Women care about their hair, period. We get haircuts. We purchase shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, gel, mousse, smoothing cream and much more. Without realizing it, a lot of us spend more on haircare than necessary, and now that the economy is struggling, splurging on the salon’s special $40 hair de-frizzer may not be the wisest decision. However, letting your hair become a bird’s nest because it’s too expensive to care for isn’t wise, either. Our solution? A list of haircare products that’ll leave your hair looking great and your wallet full—they’re all under 5 bucks!
