Aubrey Organics lovers: SALE -- what to get?

[lilsparkle825]

Perusing the shelves of Whole Foods the other day, I noticed that my local store has all the Aubrey Organics stuff on sale for $7.49, which seems to be pretty good. I have heard lots of LHCFers rave about the HSR conditioner, but they were out of stock. Judging from that and recent events at TJMaxx, I am CONVINCED I happen to live around a lot of Nikos' cousins.

My question to the AO lovers is what should I try? I have used the GPB shampoo once at my SO's mom's house, and it was the only (sulfate OR sulfate-free) shampoo I've ever tried that has not left my hair feeling stripped. I believe a true PJ buys first and asks questions later, but I'm trying to let that part of me go.

Thanks ladies!

You should try AO Honeysuckle Rose and Camellia conditioners. I agree that the shampoos do seem to strip the hair.

I saw that too! They were out of the Honey suckle rose, and the Glycogen conditioner. I ended up getting some of the kinky curly products though, so the trip wasn't a complete waste. lol.

Honeysuckle rose, GBP, or White Camellia (all conditoners)...from what i read the shampoos are stripping

 

[silenttullip]

I like all their conditioners besides the island naturals too drying
I hate their shampoos too drying
My fave conditioners are honeysuckle rose
gpb
bga
green tea rinse
swimmers

 

[divachyk]

I'm relaxed. I've only tried White Camellia. I've not tried any others and based on how well White Camellia does, I really don't need too.

I do plan on trying HSR to just see what the hype is about with that one. I will also try GPB for the protein when my Joico runs out.

i regularly rotate btw:
white camellia
honeysuckle rose
j.a.y
gbp

they all work well for me hth and hhg


vitacost.com, vitaminshoppe.com and luckvitamin.com regularly has these conditioners for that price.....i tend to buy 2-3 bottles at a time and order other goodies/essentials (natural cleaning products, herbal tinctures, organic tampons, pads, pantiliners, etc.) as well about every 3-4 months or so.

GBP conditioner is my favourite conditioner ever, staple for life.
White Camellia - my tangles just melt away
Honeysuckle Rose - is also lovely

The White Camellia shampoo was a staple for 4 years, love it and found it very gentle and non-stripping.

The GBP shampoo stripped my hair beyond belief - have never known anything like it In the end I just used it to clean the bath.

ETA: If the Blue Green Algae Hair Rescue Mask it is on sale, it might be worth checking this out also. It stopped my breakage immediately

 

[sqzbly1908]

Those shampoos suck! IA with everyone else...AO HSR, WC, and GBP - they are all great

 

[virtuenow]

I couldn't imagine a better conditioner than the AO GPB. Its the best ever and only conditioner anywhere I've tried that worked on my hair.

 

[Mrs. Verde]

I've never used the shampoo. Cosigning on the Honeysuckle Rose and White Camellia.

 

[lilsparkle825]

I don't know WHY I didn't look at White Camellia and recall it from the various threads I've seen on it. I will stalk the HSR until they restock (the sale doesn't end till 4/12) and try that, GPB and WC.

The funny thing is, as many shampoos that LHCF praises, NONE of them have worked for me except maaaayyyybbbbeeee KC Come Clean. I LIKE the GPB shampoo that everyone is saying stripped their hair.

*scratches head (in thought, not because it itches)*

lilsparkle825 - BTW you can get AO products on the cheap at vitaglo.com. The HSR and WC are only $6.34, free shipping with $50 orders.

 

[lilsparkle825]

^^Thanks! Shipping is what always kills me, since I don't buy a ton of stuff online....I can never come up with enough stuff/other products in my cart that I actually NEED to justify the cost of shipping, so I might as well buy the 2 or 3 things I'm getting at the store.

 

[SVT]

Aubrey GPB conditioner for life!

And thanks, OP, for the heads up!
