"Easily Accessible and Affordable Hair Care" Review list

[Rei]

Product Name and Line? Aubrey Organics all the way! Honeysuckle rose and GBP EXCLUSIVE.
Where do you get it? whole foods or the vitamin shoppe
Why do you like it? It is seriously the ONLY product that gets my 4b hair to stay soft and behave (as much as it does). And its only $9
What does it do for your hair? The honeysuckle rose Leaves it soft, and I DC on wet hair without heat for like 30 minutes, thats how good it is. The gbp is good because my hair usually hates protein but it doesn't hate this because there is enough moisture in the product to not leave my hair hard.
List ingredients(if you know them)? Honeysuckle rose: Coconut Fatty Acid Cream Base, Aloe Vera (Organic), Shea Butter (Organic), Wheat Germ Oil, Jojoba Oil (Organic), Rosa Mosqueta (Organic), Rose Hip Seed Oil, Extract of Fennel, Hops, Balm Mint, Mistletoe, Camomile, Yarrow, Chrysanthemum, Angelica, Forsythia, Honeysuckle Oil, Carrot Oil, Aubrey's Preservative (Citrus Seed Extract, Vitamin A, C, E)

GPB: Coconut Fatty Acid Cream Base, Organic Aloe Vera, Wheat Germ Oil, Lactalbumin, Organic Rosemary Oil, Organic Sage Oil, Horsetail Extract, Coltsfoot Extract, Nettle Extract, Amino Acid Complex (Cysteine, Methionine), Glycoprotein (from oyster shells), Balsam Oil, Aubrey's Preservative (Citrus Seed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E).

What amount of stars would you give it (take into account affordability, accessibility, user-friendliness and whether it serves its described purpose). 4 stars out of 5. They are both affordable, relatively chem free, and work wonderfully. The only two drawbacks is that you have to dilute it when you think tis done because its very thick and often there will be TONS left in the bottle when it feels empty. Also the smell is not so great. Not stinky, just very floral and grandma-ish (for the honeysuckle rose). the gpb doesn't really smell bad.

The Pantene R&N mask is my favorite deep conditioner right now.It's cheap and very moisterizing. I *think* it might have been discontinued though,not sure .

Another good drug store line is NTM. I like the shampooa lot.

I get mine from wal-mart. I think it does a good job of providing my hair with light moisture. I like to use it to rollerset and to refresh my edges and ends in the morning if i'm going to put my hair in a bun.

but it does have cones so beware! I love cones though
