What products under $10 do you love?

Trader Joes Tea Tree + Nourish Spa Line
Aubrey Organics, Jason Organics, Natures Gate (ordered from vitacost or vitaglo)
Elucence MB Shampoo
Jojoba oil (Dessert Essence 4oz for $6.99)
Castor Oil, EVOO, lavendar e.o.
Naked Naturals Shampoo + Con (Rite Aid, Walgreens)
David Babaii Hyrdating Con
Taliah Wajid Spray
Afroveda moisturizers
Apple Cider Vinegar
Various herbs/herbal teas for hair rinses
Rosewater
 
Africa's Best Liquid Hair Mayo (~ $3.50)
Dove Intense Moisture Conditioner (~ $3)
Porosity Control Shampoo (~$6-7)
Organic Root Stimulators Creamy Aloe Shampoo (~ $5)

I'm just guessing about most of these prices. I know they are all under $10, but I don't remember the exact price for some of them.
 
Castor Oil (well it might be a little more than $10 but that's for a huge bottle)

Avalon Organics shampoos

Giovanni Direct products are under $10 I believe (and sometimes BOGO at Rite Aid) --I like the leave-in though I understand the ingredients have changed...

That's pretty much it. A lot of the other products I use are over $10...but ounce for ounce it can be a good deal (i.e. a liter of Elucence for $25 ...about $5 per typical 8 oz bottle ).
 
My favorites:

Proclaim Glossing Polish
2.99 at Sallys for a small bottle
Mane n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner. Large bottles are about 7.00 each.
Most Dominican Conditioners 7.50-10.00 for 16 oz.
Neutral Protein Filler 2.99 at Sally's.


Natural Items:

Olive oil
Black Tea (a box of 100 can be found at the dollar store)

Henna and other powders 2.99 at most Indian Grocery Stores

I forgot to mention the one in bold. I love that stuff.

Vitamin Shoppe sells it for less than $10 too. Not sure if you have those where you live. Also, check online sites -- if you know the name brand you like, sometimes they have better values too.
 
I only use inexpensive products

Shampoo : EQP Creme Conditioning Shampoo
Conditoners: EQP Intense, EQP DPR11, Shea Moisture Leave In, ORS Packets, Nexxus Humectress
Gel: Clear Ecostyler
Natural Products: Shea Butter and Coconut Oil
 
*cracks knuckles* This is my area of expertise :cool: As I am a broke behind SAHM with a tightfisted DH :lol:

Infusium 23 leave-in: $6-7 @ Target

aloe vera gel (a juice consistency though)- Puritan's Pride or Camden Grey... $4-7 (depending on size of bottle)

coconut oil- $10 a pound from Puritans, but I can get it way cheaper at my local Indian store or the Caribbean food store

Suave Humectant- $2.50 for a 32 oz bottle! :yay:

Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner- just under $10 for a liter, though I bought a gallon sized jug last year and still haven't run out :cool: it came out cheaper to buy it by the gallon

shea butter- only a couple dollars per small tub from FNWL, also Camden Grey

Vatika oil- $4 can be gotten online or from the Indian store

whole avocados- $1 smash 'em up and mix with Kenra for a :notworthy DC


It's important not to spend too much on hair stuff... and I think the best quality products are the natural things that are super cheap anyway.

An avocado in Kenra is good? I may have to try this one.
 
ORS replenishing conditioner
black soap
shea butter(i think thats under $10)
aussie moist
suave tropical coconut conditioner
 
Shescentit Avocado conditioner- $6
Genuine African Formula Let-it-grow Moisturizing Shampoo (awesome stuff, SLS free) - about $10
Chagrin Valley Shampoo Bars (I like these but prefer shampoo above, lots of ladies love though): $6

Along with natural ingredients like glycerine, ACV, EVCO
 
Bio-infusion Leave-in Moisturizer - $7.99 or $5.99 when it is on sale! This has become one of my staples! Yes!...lol <can you see the excitement in there?>
 
ORS Replenishing Pak
Aphogee Essential Oils
Fantasia Protein Treatment
Aphogee 2 minute
Aphogee Green Tea Restructurizer
Lacio Lacio
Herbal Essence LTR
Suave Clarifying Shampoo
Mane and Tail Detangler
Silk Elements Mega Silk Moisturizing Treatment

the above I use "as needed"...my present staple is
UBH Lotion Creme Moisturizer (above $10.00) and
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from GNC ($12.99)
 
- Coconut oil
- ORS Replenishing Olive Oil DC
- Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer
- Motions CPR Protein Reconstructor
- Africa's Best Kids' Organic Olive Oil & Shea Butter Detangling Lotion

Off the top of my head, most of what I use is less than $10, except CHI Silk Infusion and One 'N Only Argan Oil. A product has to be damn good for me to spend more than that on it.
 
I'll just bump this instead of making a new one.

Lottabody setting lotion
French perm stabilizer
Fantasia Ic, Ors, Razac serums
Aphogee keratin and green tea leave in
