Hey everyone!
I'm a newbie from Jacksonville, FL. It's been almost 2 1/2 years since my last relaxer and I'm loving my thick APL 3c curls (though the FL humidity can be a killer on my curls sometimes!). Anyways I started this thread because we finally have a Whole Foods in Jacksonville and I need some feedback on what natural products I should buy when I go shopping next week.
My reggie has been pretty simple so far: Shampoo once a week with Cream of Nature Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo (no sulfates); Deep Condition with Suave Humectant mixed with EVOO and honey. Detangle under the running shower water; Spray in my water/ Suave Humectant spritz and seal w/ shea butter and EVOO. Then I bun for the rest of the week.
So now that I have a Whole Foods where I can get more natural products I want to tweek my reggie a little bit. Any and all suggestions would be great!
Thanks!

I haven't used the following personally but others love:
Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle rose conditioner
Giovanni conditioners
My FOTKI - http://whatsnew.fotki.com/suburbanbushbabe/
Playing with my hair is a hobby. Fluffy, fine natural 4a. Goal= Healthy, beautiful hair that retains its length.
From Aubrey I like the GPB Deep conditioner and the Giovanni Direct Leave in.
Many others on here like the Aubrey conditioners as well as some of the other products from the Giovanni line.
My all time favorite styler which is now for sale at Whole Foods is Curling Custard from Kinky-Curly.
hopefully others will answer with their favorite items
*taking notes*
Keep 'em coming!
I also like the Desert Essence Organics line. I've used the 365 (Whole Foods' brand) and Nature's Gate conditioners to co-wash with as well.
Have fun shopping!
ETA: This thread makes me want to go to Whole Foods.

Thanks for your feedback.
I guess I'm gonna have to pick up some Aubrey Organics, since everybody's suggesting that. lol
I didn't realize Whole Foods had their own brand of hair care products. I'm gonna have to check that out, too.
I was thinking of adding co-washing to my routine. I don't think I could do it more than once a week, though. I don't have the time or strength to detangle my hair more than 2x a week. HAHA!!

I think you're right. It has Dimethiconol. I'm pretty sure that's a cone.
I know I'm not using the best products for my hair right now, so 2009 would be a great time for me to start a Healthy Curly Girl Hair Resolution. I want to shoot for BSL-MBL by the end of next year.
No heat, no color, no major hair manipulation, no bad hair products..nothing bad for my hair, period!
I want my hair to grow!!
I always had great success with the Nature's Gate shampoos and conditioners-especially the Hemp one. They have a nice brand of shea butters, I forget what the brand is but it's in a purple and orange container.
Cleansers: V05 Co
Conditioners: KMS Everyday, Dove Dry Oil Care
