Oh my gosh, I am almost embarrased to expose a list. Because it is very extensive. However, I will save shame face and give you a few: Henna, Alma, Brami, Shikakai powders and Vatika and Alma oils, Mega Tek, variety of Conditioners , butters, and creams. And lastly, many items that accomodated Aryuvedic practices. Okay I lied, " a few".
BT, Hydratherma Naturals, ORS, Pantene R&N, Gvp silk remedy, amla, shihakiki, maka powders, msm, ultranourish hair vitamins. Nearly everything I use on my hair.
Everything in my closet cuz before this board the only think I had in my hair stash was ORS Shampoo some African Grease Motions Conditioner and a bunch of 0.44 combs from the hair store
* aubrey organic's gbp conditioner - so far, so good. i'm still building my reggie and needed a protein conditioner. decided to go with ao b/c it's natural and raves from this board and others.
* mop extreme moisture - needed a deep conditioner with good ingredients. so far, so good.
* nexxus aloe rid clarifying shampoo - just bought and used this a few days ago after board feedback that i may need to clarify (i did). i liked it but looking to trade it in b/c of the ingredients. will likely finish this bottle (b/c i don't like to waste money and it works) but want a product that's more natural with sls. plus, it smells like detergent to me, which doesn't inspire confidence. i'm afraid of my hair being stripped of the good stuff too.
* ntm silk-touch leave in - didn't really know anything about moisturizers before i found this board. heard a lot of raves and researched other boards as well and bought it. love it!
* jane carter nourish and shine - read a few great reviews, liked the ingredients and fell in love with this product especially in conjunction with the ntm silk-touch.
that's it! i try not use a lot of products.
