Semi-Bonafide Product Junkie

I confess that I am a semi-bonafide hair product junkie, lol! I am always on the search for that perfect product to use on my natural hair. The catch is that I prefer products with natural ingredients and try to avoid products that contain sulfates and parabens (read here http://www.starflower.com/Dangers-of-Parabens_ep_32-1.html .

I have to give the title of the Bonafide Product Junkie to my girl Deb shown in the picture. She's been natural longer than I have and introduces me to ALOT of products, but I've done my fair share of introducing her to some as well. Well....I'm on the prowl for another product and I'm facing a challenge trying to get my hands on it! I absolutely love the products I'm using now but it's way too pricey for my budget.


I'm currently using Earthly Delights found at Whole Foods. The Tropical Rain Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hair Growth Stimulator Pomade is HEAVENLY but runs about $50 bucks for the three! The shampoo and conditioner bottles are 16 oz, but my husband has fallen in love with the products so we're going through it pretty fast! I also use extra virgin olive oil from time to time in my hair for nourishment as well.





The other product I like is Taliah Waajid's Black Earth. Great product but it contains both the good and unfortunately bad ingredients that I try to avoid. The price is moderate and it was a time that I could only order it online. Lo and behold I recieved an email from the owner and found that I could purchase it at ONE local beauty supply store in town!




NOW, I'm hearing rave reviews about a product found only at a store called Trader Joes. The shampoo and conditioner is called Spa Nourish and is very inexpensive. There are no stores here in my state. They claim to be old fashioned and won't ship online. I can't find any online retailers that carry the product either! The closest city and state where I can purchase is Nashville, TN!! There are stores in Chi-Town so I'm going to make a phone call to my college bud to see if she wouldn't mind picking some up and mailing it to me! I love her dearly and would do the same for her. I'm a junkie without a doubt...
