My hair went from unmanageable to amazing with a cheap 2-oil routine – there’s lots of regrowth and it’s shinier, too
HELP is on the way for those whose unruly locks need a lifesaving solution – in the form of two affordable products.
After being fed up with her hard-to-manage mane, a woman finally found the routine that restored the growth and shine she had been waiting for.
Redditor Sinistersweetness11 shared how she got herself out of a hairy solution in just two steps.
“For me, it was having a prewash hair treatment before I shower. I had/have really unmanageable hair,” she said.
Growing up poor, she had become accustomed to using two-for-one shampoos, and they weren’t doing her frizz any favors.
Even when she upgraded to other products, nothing did the hair-taming trick.
“It didn’t seem to matter what I put on it, it would just frizz out and I felt really terrible about it,” she said.
After years of trying various treatments, she didn’t notice any dramatic difference.
That was all about to change, however, when she came across a video on TikTok featuring someone’s life-changing pre-wash routine.
“Once a week she puts castor oil on her roots for growth, then puts jasmine oil on the lengths,” she said.
She was super impressed with the TikToker’s results which didn’t require a hefty price tag.
“She showed the before and after on her hair, and given the products were cheap on Amazon, I got them,” she said.
She certainly didn’t regret the buys that helped her find her way out of what felt like an unmanageable mane maze.
“And now my hair is amazing,” she said.
“It doesn’t frizz, I have a lot of regrowth, and it’s so much stronger and shinier,” she added.
If you want to try some budget-friendly buys for yourself, Amazon offers Heritage Store Organic Castor Oil for $19.99.
To make sure you don’t skip a step, they also sell Evoke Occu Pure Jasmine Essential Oil for $11.59.

Others shared their own favorite tips they followed from within the online beauty community.
“I just learned about this from my MIL! She uses Lubriderm to remove her makeup and gets it off in a fraction of the time it takes me with micellar water and a wipe/cloth,” said a Redditor.
“Using an oil-based cleanser on dry skin before using your normal cleanser! Game changer. Oil removes all the oil and dirt and leftover makeup on your skin,” said another.
“Then you just follow up with your normal cleanser you use with water,” they added.
“Double cleansing, eyeshadow blending, and the importance of wearing sunscreen every single day,” a user chimed in.
“I wish I’d known more of the skincare side of things sooner, but mid-20s is better late than never!” they continued.
