Are there any? If so please share your/their reggie.
I'm really looking hard for a line that provides a great set that I can stick with and still have retention and growth. I know the ayurvedic stuff works but besides that... I may just lean back on the whole "trying to keep all or most products natural if not"
 
apl natural here,i use:
poo/condish:aubrey organics-j.a.y,gbp, or hsr or mill creek keratin
co-wash: tresemme naturals with added saa and wgo
kbb hair milk as a leave-in
for styling only twistouts, etc.: afroveda curl define and whipped gelly
 
I am scraping BSL and use avocado, banana, egg, olive oil as a pre poo, swastik shikakai bar as a shampoo (dunno if that's natural but I like it), AOHSR mixed with avocado/yogurt and honey as a DC, spritz with glycerin, water and honey as a moisturiser and seal with Dracy's botanicals coconut cupuacu butter. I would love to try more Darcy's botanicals products.
 
I'm about 1 1/2 inches from claiming MBL and I use:

Nature's Gate jojoba or aloe conditioners to cowash.

Aubrey Organics white camelia as a leave in.

Seal with Castor Oil.

Style with Kinky Curly Curling Custard.

Spritz daily with aloe juice and glycerin.

I like to keep it simple, but I have some other oils and butters when i feel like being a mixtress. And on the off chance that I DC I mix up stuff from the kitchen or use indian powders. I have other AO products, some Qhemet products, and other random natural stuff for when I feel like doing something different, but that isn't often. I realllyyy like my staple products!

I use about 95% natural products and ingredients on my hair and skin (also use on baby's hair and skin too). I love the Ayurvedic products, but I also use AO, J/A/S/O/N, Kiss My Face, etc. I find a lot of these hard-to-find and expensive Vegan products on vitacost.com, which just happens to be based in my state, so I only wait like 1-2 days for my stuff to arrive, even if ordered on a weekend. I made it a plan to switch gradually to 100% natural products for skin and hair about 4 years ago. Since then, I've gone from mostly commercial chemical-laden products (like shampoos with SLS) to more natural items using coconut cream base, for example in their 'poos and conditioners.

My regi is simple. If wearing my hair "out" (i.e. not under a wig or sew-in), then I usually wear it in a damp but (wet bunning). I just CW or wash with diluted CON green label/AO shampoo, then follow with whatever condish I think my hair needs at the time.

For leave-ins, I apply my own "juice mix," S-Curl texturizer spray, a creamy strengthening leave-in, shea butter or olive oil cream, then seal with an oil and sometimes top with a gel or serum, depending on what my hair is doing (e.g. whether hard to detangle or not). I top with gel (moisturizing, natural, ETOH-free) anyway, because it gives me wave/curl definition.

If I'm wearing my hair "hidden," I have the same above-mentioned wash and leave-in regi, but I will braid while damp in 2-4 braids, airdry, and wear a LF. I apply all the same products except hair gel. When I used AO for the first time in 2006, I noted an immediate difference in the look and feel of my hair. Then, I realized that my hair and scalp preferred natural ingredients. This fall and winter I will start making my own hair butters. I already make my own custom "MTG" oil. HTH!

i went throlugh a period of time (about a year) of using exclusively organic products ,i ve also followed this regimen during my pregnancy .the following products are SLS/Phlatlates/parabens/chemical free.
Here is what i used
Ak'in Jojoba Shampoo this is the absolute best natural shampoo i ve ever used it leaves my hair super soft without that weird sticky gummy feeling some natural shampoos leave behind.
Ak'in Avocado Conditioner Thick and moisturizing ,it doesnt beat Aubrey Organics but it gets close.
Australian Organics Shampoo for normal hair (added a bit of jojoba oil to it)


Anita Grant Shampoo Bar Unscented you defintley need to use baking soda (clarify )before using this bar otherwise it will leave a residue,it leaves my hair soft and its very gentle.
Anita Grant Whipped Butter There arent any better butters than this one.its like thick concentrate pure goodness .You know kinda like homemade cheesecake.
Anita Grant Cafe Latte :This is a leave in -heavy butter to use very sparingly as the one above ,its very detangling and its been my staple for years.

Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Conditioner:Great,Great stuff ,moisturizing ,detangling,leaves my hair incredibly soft and doesnt need anything added to it .
Aubrey Organics White Camellia conditoner :Again great stuff ,i wouldnt reccomend the shampoo as it left my hair dirty .
AUbrey Primrose Detangling spray :It does what it says,its a good product but the baby powder smell is overpowering .

Ladies what do you use as an intense deep conditioner?

I use alot of natural products but still revert to other products for intense treatments
 
I'm not apl anymore =( But I'll recommend a few product lines and products with absolutely no chemicals.

Trader joe's nourish spa still has chemicals, if I remember. But their new Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner has absolutely none. It's very good, decent amount of slip.
Aubrey Organics B5 gel and Mandarin Gelly are good natural Gel alternatives along with Qhemet Biologics Honeybush Tea gel
All of Aubrey's products contain no chemicals.
Oyin as well
Qhemet Biologics
J/a/s/o/n
Kiss my face still has chems in it.
Nature's gate still has chems.
Kinky Curly has one chemical in their Knot Today of moderate hazard in the cosmetic database.
KBB is great but ladies have trouble ordering online.
Shescent is amazing.
MyHoneyChild
Afroveda

KBB's hair mask
or
AO HSR mixed with honey, oil and aloe juice.

Usually the second, because it's cheaper and readily available right down the block. A lot of ladies suprisingly just use their regular conditioner and add things to it.

I'm somewhere between SL and APL unstretched and MBL and WSL length straight.
I use:
Shea Moisture Raw Shea Restorative Shampoo
Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque conditioner (I also cycle between AOHSR, AOGPB, Giovanni SAS and Jessicurl WDT)
Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-in/detangler
Kinky Curly Curling Custard styler
Unrefined Shea butter sealant
Henna/Indigo every 4-6 weeks for color
 
John Masters has a great line of organic products.

i also like Aubrey Organics, J/A/S/O/N and Giovanni lines.

i use these in addition to my regular oils, hair butters and raw ingredients like hydrolyzed wheat protein, silk peptides, etc (camdengrey, garden of wisdom, from nature with love), and ayurvedic products.

the rest of my natural products come from the grocery store: banana baby food, yogurt, buttermilk, coconut milk, molasses, honey, vegetable glycerine, aloe vera are the first that come to mind.

as far as my reggie, it is based in ayurveda, but when i tweak, i use the above listed products.
 
Been using natural products for 10 months and my hair is shoulder to apl length (natural). This is what I use:

Rice bran for oil rinsing. Avocado butter or olive/ grapeseed oil for sealing.

Faith in Nature conditioner as a base:

I make a leave in adding xanthum gum, olive oil, essential oil.
For a moisturizing milk: 1 part spring water, 2 parts product, olive oil, essential oil.
For a DC I add an egg yolk or I use coconut cream, olive oil and cocoa powder, or AO GPB or White Camellia.

Giovanni 50:50 shampoo.

Homemade flax seed gel or KCCC.
