    Maybe first starting out as natural you'll spend a lot because you trying to find what works for you, but $3000 a year!?!?

      GlamGirlTiff | $3000 per year is $250 per month. If they are getting it professionally done 1-2 times a month with weave that’s pretty low.

      back in my days I didn't spend no more than about $20 every 3 to 4 months I had one or two wigs which didn't cause a lot of money back in those days I stopped wearing wigs about 30 years a go so right now I spend no more then maybe about $40 every six months and it may be less than that because I use oils I make my own condition has so whatever I use in my hair basically I could ingest so I don't spend that much maybe less than $100 a year on hair products and I have for a be here and I find my hair after I've learned how to manage it it's easy for me so all you ladies out there spending $30,000 a year I may be going to a professional or having weaves done sit down and check yourself I know there's some women in their 30s 40s 50s that do not know how to wash condition just do the basic things to their hair wash condition and blow it out on a cool setting they don't know how to do it so they have to have somebody to do it or either they just don't want to learn how to do it so get a reality check you make it everybody Rich accept yourself

      I have about the same kinky curly hair I take care of it myself my granddaughter she conditions and do all the treatments before she goes to the beauty salon and she spends maybe $25 a month going to the beauty salon there are some women out there that are very smart and they have some very young woman women got a very smart and I don't like to take away from a business but a lot of young women know how to do their hair I wouldn't I don't I've never had a weave my hair can I take cornrows because I have an itchy scalp and I have to take them out so I do braid my hair but I have to oil it make sure that I keep my hair oiled and I have had a lot of success so ladies when you talk about spending $30,000 on your hair how much money do you make what do you put it on your credit card stop making other people rich and learn how to do your own take your time when you sitting down looking at TV learn how to manipulate your hair by products that are good for your hair good sleep so that your hair won't become Tangled when you washing it used oil treatment you got coconut oil if it's good for you and all the oils that may be good for you castor oil rapeseed oil these are the light Orioles grape seed oil there's a whole lot of very light oils that you can use on your hair so find out read go to TH-cam do whatever you can do to save you money number one and so that you don't have to go running to a professional because we're natural hair now they want $100 and according to the length it may be $125 learn how to do your own hair it's not hard

      It’s exhausting after all these years black people still haven’t monopolised an industry. I mean how are we not the majority shareholders of BlackHair care. We’re forever teaching the world through TH-cam and blogs how to actually look after the toughest hair type as they take our natural hair concoctions and resell our ideas back to us at ridiculous prices. We have an ever growing demand to maintain our natural Afro hair in a world than demonises the appearance of it and we are still paying a high price for it and in no way are we ever going to profit from it. Society still ushers black woman to conform to straighter styles with wig and weaves becoming the norm. Products to take care of what’s underneath are increasing in price every year. Every black woman regardless of length, curl type, or profession should refuse to purchase anything that isn’t 100% natural, beneficial or produced from a legitimate black owned business. How are we yet again leaving the fate our tresses in another countries hands, they don’t share our hair type or social concerns yet are growing richer from it!

    • @PolitiKings
      @PolitiKings 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      There are several documentaries on the hair industry that explain why ownership is dominated by Asians. Most of the real hair sold is Asian hair and so Asian companies market their products in Asian catalogs. Basically, if you can't read Chinese or Japanese then you MUST PARTNER with an Asian person to start the business. But why would they partner with you when they can do it without you and all really have to do is hire a couple black people work work for them and the other MILLION black people will buy their products. That's why blacks don't own many, if any, beauty supply stores that sell hair.

      Ive learnt to spend my money where black women are featured. You often find huge companies like She's Moisture don't cater to their market's price point, in terms of general cost of living. So why should I spend more when the company doenst take into account certain societal environmental factors. For example that many , black African women have now become bread winners for entire families. Those are personal realities and play a part in purchasing decisions. I have relaxed hair and usethr J Strickland company's products like Blue Magic etc...because their price point is relevant to my reality.
      Also I live in South Africa and many of uslook up to African American women for hair inspo, they seem to have the hair game on lock,in terms of trends etc.
      Nex Sheen Arganics is also another black owned company, they launched in Africa a few years ago, I travel to the US often and find they theit price point is very similar. My point is , buy from people who care about YOUR economic reality as a black woman.while I would love to support my fave celebs like Taraji P and Kenya Moore 's lines of hair products, I feel they are so out of touch with reality.
      So I'll stick to my Nex Sheen, Blue Magic and Africa's Pride.....

