My ₦20,000 Natural Hair Kit for 4C Girls Who DIY | Pulse Nigeria (2025)

Almost every time I log into my TikTok, I’m greeted with videos of beautiful, gorgeous ladies with natural hair sharing styling tips and taking us fans on their natural hair care journey. This proves that Nigeria’s hair styling tools market is on a steady growth path, with modest annual increases driven by the rising need to grow and preserve healthy hair.

If you are a natural hair girly looking to find budget hair care tools in Nigeria, online retailers like Perfect Stop Over and Riris Hair Essentials offer budget‑friendly finds from spray bottles to microfibre turbans and hair shears.

When I asked my editor, Hillary, what she uses to care for her natural hair, I expected a long list of products and maybe a fancy routine. But what I got instead was a refreshingly honest breakdown of simple, budget-friendly tools that make her at-home hair care routine easier, gentler, and more consistent.

She has been growing her 4c hair for the past four years. She wears it in protective styles, frequently showing up to work in braids, twists and scarves, but when it comes to washing, combing, and parting her hair, she does it all right at home.

Whether you’re newly natural or knee-deep in your healthy hair journey, these essential tools work for her and might work for you too.

1. Spray Bottle

Hydration is non-negotiable when you’re working with natural hair. This spray bottle delivers a fine mist that doesn’t drench the hair but gives it the moisture boost it needs. She fills hers with water, a few drops of hair oil, and some leave-in conditioner.

To properly hydrate or moisturise your hair, add 70% water with your preferred hair oil and a small amount of leave-in conditioner to the spray bottle. Shake well and lightly spritz onto hair. This way, you can apply treatments to your hair without drenching your hair roots.

2. Scalp Massager/Shampoo Brush

A Scalp Massager/Shampoo Brush uses firm silicone bristles to gently exfoliate the scalp, removing dead skin cells and product buildup that can lead to itchiness or dandruff. It also distributes shampoo evenly and deeply cleanses the scalp.

I must warn you that this brush can make you lose track of time because it relieves the muscles and pain in the scalp.

This tool benefits oily and product‑heavy routines by ensuring the shampoo reaches the scalp, especially if you have thick or long hair. It also stimulates blood flow to hair follicles, which promotes healthier growth.
