I’ve wasted so much money on extraordinarily marketed products😂 yo! It’s crazy how I feel like I’ve been robbed of my and damn hair from trying all of this ish!!! When all the while, blue magic grease and ol’ shregular cholesterol conditioner would’ve continued to get the job done. It’s funny how I search cholesterol conditioner and then you popped up first! I Lol because of the title! I knew You was already gone make me laugh about this😂 Natural hair is not expensive, the products we chose to subscribe to are. And before we can finish those we’ve already order a completely different product 😂
I think Natural hair is expensive because we're trying to keep our dollars with the black owned business who can't afford to sell their products at $5.00 yet. When they do get to that standard they begin to sell and bam the recipe changes so some people( including myself) try to find something else that works for us with better ingredients. Now I have 3 heads of hair and I'm trying to find 1 brand or 1 product that works on all of our hair. My daughter has midback/waist length hair at 3 and baby a deep conditioner from TGIN only last 3 washes for her head alone but if I have to wash mine and my son hair it gone that day and that stuff $17. My hair is armpit length and I can typically get about 4 washes out on my head if I'm the only one using the jar.
Personally, I combine diy products with affordable products. If there's an ingredient that I find is working wonders for my hair, I'll get that ingredient and use it in a diy product. That's how I save money. Then I'll get affordable products to work around my diy stuff. For example, I make all my oils and butters. I don't buy premade oils and butters-unless I just need some traditional hair grease or mineral oil for something, which costs very little. My favorite shampoo is $5. It doesn't have to be expensive. But it can be if you want all natural products made for you.
I been looking for this!!!Remembering how good it was back in the day but couldn't find it in no store.. But now.. Gonna search that and buy online... thanks 😊 👍
When I first went natural I was a total Pj. I owned every hcp at walgreens. For the last 3 years I've stuck to texture ID and blue magic so it's no longer expensive.
Yes your hair is AWESOME!!! Natural hair gets expensive when you start trying all of these different products. Then yes expensive. But you answered this the same. Btw Happy Holidays!
Look at those beautiful curls 🥰🥰 I’ve had to really find what works for my hair by buying everything! Everyone hair is different and texture does make a difference in the products as well as utensils you use for your hair. I’ve finally settled on L’Oréal elvive for damaged hair products bcuz I used a lot of heat not that my hair was damaged in any way and my hair responds very well and I also use whole blends honey hair mask . 🥰🥰
If you have natural hair you should use this but ALWAYS also use a natural homemade product🥴, I use my own home made products to make shampoos and conditioners and face masks and creams . From childhood my mom shopped in the store for shampoos and conditioners, but making your own is the best way! Use coconuts oils or olive , grape seed , jojoba. Whatever you want !
It’s only expensive or pricey to me bc I’m a product junkie. There are some nice in-store brands that aren’t expensive. But 90% of my stash is small black owners businesses that aren’t in stores and their prices can be a little up there. I just wait for a sale and buy multiples.
My first time seeing you on UA-cam . ..I really like you ....and your hair is beautiful..you have my dream hair I love it. You have a new fan from Bronx NY 🤗
During the natural hair trend when it was really taking off (2012-2015) I spent a lot of money on expensive products, like butters, leave ins, hair masks, serums, etc. Now I don't really use butters anymore like I used to, I detangle my hair with cheap conditioner, use suave shampoo and deep condition with one of those pump bottle conditioner from the drugstore. I just oil my scalp and put leave in on and twist. Low maintenance with less products has really been helping me plus it fits my busy schedule.
@@lynns5903 I've been natural since 1977. Before all the products showed up....and my hair thrives. So I do know a little something-something. You do you boo.
@@lynns5903 and yet you are the only one that has an issue. Most folks either take advice from the comments or ignore it. You can feel free to ignore it. My comments may be helpful to some, even if it isn't for you. Have a blessed day.
