Hey y'all!

So why did NC send me a bottle of KBB Sweet Ambrosia and the consistency is totally different than what I ordered last year (after the bottle changes)? This one is thicker and absorbs into my hair better - I think my previous batch had too much glycerin. I'm scared for my order of the Super Silky now.

Who you tellin!! When I got the SA last year, I wasn't a huge fan of it besides it's detangling capabilities and just figured they changed the formula when she switched to the new bottles. But now that I have this new bottle I'm like, well this is diff too! When I saw the changes in the DC, I decided not to order that again...and even if I like the SS I dunno if I will order again b/c I can't take all these surprises...I guess KBB really is like a box of chocolates...

yea im through with kern. i know i said that before but its true this time lol. i cant stand not knowing what im getting. i know for the fact that whatever is in though cream jars are not what they used to be. so what are the ingredients? whats on the jar and website are two different things. shoot, i aint messing with her.
the mask used to be a staple but ive found better.

Yea, I said I was done with her too...but that Vanilla Latte keeps pulling me back... :look: I just need to quit cold turkey. Last time I spoke to them about the ingredients on the SA they told me they were working on updating the site...yet the ingredients have been wrong on there for like a year. And it bothers me because those are the ingredients I keep seeing people use in their reviews, and glycerin is an iffy ingredient for a lot of ladies.

That's really too bad Ladies.:sad:

The consistency isssue is definitely a deal-breaker.:nono:

Not real sure why/how this happens tho', especially with someone that's been in business as long as Kern 'dem.:look:

Now some of these other Johnny Come Lately's....I can kinda understand.:lol:

Even tho' it sucks too.:perplexed
 
I know this is a super dumb question, been reading through this forum and I'm lost with the use 1 buy1 thing.... plz explain?

well ORIGINALLY it was about using 1 product before you buy another. that way we would get out of the habit of hauling for the lawd. but ummm yea, we lost that a long time ago. we just buy what we want when we want.

...and the thread has evolved into more of a place for us to get together and chat :yep:.
 
I really wanted to purchase from KBB. I never tried her products b/c when I wanted too there was a thread about how she was treating one of the members here so I passed. I guess I will have to pass.
 
I used up a BFH Desert Castor Seed and a bottle of JCBO. And an Njoi Ayurvedic butter.

This week, I'll probably purchase some Anti Snap, CPR, and the 2 new Njoi butters. I'm considering some KBB and Qhemet.

That's why I'm so baffled! I have not had a bad experience with her products (as in they didn't *** my hair up), but I don't find them to be so key to the health of my hair that it's something I'm willing to put up with? But I guess she has a cult following...

Now if you were making everything urself one bowl at a time with a kitchen-aid set all of ur stuff would be different too lol - did yall see that yt vid for how she makes the hair cream lol?

bronzebomb thanks so much for the suggestion! I will try that this month! My biggest problem is that I look at stuff for the bottom line price instead of for the worth...some people are like $10 for a headband, no way! And Im like its just $10 lol!

If that is the case, then she should not be producing products for the masses. It's one thing for them to look slightly different - if you're whipping it up yourself that can easily happen with a couple of seconds more/less in the blender, but them performing differently is an entirely different story. :nono: Why would people continue to buy products that may or may not work depending on the batch? And those products are not cheap...

And I'm like this with ALL natural hair companies...the Donna Marie Super Buttercreme was a staple of mine, but the last jar I got separated, so it instantly got kicked off my HGs. Oyin whips up their stuff as well, and even has mixing parties, but my Oyin stuff has always been the same. Other customers may have issues here and there, but it's not a widely known (and often accepted) issue like with KBB.

my problem with kbb is not that the products perform differently. my problem is that i know that the ingredients changed and shes not giving up the ingredients. i dont appreciate that ****(sorry, but it makes me mad). she changed the hair cream 2 or three times and wont admit it. thats screwed up that i can look at a website and see a list of ingredients and decide to purchase the product but when i actually get it, the ingredients on the jar is different.
at one point her hair cream went from being a shiny whipped, soft, fluffy she mix to a hard flakey shea butter. thats not a mistake at all. and i had been buying that cream for 2 years so i knew the difference. now the cream is back to looking ALMOST identical to how it used to look. it soes perform the same too.
also the ingredients say there is no glycerin but i know there is. if you use this cream your hair will swell because of the glycerin. it wont do that with a regular shea and oil mix.

the sweet ambrosia has the same ingredients just in a different order. glycerine is now the second ingredient so i cant use it all year around like i used to.

At the rate the poll was going on FB that doesn't look like it's an option. I don't even understand folks. Why wouldn't you want free shipping too? You need to spend $70 to get free shipping but I haven't bought from Qhem in like a year so I will be fine. I just checked the poll yeah it's not looking good for free shipping :nono:.

That's exactly what I said when I saw the poll; it's baffling.
