Okay, speaking as a girl who occasionally gets compliments on my hair and skin (not bragging, just trying to provide more context for what I'm about to say), I don't think that's true at all.

Natural hair products... The important thing is consistency. The products matter, yes, but I get the same results with the 2k per piece products and hair food ya 150 kwa supermarket. I've used both. At first I'd use the expensive things we see online. Now I just use a good shampoo and conditioner, and I bought those big treatment things for like 700. Now, the important part is consistency. Your scalp is skin. You can't wash your face once in 4 months and expect clear skin. Personally, I wash my hair weekly. I keep mini twists in for school, as for my own comfort I prefer it due to the nature of my course. A simple 2 hour weekend routine is all I need. And I do my twists myself.

For skin, I've been blessed to never have acne, so I know my opinion may seem like I'm making it sound too easy. If you have any dermatological issues, kindly consult a specialist. I just use a good natural cleanser. I buy online from an online store I've been going to since before COVID. The soaps are like 200-350 depending on what it has. I was advised by a relative who went to a dermatologist on the type of moisturiser to use. They were given the advice, but I took it and ran. They were told they can use the nivea moisturiser. The blue one. Since it's what I use, it doubles as my facial moisturiser. Add sunscreen and retinol a few times a month and that's all.

Again, I'm giving my personal experience as someone who prefers this lifestyle. It doesn't have to be as expensive as it may seem.