To start natural hair was expensive for me because I had to buy everything from products, tools, satin bonnets, silk pillow cases, bonnet dryer, steamer and more products. Now that I have all the essentials and I only need to replace the products I love AND I now can do my own hair for special occasions I think natural hair is more cost effective.
I think that at first it was expensive because I wanted to do and use every single product recommended. Now it is no more expensive because I have a minimalistic routine with local affordable products that do the job.
I was trying every natural hair product under the sun I recently gave a lot of them away because I wasn’t using them. So now I just stick to regular conditioner and shampoo deep condition leave in conditioner and then within the week I just use a very thick hair moisturizer or cream in water and hair grease. And that’s just like a variety of like Indian him hair grease BB hair grease or crown royal hair grease and there’s other things including with water that seems to work best for me. Not all those expensive oils that I can barely afford
My late mom always used cholesterol on her hair. Her hair was amazing 😍 she bleached her hair for years to a platinum blonde. Thank you for the video ☺️
Hair product manufacturers make it look as if when don't use their products our hair won't thrive. They do this to sell their products and we fall for it. We've had natural hair since our childhood when we never had all these products. What happened to those times? We are so gullible
Natural hair is not expensive. It turns expensive when you want to use products every Tom, Dick and Harry uses. If you stick to what suits you it is not expensive.
Natural hair is very expensive. I don’t believe there is no way around it to be honest. Even after you buy different products and eventually find out what your hair likes (which could take months to a year or so) , you have to maintain that. You always have different styles that require certain products. Your basic moisturizing set ( leave in and cream/butter) won’t work for a blow Out or perm rod set or twist/braid out. Some products can be used for multiple purposes but most aren’t. You always have different seasons and air humidity depending on where you live. What you do in the summer may or may not be the same as winter. Then you have the range of quality of products. Some good ones are at $5-$7 while others are $20-$30 per bottle. If you style weekly then you using all the products and oils more often causing you to purchase again. Not to mention that some products are good stand alone but in combination with other products causes clumps.
I have a problem keeping my hair moisturized when in a protective style. I mainly use hair grease,leave in to moisturize and oil for my scalp . How do I keep my protective style moisturized ?
@@celiafeliciano3894 Yes they can, two possible ways that I know of so far. 1. The products that you apply might not be getting into your hair properly because they're getting wasted on the added hair too. (So maybe soaking your entire head is the way to go before sealing, instead of spritzing water on the outer layers of your braids). 2. There's an alkaline coating on the hair or the hair synthetic hair is made of an alkaline material (either way it's the reason some people itch), alkaline pH raises hair cuticles so moisture can be lost from the hair(possible fix: some people do an vinegar rinse on the hair and then moisturise and seal the hair so it doesn't take moisture from their hair) Furthermore there is friction between your hair and the added hair as you go about daily life, plus the dryness, it shreds our ends over time, but it's more noticeable with people with fine strands. I dropped added hair in my braids and started using grease too and the thickness of my fine hair is more preserved.
I stopped using cholesterol. I was using the olive oil one and it has DMDM hydantoin in it. It’s formaldehyde. It was making my hair fall out and other brands of products with that ingredient got shunned by its users after the discovery of the ingredient.
Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life John3 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life
My hair becomes a spider web when it gets wet. What solution do you have for me. My hair is fine. Does not take oils. Breaks at the tip which is extra fine. Just wash last night and I was ready to chop the whole thing off. Washed 1 month ago. Keep in protive style. Moisturize with water n oil evey couple of days. H E L P
Try putting conditioner in your hair and detangle in sections before you get to washing it. Then keep your sections as you continue to wash your hair. If nothing else works, try locs. Your hair may flourish with them.
I'm confused! At the beginning, it looked like your hair was short, & then you put a wig on, but maybe it's because of the way you had your hair pinned up, towards the back of your head! However, that's a lot of hair to hide! Don't know how you did it, but yours or not, that hair is fabulous! It looks dope on you!

