If you are like me, you know the absolute struggle: your roots get greasy 24 hours after washing, but your ends feel like literal straw. For years, I was trapped in a vicious cycle of over-washing, which only made my scalp oilier and my ends drier.
After tons of trial and error, I finally found the perfect products and routine that balance my scalp without stripping my lengths. I treat my hair like two different ecosystems: shampoo goes only on the scalp, and conditioners/masks go only from the mid-lengths to the ends.
To help you shop according to your budget, I have broken down my personal holy grail products into 3 categories: The Splurge (Luxury), The Sweet Spot (Mid-Range), and Best on a Budget!
