Shampoo: Creme of Nature Red Clover & Aloe (for dry hair and flaky scalp)
Conditioning Treatment: Creme of Nature Jojoba & Olive Oil Moisture Active Deep Conditioning Treatment (for dehydrated hair)
Post-Conditioning Products: Now Personal Care 100% Natural Coconut Oil (from Whole Foods) and
Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Split Ends Mender
New MUST Have Tool: Goody Detangling Brush. Two Words: Life Changing. It's a less expensive version of the famous Denman D4 brush that I found out about over at BrownGirlSpeaks. It looks scary at first, but trust me--if you have textured hair, wavy to kinky (like mine), this brush will make detangling a breeze. While my hair was still damp, I put a little coconut oil on it, sectioned it into four sections and worked my way through each section starting with a handful of ends and working my way up to my scalp. I was brushing my hair all the way down to my scalp in no time. Since I had access to my whole scalp, which hasn't happened in forever, I decided to treat myself to a coconut oil scalp massage. I used the Organix Split Ends Mender on my ends before tucking them into braids before bed.

I will definitely be picking up one of those brushes - I've been doing a terrible job of getting all the way to my girl's scalp lately, and this seems like it will do the trick. Thanks for the tip!

I have that brush and it works great! I'm a firm believer in deep conditioning. I do it every Saturday! I haven't used Cream of Nature products in years but when I did use them I liked them. I've been using Phytospecific it's available at Sephora while it's a little pricey. I love it. It's plant based so I don't feel like it dries my hair out like some shampoos! But I do like to switch shampoos once a year(don't want my hair getting to used to something)so I will try Cream of Nature!

Hey - where can we get these Creme of Nature products? The link is in the UK - I can't go quite that far ;)