You're so beautiful, I love your voice, your accent and your flawless beautiful hair, thank you for bringing up the blue magic family, I didn't know they have all of these varieties, I only remember the blue hair grease as a child, I went ahead and purchased this one and just with one use it seems to have left my hair so manageable and shiny. I will continue using it, I almost paid $12.99 on Amazon and decided to go to a beauty store and my goodness Amazon charges 4 times expensier.
Hello, I was looking up some of the ingredients in hair care products and found carcinogenic ingredients in some. Before purchasing hair care products check the ingredients; do your homework, share!!!
I use Mane and Tale shampoo, conditioner, and detangling spray. I also use petroleum jelly to grease my scalp. That is all. I also own a good wet brush which makes detangling easy.
I agree with you. When finding a new product yes. However, sometimes companies get sold and the formula changes. This happened to me. Also I realized that certain products were dying out my hair so I started making my own products and I have 3 brands I stick to.
Do you sell them anywhere?
Exactly
Although this Blue Magic cholesterol was trash on my hair I am a HUGE fan of cholesterol treatments for afro textured hair. They are cheap and game changing. Queen Helene cholesterol is what I use and it's BOMB and cheap! Don't sleep on regular cholesterol treatments it will turn your hair around. Just find the right one for you and you will never turn back. These new age products are drying and damaging people's hair and scalp. Cholesterol helps with dry scalp too. Afro hair needs those fatty lipids from cholesterol.
The good lord knew not to give me hair like yours because I would be a whole stuck up bish out here in these streets😆 And because my God knew that, he instead gave it to my daughter. Luckily she’s much more humble than her momma 😛Thank you for making videos. You have helped me so much with caring for my daughter hair especially since it’s so thick like yours.
God does want to give you hair like that . You just never asked him to show you how to grow and maintain your hair. Also your mindset would need to change as well very important. He wants you to be a humble woman of God and a proverbs 31 woman for sure 👍. He wants to give you blessings upon Blessings but your not in the position or mindset to receive them because you can't handle them .
@@apologeticministry Ok that’s a backhanded compliment but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you mean well😉 First off, I was joking WITH EMPRESS✋🏾 Secondly, you are assuming that I don’t know how to maintain my hair and that I don’t have much hair. Thirdly, you speak of my humility without knowing me from a can of paint. I can wholeheartedly tell you that you are not qualified to tell me what my God will and will not bless me with. Worry about your own spiritual endeavors. For the record, I am very blessed and highly favored in all that I seek because I am a child of God and I don’t go around misjudging people that I don’t know on the internet. You need to go and repent because your comment was not Christian like at all.
Stop lying
@@sharonanderson9584 Actually it is YOU who should stop lying, "Sharon", if that is your real name. A little honesty goes a long way, "Sharon". You should try it some time "Sharon". You are building a web of lies and soon you will be tangled up in it, unable to escape. You are going down a slippery slope and all it takes is one slip up before you snowball out of control, Sharon. Every move you make brings you closer to your downfall. Repent before its too late Sharon, or should I say REBECCA...
😂😂😂😂
It used to be expensive for me in the beginning because I didn’t know what I was doing and thought I needed the most expensive products to achieve healthy strong hair.
But as time went on and I started to learn my hair i’ve actually went back to using cheaper products. V05 shampoo and conditioner, crece pelo deep conditioner, african pride oil and moisturizer, and the $1 softee grease from the dollar tree.
Cholesterol (Fat) = Moisturize
Protein = Strengthen and Rebuild protein bonds in hair.
*The tighter your curl pattern - the more moisture and hydration you need to enhance the elasticity(sign of healthy hair) in your hair.
*The tigher your hair pattern you need less protein. Because, type 4 is very coarse and strong. So, too much protein will break your hair. So, every 3 to 4 months is more then enough. It's best to use a protein after, straightening (applying heat) your hair.
No it's not I use blue magic products and water on a regular and LOVE IT !!! Simplicity at it's finest
I was brought up using Cholesterol, not Blue Magic though. Everyone used it back then and we didn't complain. Your hair looks great!
