Incidentally, most of these products are imported and are quite expensive, thereby, discouraging a lot of women willing to join the natural hair train.

But luckily, there are cheaper homemade products to achieve the same effect for natural hair as the imported and expensive ones would. Afterall, the major challenges for most women keeping natural hair are stunted growth and texture of their hair, and the available homemade products can take care of these challenges.

Below are some of the products and method of preparation and application culled from several sources including Facebook page of Natural Hair Babes:

  • Carrot
  • Avocado pear
  • Sorrel flower (Zobo leaves)
  • Onions
  • Rice
