How to use the Curly Girl Method on a budget
CANTU TXTR SHAMPOO:
When you need a product that keeps some money in your pocket but also gives your scalp a good, effective clean, this shampoo is it. It has an applicator, which helps deliver the product directly to your scalp for a healthier, happier head of curls.
SUAVE ESSENTIALS TROPICAL COCONUT CONDITIONER:
Most curly girls need a lot of conditioner to work knots and tangles out of their curls. However, this can get expensive pretty fast, especially if you have long curls. Fortunately, you can grab a bottle of this Suave conditioner, get great slip, and save yourself a bundle. It smells great, as well.
TRESEMME BOTANIQUE CONDITIONER:
Here’s another low-cost conditioner that really delivers, and stays within the requirements of the CGM. This conditioner is light enough to use as both a leave in or a rinse out conditioner, and provides all day hydration when used as a leave in. It’s a bit more moisturizing than the Suave, which makes it a great choice during the drier times of the year or when your strands need an extra boost.
CANTU MOISTURISING CURL ACTIVATOR:
This curl activator actually works really well, and you only need a small amount to go a long way. This makes this already inexpensive product last even longer, so really, what’s not to love? Apply a nickle-sized amount to wet curls right after the shower, and you can also use it to refresh your strands between wash days.
BIOTERA STYLING GEL:
Every curly girl needs a great gel to hold your curls in shape, and this one is it. Not only does it hold your curls in their natural shape, it also helps keep moisture locked in so your curls will hold throughout the day. You’ll use a bit more in your curls than the Cantu activator, but it’s still a very affordably priced product and goes a long way.