Black girls hair Roc !!! yes 💞 beautiful hair am glad i found someone with much thinker hair than mine and I can't find hair stylist who wants to just straightening my hair they say to much course to long so I just wear it in bun or ponytail but I will try this fabulous 🖤 hair products thank you
I think it can be if you buy a lot of things. Some people think that their hair gets tired of products so they always have to find something to replace their staples.
Hmmm I'll have to try this out!!! I've gone back to blue magic because of you. My curly hair flourishes!!! Can't believe I stopped using it!
I just discovered your channel and I am in love. You sound like a Trini and a Bajan in one and that is a compliment. Much love from another Caribbean sister. 😘
I’ve wasted so much money on extraordinarily marketed products😂 yo! It’s crazy how I feel like I’ve been robbed of my and damn hair from trying all of this ish!!! When all the while, blue magic grease and ol’ shregular cholesterol conditioner would’ve continued to get the job done. It’s funny how I search cholesterol conditioner and then you popped up first! I Lol because of the title! I knew You was already gone make me laugh about this😂
Natural hair is not expensive, the products we chose to subscribe to are. And before we can finish those we’ve already order a completely different product 😂
I think Natural hair is expensive because we're trying to keep our dollars with the black owned business who can't afford to sell their products at $5.00 yet. When they do get to that standard they begin to sell and bam the recipe changes so some people( including myself) try to find something else that works for us with better ingredients. Now I have 3 heads of hair and I'm trying to find 1 brand or 1 product that works on all of our hair. My daughter has midback/waist length hair at 3 and baby a deep conditioner from TGIN only last 3 washes for her head alone but if I have to wash mine and my son hair it gone that day and that stuff $17. My hair is armpit length and I can typically get about 4 washes out on my head if I'm the only one using the jar.
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Happy new year to everyone that watching with me and keep safe you and your family
I wish you had showed us your hair once it dried. That bit of knowledge is helpful. Your crown is magnificent!
Love your hair and complexion!!!! But you know you are just GENETICALLY blessed sis!!!
Personally, I combine diy products with affordable products. If there's an ingredient that I find is working wonders for my hair, I'll get that ingredient and use it in a diy product. That's how I save money. Then I'll get affordable products to work around my diy stuff. For example, I make all my oils and butters. I don't buy premade oils and butters-unless I just need some traditional hair grease or mineral oil for something, which costs very little. My favorite shampoo is $5. It doesn't have to be expensive. But it can be if you want all natural products made for you.
I been looking for this!!!Remembering how good it was back in the day but couldn't find it in no store.. But now.. Gonna search that and buy online... thanks 😊 👍
When I first went natural I was a total Pj. I owned every hcp at walgreens. For the last 3 years I've stuck to texture ID and blue magic so it's no longer expensive.
Yes your hair is AWESOME!!! Natural hair gets expensive when you start trying all of these different products. Then yes expensive. But you answered this the same. Btw Happy Holidays!
Look at those beautiful curls 🥰🥰 I’ve had to really find what works for my hair by buying everything! Everyone hair is different and texture does make a difference in the products as well as utensils you use for your hair. I’ve finally settled on L’Oréal elvive for damaged hair products bcuz I used a lot of heat not that my hair was damaged in any way and my hair responds very well and I also use whole blends honey hair mask . 🥰🥰
Yes yes I've took your advice and went ham lol!! I purchased three jars they have so many different ones so I really appreciate your guidance 💃🧖🏽♀️🚿
If you have natural hair you should use this but ALWAYS also use a natural homemade product🥴, I use my own home made products to make shampoos and conditioners and face masks and creams . From childhood my mom shopped in the store for shampoos and conditioners, but making your own is the best way! Use coconuts oils or olive , grape seed , jojoba. Whatever you want !
Wow I haven't use cholesterol for my hair in years. Your hair looks great!
I just found out my hair is low propensity so I need cholesterol treatment vs doing protein!
