Thank-you @Oaktree I used to study commerce and saw the insides of industry. The hyaluronic serum retails for $30 but is worth practically a cent or a fraction of a cent.
Theres all kinds of promotion, sales, marketing, packaging and endorsements surrounding these products.
Years ago a generic imitation makeup brand called "The Ordinary" came out minus these factors built into the price so a hyaluronic serum was only $10 from that mob. They had no fancy label, promotions or celebs endorsing their products
But the only ingredients in it is hyaluronic powder like less than a teaspoon and distilled water!
The heat protectant spitz is pretty much the same. I saw one selling at Woolies for $17 and you can make it for nothing practically and it does wonders for your hair. You know what goes in it theres no chemicals - its 'clean'
Over the years i've enjoyed making my own products. I even used to use bicarb to wash my hair and a vinegar rinse to condition it. I learnt that from environmental scientist David Suzuki
My hairdresser was commenting on my lovely hair and was really surprised when I told her I just used bicarb to wash it and a vinegar rinse!
I thought it may have been skimping on myself when i started doing it but my hair was in better condition on bicarb
