My Top 5 Hair Hacks, Tricks & Treats

What do a kabob skewer, tub drain protector, toddler bib, and ratty old cotton t-shirt have in common?

Aside from being relatively inexpensive, the aforementioned items may also hold the keys to your next great hair day.

They've consistently worked for me, and they very well could do the same for you.

Why I Love My Cheap Hair Vitamins

Allow me to state for the record that I am not a vitamin person, and my consumption of vitamins can quite literally be traced back to a very specific time in my life.

On New Years Eve of 2010—when I was 33 years old, The Hubs and I learned that we were expecting our first child, so I began taking prenatal vitamins the very next day. 

And because I nursed our son for over a year—then discovered I was pregnant with our daughter, whom I nursed for more than a year as well—I continued taking those vitamins until the latter part of 2014.

Then, just like that, I broke up with vitamins.

Cold turkey.

Then, in 2015, I went natural.

And even though my hair has always grown relatively fast, I was looking for something—anything!—to accelerate my hair growth.

Enter my quest for a good, affordable hair vitamin...and, here, I present to you what I've found.

I have not received compensation in any way, shape, or form from this vlog—and as I say in the video—this company has no earthly idea that Courtney Conover exists, so I'm just sharing my opinions with all of you in hopes that you might find it helpful.

Why Our Curls Need Water


I'm holding in my hand the holy grail product for curls.

Back when I started transitioning in November of 2015 from heat-damaged straight hair to a head of thick, healthy curls, I basically had no clue about what I was doing.

While my husband--and, heck, our entire house--was sound asleep, I would lay awake in the dead of night, staring into the screen of my laptop as I watched one YouTube hair tutorial after another.

If only I used the gel she used, I thought.

Then I'd scurry off to Sally's Beauty Supply the next morning, plunk down another 20 or so bucks, and hurry back home to conduct a wash and go that rendered piss poor results.

And back to YouTube I'd go.

If only I used that conditioner, I would then whisper to myself.

Next, I'd hop in my car and drive to Target...

You get where I'm going with this.

I was the proverbial hamster on a wheel.

I would come to learn that the gels weren't the problem.

The conditioners weren't even the problem!

It was water I needed.

My hair lacked moisture, and there was no getting around that fact.
