{Grabs car keys . . . heading to Whole Foods . . . must find KCCC!}

Since this post has been resurrected, I can report that the WF on Ponce de Leon Ave in Atlanta had all the K-C products in stock when I was in a week or so ago.

Saw it at the Whole Foods in Wynnewood, PA.

My local Whole Foods was listed on the Kinky-Curly website for a couple of months before I saw it stocked on the shelves.

I saw the KC products at the WF in Durham, NC.

None today in St. Paul, MN.

What about the Whole Foods in DC, on P ST? Does anyone know about that?

Are you in NYC? Because that's exactly what I've experienced - none in the Whole Foods here, but SHELVES of it in Ricky's, all nice and fresh in the new jars. And in the Ricky's on 14th St. and Union Square, the KCCC shelf is right around the corner in that store from the entire Deva line!

It's so funny that you mention this, because today I literally went to the Whole Foods in Chelsea (7th between 24th and 25th) and bought the very last KCCC jar. They didn't have KCKT, which was disappointing, but I was surprised (and lucky) that they had KCCC at all. I asked one of the associates last week if they would get any in, and she said they get it every once in a while but it flies off the shelves. This is the only WF in NYC I've been to that has a separate Whole Body store, unless I've been looking and have missed them.

I checked the union square WF right before, though, and I made a separate trip up to Chelsea! I had no idea there was a Ricky's right there!

So far, I haven't seen it at all in the WF in Tribeca - and it didn't look like there was an empty spot where it should have been, like if it had sold out - it just didn't look like it was there at all. Haven't checked for it at the WF at Union Square, since I keep forgetting when I'm there, and Ricky's is right across the street, kind of diagonally. It's right next to Lush, it's on actual 14th St. across from Union Square. But good to know it's at Chelsea - that's a great Whole Body shop they have there.

Anyone know about the WF at Time Warner Center?

I checked about two weeks ago at Columbus Circle and I didn't see it -- then again, I have a really hard time finding any hair products in the WF without a separate body shop. I'm pretty sure that if they did have it, I would have seen it -- the Time Warner WF is really more of a food service place than a supermarket, though, I think. The actual store part is relatively small.

I used to go to TWC all the time when I first discovered WF, but now it's just so much easier for me to go to Tribeca after work, because it's right by my office, or Union Square since it's so close to Ricky's and the subway entrance is right outside the door. TWC and Chelsea are more out of the way for me.

Ya'll some st8 up busters being able to live in PJ havens...J/K...but, I'm jelly b/c my local WF does not carry Kinky Curly and seems puzzled and confused when I ask for them to special order it from their own other locations or Kinky Curly.

masa_inn · 04-15-2009, 05:58 PM

Both Marietta and Sandy Springs WF sell KCCC in Atlanta.

pilateschick · 04-15-2009, 06:26 PM

The entire line is available at the WF in Memphis TN.
They started carrying it after I went to Nashville, TN and purchased it!

LisaF1163 · 04-15-2009, 06:48 PM

Okay, as monkeygirl reported on page 1, they do have it for sure at WF in Union Square, NYC, but they were sold out. The only thing left was a well-worked tester jar, but they officially are carrying it. I hadn't taken any chances - I already had bought my new jar at Ricky's before I went to WF to pick up a few groceries, and finally remembered to check their Whole Body section.

Oh, and Sexyspirals - they had one bottle left of the KCKT.

xcptnl · 04-16-2009, 06:02 AM

I have not seen it at any of the Whole Foods I frequent on my travels around Massachusetts.

But I have a brand new tub just waiting to be opened!! And this stuff lasts me forevah!!! So not sure why I am concerned - I guess I just want to know it could be bought quickly if needed.

LisaF1163 · 04-16-2009, 07:13 AM

I got my jar in February, and it's about half gone, and my hair is a chin length bob. So I think I'm going through it maybe a little faster than most curlies do? Figure I'll probably be out of it by around late June? Not sure, but that's still pretty good, considering how fast I go through product - my curls require a bit more to shape 'em, or they just droop. I put my brand new spare jar that I just bought in the fridge!

I know, that's annoying. But if it makes you feel any better, we pay for the convenience, believe me. While we do have all the products at our fingertips, they're not cheap. So despite being a stone's throw from three different places where I can get CG products, a lot of times I still hunt around online. For example, I just found an online store where I can get ALL of my DevaCurl products for a lot less. I also found my vitamin c facial serum that I can get in any healthfood store for $10 less online as well. So even though I can ideally just walk into a store and get them, it'll cost me a lot more.

And I still can't find KCCC cheaper online - I paid full price for it at Ricky's! That's been my mission since I found it - trying to find it cheaper online!
