Alaffia Shampoo and Conditioner

I'm pretty new to the forum, but I wanted to let you guys know about Alaffia shampoo and conditioner. When I first tried Alaffia shampoo and conditioner, it changed everything for my hair. I originally tried it because I read about their mission and their work, and it sounded like such a great company I wanted to give them a try. And I'm so glad I did because the shampoo/conditioner worked so great for my hair. I no longer needed styling products to limit frizz, and my hair always looked great. I started with the Coffee & Shea Revitalizing Formula for Fine and Thin Hair (shampoo conditioner links), but in the winter time I need a little more, so I switch to the Coconut & Shea Hydrating Formula (shampoo conditioner links). The shampoos are formulated with African Black Soap made from the shea butter they produce in their co-op. The conditioners are light weight but still conditioning.
I cannot say enough great things about these products and am kind of surprised they aren't catching on. I've seen people talk about their curly line (Beautiful Curls), which I've tried, and it worked ok, but while I got really good curl definition, it made my hair kind of limp. The formulas above (using the conditioner as a rinseout) worked really well for me, and seemed to make my hair healthier.
Some background about my hair: I have fine, 2c, low porosity APL hair. I learned about curl-friendly hair products here at nc.com, eventually settling into using Giovanni shampoo/conditioner for years, and a brief stint with Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus (which worked great because my hair used to love silk protein...until I started henna-ing my hair, at which point it was too heavy.)
