The 3 Best Affordable Shampoos For Natural Hair
As a natural curly girl, I am highly cautious of what I put in my hair. I know you probably are too! I have high standards that my hair products have to meet, especially the shampoo I use. I am a co-wash kind of gal and not use shampoo as much but when it is that time of the week and products start build in the scalp. I want to make sure that the shampoo does the job!
Standards
o Moisture
Usually shampoos tend to be super drying, which makes curls brittle. So I try to grab shampoos that do not include any sulfates or mineral oil, and try to limit the amount of bad alcohols that are in them because they strip the oils from your hair. I strive to have water as the first ingredient. It is important to look at the ingredients before you buy a hair product, even if the item states that it will provide moisture.
o Strong Quality
In order for a shampoo to work efficiently it has to have a strong formula. A shampoo that is perfect for you will cleanse your scalp and help you acquire the perfect PH balance.

This another one of my favorite affordable shampoos. Since, I live close to a Trader Joes store, I always tend to grab a couple of these shampoos because they are inexpensive; but are great quality. Not only is this shampoo natural & smells delicious. It also contains tea tree oil, which promotes hair growth, and other beneficial oils.