I don't know them, nor do I know their financials to state that. Also, they noted how much is spent on products outside of weaves so it's a little different.
      Product junkies exists because scientist refuse to study our hair. We're left to our own devices to figure out how to care for it. Caucasians or hair types that are straight do not have this problem, they are well studied and products are created around their findings. We are still learning our hair. Notice that we are exploited for things that hurt us or terribly affect our psyche/esteem. But things that help us are severely neglected, even if there is money in it for businesses.

Then I put my hair in twist with African Shea butter (from Amazon) I leave it in twist for a week... once a month I also dust my end any spit ends, knots I can’t detangle, or fairy knots get cut. Trying to see if I can make it to tailbone. I all honesty it took almost a year to find what worked for me. So experiment and learn what your hair likes.

On a side note. I wish people who are trained in cutting curly hair knew how to cut curly hair. I have gone to many hair salons and 1 out of 10 knew how to style and cut type 3 curly hair. Products are not everything. Getting a proper hair cut and style is invaluable. Because, i have found that a great cut makes the product look great. I love being black. I just want a good cut.

    where are these figures for natural hair coming from? I spend maybe 150-200 dollars a year all up on my products-not including shampoo and conditioner which I share with my family. I'm talking leave in and twisting cream. A tangle teezer is 20 bucks and i don't get a new one yearly.. The whole point, in my mind of going natural is to reduce cost and dependency on others to work with and protect what you have naturally. At least in my view. I trim my own ends even- but understand those who don't feel confident with diy. eta I did add an oil blend (Melanin brand) to this routine and a bottle of essential lavender for my scalp which lasts for years because I only use a drop to a bottle of spray water as I now live in a dryer/wintery state. Still not int he thousands though.

    I keep it simple. Aloe for leave in, oil like grape seed that serves multiple purposes, and shea butter to seal. I do buy shampoo though. Sometimes I buy products if i'm in the mood.

      Same here. I used to use sweet almond oil all the time, but I've switched to grape seed recently. I just started doing water only washing, and my hair has never been so tangle free (type 4, low porosity), but I wonder how long my scalp will like no shampoo..

      K GS isn’t an apple cider vinegar rinse like shampoo as well? It clarifies your scalp, so I assume you don’t need shampoo? If anything, you can use Castile soap to clarify.

    For people saying these numbers are exaggerated think:
    Bundles
    Closures/frontals
    Braiding hair
    Shampoo/cond/oil/styling products
    Salon costs
    Hair ties/pins
    Flexi rods/rollers
    Sounds right to me. My sister is a hairstylist so I don’t pay full salon costs for styles and I’d say I spend close to 2k/yr

    Seriously, olive, tea tree, coconut, castor or blackseed oil costs less than $10. Some of those women with seriously thick hair, break out the vinegar rinse or coconut oil and lemon conditioner. Black hair is not that fragile. Although some had some serious curl patterns. No way would i sit and have a weave sown on. Or wear a wig, both seem extremely hot. Like wearing a thick hat in the summer or all year long. $30k on hair, not in an entire lifetime.

    All you need for healthy black hair
    Comb
    Brush
    Oil
    Wash every other month. Our hair has to keep the oil build up.
    Plait if you want length.
    I If you wear weave. Re use it.
    Just make three part water and one part vinegatr in sink. Dip hair several times to remove product build up.
    ( You can also do with natural hair. )
    Pat weave dry. . Do not wring. hair and apply coconut oil . This is for. both human hair weave or synthetic.
    For your hair after wash with vinegar solution ( every other month) use a , conditione ( leave in or rinse out- REALLY DOES NOT MATTER) and use whatever oil. you like daily. Lard or Vaseline will do.
    I use " wild growth sometimes and Vaseline other times, used lard when I was a kid.
    The end .

    I keep:
    Black soap
    Shea butter
    Oils + essential oils
    Honey
    Acv
    Flaxseeds
    And avocado.
    Maybe a cheap cleanser for occasional deep clean.
    And a heat protectant.
    A lot of the stuff lasts for a while depending on your regiment, and the quantity of what you get. So every two months I be spend less than $50

    Curly hair isn't naturally dry. It's just not suited to certain climates. I lived in a equatorial region for three years and my hair stayed moiturised. I barely used any product on my 4c hair and I wasn't using sulfate free shampoo. So your hair will react differently in different environments depending on your genetics.