Some of it has sulfate in it and that's not good for your hair I was shocked to see it has that in it cholesterol
Natural hair is very expensive especially in the beginning when you’re trying to find products for your hair, and know what porosity you have.
Got all of them. Their is 18 different kind.
First of all your hair is gorgeous. If you have a lot of hair it can be expensive. Depending on name brand products too.
It’s only expensive or pricey to me bc I’m a product junkie. There are some nice in-store brands that aren’t expensive. But 90% of my stash is small black owners businesses that aren’t in stores and their prices can be a little up there. I just wait for a sale and buy multiples.
That's my strategy. I love 4c only and Keravada.
My first time seeing you on UA-cam . ..I really like you ....and your hair is beautiful..you have my dream hair I love it. You have a new fan from Bronx NY 🤗
Hey sis have you tried old school curl activator for your curls. I have. The jar was cheap and my curls are popping.
During the natural hair trend when it was really taking off (2012-2015) I spent a lot of money on expensive products, like butters, leave ins, hair masks, serums, etc. Now I don't really use butters anymore like I used to, I detangle my hair with cheap conditioner, use suave shampoo and deep condition with one of those pump bottle conditioner from the drugstore. I just oil my scalp and put leave in on and twist. Low maintenance with less products has really been helping me plus it fits my busy schedule.
Natural is not expensive if you're not a product junkie. Water and oil is all you need....that cheap. Add extra products... adds extra cost.
Water and oil is all YOU need. Please don’t speak for anybody else.
@@lynns5903 I've been natural since 1977. Before all the products showed up....and my hair thrives. So I do know a little something-something. You do you boo.
@@peepla7 Once again YOUR hair thrives off oil and water. Thanks for taking my advice and speaking for yourself.
@@lynns5903 and yet you are the only one that has an issue. Most folks either take advice from the comments or ignore it. You can feel free to ignore it. My comments may be helpful to some, even if it isn't for you. Have a blessed day.
Stick to what works for you
it has protein...Keratin and eggs...mayo has protein...not protein free for. protein sensitive folk..
That hair !!! 😍 You are so pretty
To start natural hair was expensive for me because I had to buy everything from products, tools, satin bonnets, silk pillow cases, bonnet dryer, steamer and more products. Now that I have all the essentials and I only need to replace the products I love AND I now can do my own hair for special occasions I think natural hair is more cost effective.
I think that at first it was expensive because I wanted to do and use every single product recommended. Now it is no more expensive because I have a minimalistic routine with local affordable products that do the job.
Thats an as well all out style always extravagant it a fact though 🧡
It is really nice! Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄⛄ Love it from 🇩🇪 Germany!💛
Same to you boo!❤️ Thank you !
I was trying every natural hair product under the sun I recently gave a lot of them away because I wasn’t using them. So now I just stick to regular conditioner and shampoo deep condition leave in conditioner and then within the week I just use a very thick hair moisturizer or cream in water and hair grease.
And that’s just like a variety of like Indian him hair grease BB hair grease or crown royal hair grease and there’s other things including with water that seems to work best for me. Not all those expensive oils that I can barely afford
Your hair is amazing... whatever you are doing keep it up, it's working for you 💜💯💯💯.
I can smell it just by looking at it‼️
😂💕💕💕
😂 I tried my best to describe the smell
@@Razorempress 😂😂😂 you did good👍🏾
Same 😂😂
Beautiful head full of gorgeous hair and lovely face

How you hair so shiny
My late mom always used cholesterol on her hair. Her hair was amazing 😍 she bleached her hair for years to a platinum blonde. Thank you for the video ☺️
Hair product manufacturers make it look as if when don't use their products our hair won't thrive. They do this to sell their products and we fall for it. We've had natural hair since our childhood when we never had all these products. What happened to those times? We are so gullible
I love blue magic tea tree oil leave in conditioner. It is my absolute favorite!
Please tell me where you got that spray bottle from 💖
You should try the original cholesterol by Queen Helene that's the best
Ok I’m getting this ol school hair item; old ways best ways🤗🛐
“Gorgeous Hair”.
