1BlessedNatural: 5 Ways to Make Your Natural Hair Products Last Longer One of the many misconceptions about having natural hair is you have to spend a lot of money on products, but the truth is you really do not have to do so. I have learned several ways of making my natural hair products stretch or last longer. Here are 5 tips that work for me: 1.

In the summer, I only have have to do this once a day or every other day. 2. Deep Condition: After washing my hair, I try to always deep condition it. I usually apply a creamy conditioner like Suave Almond and Shea Butte...

Application- I applied it to my twa in the morning before styling. It made my hair soft and moisturized. Fragrance: The fragrance is ok. It is not a floral scent.

I would advise to maybe get a sample to smell before using.
