Quizas es que no quiero que mi hija/o piensen que tienen un cabello “dificil” de cuidar, que piensen que tienen que gastar toneladas de dinero para tener “buen cabello” desde el comienzo de sus vidas. Realmente no le doy tanta inportancia al cabello, mientras este sano y los chicos sean felices, es suficiente para mi. Llegaron con menos de Etiopia y sin embargo se veian felices.
Solamente no quiero seguir alimentando la idea de que el cabello negro es “dificil”.
Prefiero enfocar en las cosas que son importantes en la vida, lo demas es solo forma no contenido.

I agree that there is no need for expensive products, there are plenty of less expensive products that work well. I won’t pay $20.00 for a bottle of shampoo either. I recently wrote about that very issue on Happy Girl Hair.

I can say that I do get far better results with products that have natural ingredients and are pre-mixed. I have tried using just olive oil, just shea butter, just coconut or jojoba oil- with pretty bad results. It is important to understand what each of those basic ingredients do, sometimes on a molecular level. Makers of natural products understand what the ingredients do and how to mix them to best advantage. I have seen a huge difference in hair health after switching from stumbling along with just a few oils to using pre-mixed, natural products. Natural products are more expensive to produce and many are handmade in small batches by individuals or very small companies, not large corporations. Mixing those products in an art, as well as a science. Many of these companies grew organically out of need of better products. Oyin handmade, Darcy’s Botanicals, Alaffia, Qhemet Biologics, Jessicurl, Blended Beauty and even Carol’s Daughter are examples. I still wouldn’t pay $20 for a bottle of shampoo, but some of these companies offer fantastic products for far less than that.

I also want to add that the longer hair gets, the more it may need and the more complex issues like moisture levels, styling, tangling and breakage get.
