What are some inexpensive hair products that will keep my hair healthy?

I have always had very healthy hair and I have only dyed it a few times. I now prefer to leave it at it's natural color as dyes are not good for your hair. My main concern is that, while my hair is healthy, my sister's hair is not and she has never dyed her hair. We are both looking for products that can promote healthy hair and keep out hair healthy. Does anyone know of any inexpensive products that do this?

1. garnier fructis sleek in shine leave in condishhh. purrr fect. i swearzz.
2. herbal essences or pantene pro-v shampoos they both have dif. types for dif. hair types
3. The natural oils produced by your hair are very healthy. It is very bad to wash your hair more than two or three times a week; this removes all the oils and drys it out. You may also try olive oil, which is very healthy for your hair, and apple cider vinegar.
4. Well don't wash it everyday, use a deep conditioner once a week, and use a clarifying shampoo/vinegar rinse every week. Clarifying shampoos/vinegar rinses remove all dirt and hair product buildup that makes hair look dull. For a vinegar rinse, yes just rinse hair with vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is best but you can use regular vinegar. Deep conditioners help keep hair conditioned. You can use Cholestorel conditioner which is cheap and great. Natural products are olive oil, mayonaisse, avocado, and egg yolk that you can leave in for about 15-30 minutes, put a showecap on and wrap a warm towel around it then rinse. Hair is protein, products with protein help rebuild hair. Find any product with protein, silk, or amino acids. You can find a lot of products on sale at drugstores. If you wanna dye your hair, henna hairdye is great. Bigen make permanent henna hairdye. It doesn't damage your hair, it coats the cuticle which helps rebuild it. Make sure if you use hair products that they don't contain alcohol! It's extremely drying. For hairgel, you can find a lot of cheap products with protein. There's so many things, just do a search and you'll see!
5. You do not have to use expensive products to keep your hair healthy. Healthy hair starts with a good hygien of life. Like everything else about true, lasting beauty, healthy hair begins within your body. Start with your diet. Include lots of green leafy vegetables and sweet juicy fruits. Dairy products such as milk and fresh yogurt will also help. Fresh coconut is also considered excellent "hair food" – sprinkle grated coconut over salads, diced fresh fruit, or rice. Cut down on refined, processed and canned foods. Ice-cold beverages also hamper the process of digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Cooking with certain spices adds flavor to your food and provides nourishment for your hair. Cumin, turmeric and black pepper are some "hair-friendly" spices. Add a healthy pinch of each to single-portion soups and stews as they are cooking. Stress can be seriously injurious to long-term health and color of hair. Try and manage your time and tasks to minimize time-related pressures. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation. Get adequate, good quality sleep to help the natural process of rejuvenation. Stay away from harsh chemical topical products that can damage hair over time. Look for gentle, natural cleansers and conditioners, especially if you wash your hair more than three times a week. Shampoos and conditioners that contain nourishing botanicals are even better. Read labels carefully – sometimes, products that say "herbal" or "natural" can include no-no chemicals. A warm oil scalp massage two or three times a week will help stimulate and moisturize the scalp. You can use good quality coconut, almond or olive oil. Apply some mildly warmed oil to your hair and gently massage into your scalp evenly with your fingertips. Leave on overnight if you can, if not, leave on for at least an hour or two, then get it out by shampooing your hair. The scalp massage helps you relax and aids sound sleep as well. Never attack wet hair with a brush, no matter how rushed for time you are. Tangles in wet hair are best removed with a wide-toothed comb. Use a wooden comb if you can find one; it won't generate static electricity. Excessive blow-drying can damage hair in the long-term, making it brittle and causing split ends. If you can, let your hair dry naturally, then brush into place. Last, but not least, brushing your hair regularly to stimulate the scalp will keep it looking healthy and lustrous. Brush each night in all directions in turn – left to right, right to left, front to back and back to front Use smooth long strokes from scalp to hair-tips. All the best!