We have made China rich!
You are awfully beatiful. Your skin is so beautiful. You have the most beautiful hair in the world
OMG, we used to use Blue Magic products. I need to try this!!✌
Natural hair is not expensive. It turns expensive when you want to use products every Tom, Dick and Harry uses. If you stick to what suits you it is not expensive.
Your hair is beautiful!
I tried the cheap way 1st needless to say i have expensive and inexpensive products. I have low porosity 4c hair
Natural hair is very expensive. I don’t believe there is no way around it to be honest. Even after you buy different products and eventually find out what your hair likes (which could take months to a year or so) , you have to maintain that. You always have different styles that require certain products. Your basic moisturizing set ( leave in and cream/butter) won’t work for a blow
Out or perm rod set or twist/braid out. Some products can be used for multiple purposes but most aren’t. You always have different seasons and air humidity depending on where you live.
What you do in the summer may or may not be the same as winter. Then you have the range of quality of products. Some good ones are at $5-$7 while others are $20-$30 per bottle. If you style weekly then you using all the products and oils more often causing you to purchase again. Not to mention that some products are good stand alone but in combination with other products causes clumps.
Jesus love you guys ❤
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 my sister.
The old school is best!
My African mum was on it.
Is that really your hair it looks like you got crochet braids to me. Fine ones!! Just saying
I have a problem keeping my hair moisturized when in a protective style. I mainly use hair grease,leave in to moisturize and oil for my scalp . How do I keep my protective style moisturized ?
How often do you moisturise and do you have extensions in your hair when you do your hairstyles?
@@lookingatdaisies9901 can extensions be drying?
@@celiafeliciano3894
Yes they can, two possible ways that I know of so far.
1. The products that you apply might not be getting into your hair properly because they're getting wasted on the added hair too. (So maybe soaking your entire head is the way to go before sealing, instead of spritzing water on the outer layers of your braids).
2. There's an alkaline coating on the hair or the hair synthetic hair is made of an alkaline material (either way it's the reason some people itch), alkaline pH raises hair cuticles so moisture can be lost from the hair(possible fix: some people do an vinegar rinse on the hair and then moisturise and seal the hair so it doesn't take moisture from their hair)
Furthermore there is friction between your hair and the added hair as you go about daily life, plus the dryness, it shreds our ends over time, but it's more noticeable with people with fine strands. I dropped added hair in my braids and started using grease too and the thickness of my fine hair is more preserved.
I stopped using cholesterol. I was using the olive oil one and it has DMDM hydantoin in it. It’s formaldehyde. It was making my hair fall out and other brands of products with that ingredient got shunned by its users after the discovery of the ingredient.
Which brand 👀
I would say it goes by brand preferences as far as being expensive or not.
Your hair very good
I like curly hair
Thank you so much 😊

Yes natural hair is expensive 😊
I love that stuff, it keeps my hair curly all day, while it stays healthy, and it grows fast
You look gorgeous as always queen! 😍 Loved the video! 💕💕
My hair becomes a spider web when it gets wet. What solution do you have for me. My hair is fine. Does not take oils. Breaks at the tip which is extra fine. Just wash last night and I was ready to chop the whole thing off. Washed 1 month ago. Keep in protive style. Moisturize with water n oil evey couple of days. H E L P
Try putting conditioner in your hair and detangle in sections before you get to washing it. Then keep your sections as you continue to wash your hair. If nothing else works, try locs. Your hair may flourish with them.
Try hot oil hair treatments to mske your hair stronger or keratin hair treatments or keratin shampoo.
I'm confused! At the beginning, it looked like your hair was short, & then you put a wig on, but maybe it's because of the way you had your hair pinned up, towards the back of your head! However, that's a lot of hair to hide! Don't know how you did it, but yours or not, that hair is fabulous! It looks dope on you!
Gonna have to try this. Thanks for sharing! 😍
This is my staple for many years. It does yhe job.
