<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">I do have relaxed hair, but I am going to transition eventually. I've always been fascinated with natural hair. The versatility, beauty and funkiness of the style--a style once deemed "taboo" as opposed to innately individual. Candace sent me this email and it inspired me so much because I personally can relate.

Qhemet Biologics Burdock Butter Cream Last week I finally got my sample of the Burdock Butter Cream from Qhemet Biologics ($16, online store). Many femmes with relaxed tresses or softer hair textures have complained that the consistency of the Amla and Olive Oil Heavy Cream is entirely too much to bare on their locks. However, they need something with a bit more hold and weight than the other moisturizers from this brand.

Sometimes we confuse price with quality; if something is costly, then it must work, right? Wrong! My hair is living testament of how high-end products can do just as much damage as the cheaper buys--or visa versa. You don't always have to spend big bucks to get amazing style and hair health. Here are a few of great low-moola products that work just as good as the expensive ones on the blog.
