If you thought “budget conditioner” was just for saving money, think again. The YouTube and TikTok trend “How to upgrade cheap conditioner” is taking off. Mixing it with honey, olive oil, and jojoba oil transforms it into a viral “deep conditioner” that rivals salon products.

 [Sales Tip] This trend works especially well when paired with informational displays. Try adding POP cards with simple “usage tips” next to budget conditioners. When shoppers discover new ways to use a product, they start seeing the same item as something fresh and worth buying.

 This recipe is loved by those dealing with product buildup from frequent styling. Simply crush black soap into small pieces or dissolve it in hot water to make a liquid base. Add jojoba oil and glycerin for moisture, then finish with tea tree and peppermint oils for a refreshing touch. Users rave, “It clarifies my scalp so well,” but always emphasize, “You MUST add oils so it’s not stripping.” The cleansing power is undeniable—balanced hydration makes it perfect.

[Sales Tip] Offer a DIY Black Soap Shampoo Starter Kit featuring black soap, glycerin, and tea tree oil. It gives customers the satisfaction of making it themselves and the confidence of using familiar, scalp-friendly ingredients.

 As the name suggests, pre-poo is a pre-wash treatment that coats the hair with coconut or olive oil before shampooing. This protective layer prevents moisture loss—like a shield for your strands. On TikTok, “pre-poo for 4C hair” has millions of views, with countless users saying, “My hair breakage dropped so much after pre-poo!” Popular DIY blends include coconut oil, shea butter, honey, and aloe gel. Apply evenly, leave for 10–20 minutes, then shampoo as usual.

 [Sales Tip] Add POP signage near natural oils with a message like “Don’t skip your pre-poo care!” to spark shopper curiosity and boost impulse sales.

 Fill a spray bottle with a hydrating base such as distilled or rose water, then mix in a little store-bought conditioner. Add a few drops of a light oil like jojoba or argan oil to finish. Spray onto dry hair on days two or three to revive moisture, refresh curls, or gently detangle. The “DIY Hair Moisturizing Spray” trend continues to thrive on TikTok and Reels, where users praise the simple water + conditioner + oil formula as a “must-have for easy moisture replenishment.”

[Sales Tip] Place POP signage reading “Water + Conditioner + Oil: 3-Step Combination” near displays of conditioners, rose water, and similar items. This helps customers instantly recognize the recipe, encouraging impulse purchases.

 Avocado has long been a trusted hair care ingredient in the Black community. Its rich fats and vitamin E coat brittle hair, restoring softness and shine. Blend a ripe avocado with honey and olive (or jojoba) oil, then apply it as a nourishing mask. On TikTok and YouTube, the “Avocado Hair Mask” remains a favorite with users claiming, “My hair texture changed after just one use.”

[Sales Tip] Add a “DIY Hair Mask” POP card near natural ingredient shelves. Using visuals—like fresh avocados—draws attention and naturally promotes cross-selling of natural oils.
