Fluffed out twistout into a puff. Slicked it back with some Elasta QP Mango Butter and Long Aid gel. My puff is kinda big. I had an audience when I was walking down the street.:lachen::lachen:
 
Added to my QB BF list (or next sale :look:)
- Honeybush teas soft gel (almost finished with the container I have
- Twisting butter.
Well if enso has a decent sale I may try something from them as well....
 
Enso's statement via FB for those interested



Greetings!

In light of recent issues surrounding Enso Naturals and it’s company structure, I wanted to take the time to issue a statement to our Enso Naturals friends and family regarding the questions we have received.

My name is Desiree Cole, better known as Dee Cole, founder & owner of Enso Naturals. On 8/8/2011 our email account “customerserviceensonaturals.com” was compromised and several receipts were forwarded to customers using the name “Nicole Crowe” as the sender. For our first time customers, this may have been alarming due to the fact we are doing business as Enso Naturals. Our customers that have emailed and received replies from our business email addresses in the past know that all emails sent from our company email show up in your email inbox as Enso Naturals. We do not own any personal email addresses for our domain. After gaining access to our email server and taking various measures to protect our webmail account, we have yet to have any issues with email receipts bearing a name other than Enso Naturals.

We are asking that anyone who received a “confirmation of order” email from “Nicole Crowe” to forward this to us at sales[USER=321695]ens[/USER]onaturals.com , as we are currently involving local authorities in this matter. We take the privacy of our customers and our brand identity very seriously and will not tolerate such malicious acts.

Furthermore let me also address and confirm that Nicole Crowe has never had any affiliation with Enso Naturals directly or indirectly.

Our company has received many emails regarding why I choose not to have a personal biography and photograph and I would like to set the record straight. After working with several personal care laboratories, which manufactured hair care products marketed towards African American women, I decided to leave the corporate arena, and begin my own hair care line. Due to my formulary background, my business manager and I felt it best that I work behind the brand to avoid conflict of interest scenarios, as I did help formulate and manufacturer products for various private labels.

In my scope of practice, this is very common due to the fact that many well known brands are manufactured under the same roof. Without listing company names, there are many brands sold in beauty supplies across the nation that do not include detailed information and photos on their website about the founder and formulator of their brand. This is typical of larger, more commercial brands who choose not to use a personal story to engage the customer emotionally and drive additional sales.

Additionally, all businesses in the state of California must maintain current business licensure. Enso Naturals included. We have filed, yet are currently awaiting our Limited Liability paperwork from the state of California. Once we receive our licensure from the state, information about our company structure will soon become public via various government websites and outlets. What this means for the customer is that any questions regarding the business owner of Enso Naturals can be answered by conducting a business search on the state of California website. Viewers of the search results can expect to find the legal business name as well as the legal owner of the business. In addition, our credit card processing company requires the legal business owner provide a valid photo ID, and copies of business formation documents which must provide legal owner, address, and banking information which are then verified by an underwriting team before a merchant account is granted. What this means for our value customers is that you can trust our company as well as the individual behind the business, as we are backed by a financial institution that has thoroughly checked our credentials.

In conclusion, we will continue to provide unparalled customer service and quality products that you have come to expect from our brand. We would also like to issue an apology to our customers that have had to deal with the aftermath as a result of this incident. We can assure you that we have taken precaution to prevent such issues from happening in the future, and that we will follow the steps necessary to hold the party(s) accountable for these acts. We would also like to thank all of our customers for their continued patronage and support of Enso Naturals. For those that are apprehensive about patronizing our company, we pride ourselves as being part of a free market and that means many choices for you, the consumer. We hope you find products to meet your needs even if you choose to purchase elsewhere in order to do so.

Blessings,
Dee Cole
 
Thanks curlyhersheygirl I think this whole thing is a mess. As I stated in my post in the thread that went *poof* We will never know the "truth" about this vendor. No matter how many times or how much evidence they show that indicates they are not MTM there will be more people telling them they are. Either way I could care less because life is too short to be worrying about a hair care company that never took any of my money. They need to stop feeding into it and just let it blow over people will still,buy from them and if they are in it for the long haul these are what we call growing pains; if not they will crumble. After all the e-hair community is only a small share of the market and if they are not trying to go after larger segments they weren't going to make it very far anyway.
 
Hey divas :wave: so I hate the way my hair feels :nono: I guess that Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste did not work well with the SM restorative conditioner. I hope it feels better after today because it just feels weird.

I think I may sell or swap my other Tiiva DCer. I still have a few uses out of the 1st one I have opened and I don't even know when I'll get to the 2nd jar.

ETA: fall is right around the corner so I will be looking for some new wigs pretty soon. Thinking I may re-invest in Outre 1/3 wig emily and try for the 1st time outre mina

Hi ladies, checking in. I have stopped using the avocado silk as a moisturizer because i want to stretch it out. Don't really know what's going on with jasmines so going back to dcing with the avocado once a week. Last week i purchased taliah waajid style and shine hair cream from walgreens and i really like it, it smells just like the bodifier mist, still pissed about the change with that. But these ingredients aren't bad at all and it makes my hair soft. Will get a few more jars to store somewhere, the way these companies are going it will be gone or changed next month,:look::lachen:.
 
