I spent over $100 on Prose's custom haircare products to fix my curls. The price bummed me out and I fantasized about other products the whole time.

• Prose sells personalized haircare products based on an in-depth online consultation.
• I used custom shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in conditioner to see if it improved my curls over a month.

From Cantu to Shea Moisture, I've tried an excessive amount of hair products in my quest for moisturized curls.

It's not an exaggeration to say I've spent hundreds – maybe even a thousand or two – on hair products over the last eight years. Hours of my time were spent squatting in beauty stores reading conditioner labels, and watching wash-and-go tutorials on YouTube.

But, recently, I tried the personalized hair product brand Prose. While the products made my hair feel good – especially the curl cream – the price was too much for too little product.
