I really, really, wanted to wear my hair like this to work. But last time I attempted a braid out, I was pulled aside and told that my hair looked too "wild".

Looks find to me..maybe next time add a headband or something. It can give it more a "kept" look

I'm new to the forum and also new to taking care of my my hair. I'm trying to learn my hair and I don't know where to start!! I don't know if I have "good hair" my hair is really curly and pretty when there's shampoo in it but as soon as I blow dry it out it's puffy!!! Where'd my curls go!!! Lol also I'm making my own natural oil mix and I want to try the "all natural thing" here's my story... I used to be obsessed with my relaxed shoulder length hair... Like obsessed!! I loved the texture the shine the body, people used to always compliment my hair. Then in 10th grade I didn't wanna pay the 60$ for a perm in the salon so I had my "licensed aunt" do it. Well let me tell you!! Her license must to have been far outdated because boy did my hair fall out!! So now I'm trying to rebuild what she messed up getting perms every 2 months or so... Then I got lazy. So I havent had a perm in about 27 months... I don't know what I want to do with my hair because I don't know my hair!! When I wash it it's curly with shampoo but as soon as I blow dry it it's puffy!! 
WHYYY ??? I love how it looks when the shampoo is in it but I don't think I can deal with the puffy. So I'm debating growing my hair out and then going back to my relaxed hair.... But I'd prefer to make my natural hair work for me!! So I need help!! ALSO I want to use only natural products. ONLY NATURAL... Am I going to have to make my own shampoo and conditioner? I went to the hair store and found NO natural products!*

Welcome to the forum!
Good hair is healthy hair so as long as you do you have good hair imo.
For natural products I use Shea Moisture line which you can find at CVS, Target, Walgreens or what have you. There is also Giovanni and Aubrey Organics. If you have a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, they have tons of natural/organic hair products. Just going to a Walmart, Sally's, or related won't really have a good selection for natural hair products. If all else fails, you can also order products online. Just know that even though it's marketed as natural/organic, it may not be fully natural.
If you must blowdry have you tried using a diffuser as just a straight blow dryer disrupts the curls. If you're trying to define your curls you can try hair gels. MahoganyCurls on YouTube does this so you can check her out. Naptural85 also does modified wash and goes that you can look into. There is also Kinky Curly Curling Custard but you have to tweak it for your hair. Twistsouts and braidouts give good definition but if you're blowdrying your hair you stretch out your curls so perhaps airdrying or using a bonnet hair dryer may work better for you.
If you still have relaxed ends you can try textured sets with twist/braid and curls, flexirod sets, and other type styles. YouTube is a goldmine for styles such as these and there are challenges on here that help out in that arena.

beans4reezy - I'm sorry girl, but that's some bullish. That doesn't look "wild" I like it. Matter of fact, my crazy arse would go all out to make my hair bigger.

I have a horrible routine. I wear my hair gelled up in a bun with Brown protein gel and I barely wash my hair. Horrible I know... Looking for a change. I was tempted to but carols daughter rosemary shampoo and conditioner today but I wanted to do some research first

The brown gel may be too much protein for you so maybe look into some more moisturizing gels and make sure you moisturize beneath it. Ecostyler is a good line to look into or using flaxseed or aloe vera gel. Shea Moisture have the Curly Souffle which is a natural gel you can try out. Also your hair may need more moisture so perhaps look into deep conditioning or conditioner washing.
I haven't tried Carol's daughter so I don't know how good it is. I do recall that many of their products have mineral oil which can block moisture for the hair and cause buildup if not removed properly. If you can get samples then that may be an option so you won't have to spend money on something you don't know you'll like.