Thank you curlyhersheygirl, I will be purchasing Enso again if they bring back paypal. Like you and I chatted earlier that Aloe Marshmallow is :lick: I have low porosity hair and it has taken quite sometime to find moisturizer that feel great! Bee Mine Luscious is a staple and have been for quite sometime because nothing compared. The Blue Malva and Aloe Marshmallow are up there in status with Bee Mine. So given my troubled past of finding products that work, I'm willing to take a gamble.
 
divachyk Do what works for you, forget what others think. I'll be watching closely because I love Enso, but I'm also pretty well stocked for a while.

I took my twists down this morning for a twist out. I'll rock it til Saturday then I have to straighten for a trim. My semi-retired stylist is going to work just for me to get my hair trimmed. I love her!
 
lmao people are so funny. it is your money so if you want to buy from enso no one is stopping you. but to say that because they didnt take YOUR money is heartless. and ive seen that written several times in this thread. it boggles my mind how people cant seem to sympothize with others. i didnt get my money taken from MTM and i dont know if she really is behind enso or not but i can feel empathy or sympathy for people. saying because it didnt happen to you so its not your issue is heartless.
and there is a difference between continuing to buy because you dont believe that she is MTM, and continuing to buy because you dont care if she is or isnt because your money wasnt taken:nono:

anyway i slathered my hair in evoo last night and today i cleansed with ASIAN cleansing conditioner and detangled with cj smoothing lotion. then i did a wash and go using kbb SA as a leave in. my hair is soft and bushy.
 
@Eisani - I purchased several samples (ETA: samples of Enso) so I'm not as stocked as I would like to be. Too often in the past I purchased larger sizes and didn't like them so this go around, of all times, I opted for samples and love the samples. Go figure.
 
chebaby - has your sales gone through? Of all ppl to take interest in my thread was someone who APPARENTLY doesn't sign on to LHCF daily. She hasn't signed on since a few days ago when she PMd she wanted the products. I'll give her until tonight to respond or I will bump my thread and unmark the items as pending. sheez.

yea the sale went through but i cant make it to the PO for at least a week so i refunded her money. the person who purchased from me isnt someone who posts often either.

Ladies, I know this is not popular opinion right now but tonight I moisturized with Enso Aloe Marshmallow (or whatever it's called) and it was very moisturizing. :lick: My hair is feeling good right about now. +2 for Enso - Blue Malva and now Aloe Marshmallow. :yep:

@divachyk It's not unpopular ova' here.:rolleyes: I'm skrait. I'm grown. I've never received anything but great CS from them and I personally think it's a shame. And I'd put money on the fact that 1/2 of these folks a) have never bought the products anyway b) didn't even get scammed on the Jewerly.:ohwell:

Honestly, I don't think peeople are being heartlless when they say they don't care what's happening with Enso because "it wasn't their money" (but I can only speak for myself). I think when people say this, it has nothing to do with empathy or sympathy I think it speaks to what's going on in those threads. I don't care who owns Enso now or if they did take my money (in this case they would just need to come up off the $$ if I didn't receive my ish). Perosnally I can sympathize with the people who have lost money due to enso, but I'm not even sure if this has happened to anyone, but I still could care less if the owner was MTM of Joe Whodunnit. But I 100% agree with you on the bolded.

13StepsAhead In My Opinion, Unless you were 'personally' duped, and a victim of the scam, for me, it's nothing more than a Witch-Hunt.:ohwell:
 
Soooo, my Hairveda shipped yesterday. I'm just waiting on my Jasmine's.

I'm going to use some My Honey Child this week. That Molasses conditioner, forget the full name.

IDareT'sHair I agree with you I just can't get past the fact that people are so consumed aboout what IF it is MTM; however, no one seems to care about the harsh reality that's settling in for someone's business that may be ruines behind speculation. I was not a fan of MTM or have I ever tried Enso, but I would hate to have been this business owner (if they are not MTM).
 
13StepsAhead JUST SAY "NO" Man...Just don't Buy it then if you feel all like that about it. Just KIM.:lol:

And if you did lose money on the Jewerly check to see if the Statute of Limitations have expired so you can go and try to re-coup your money. Lawd....How much were the durn Earrings???:look:

btw: I'll swap you a Tiiva DC'er for a Jasmine A&S....:yep:
 
13, i agree with you about if it isnt MTM then enso could be ruined. and i think thats a shame. i wouldnt want to be behind ruining a company over something that isnt true.
HOWEVER, enso stated that they were hacked. i dont care if MTM is behind it or not, how come no one has gotten an email telling us that they are sorry to inform us but the site has been hacked a our information could potentially have been compromised? even if you pay with paypal that means that the hacker still has my name, address and email address at the least.
i would want any business to inform me that my information could have been stolen even if it wasnt just to be on the safe side.
and when people asked them why was someone elses name on the email instead of them saying "OMG im so sorry but there has been some sort of mistake....." they send a C&D order:lachen:

:yep::yep::yep: @ The bolded and we sure can swap just as long as it's not a wild strawberry, that was the only scent that was a bit skrong for me. Just PM me
 
I guess I don't know why someone would hack your email to send confirmations to you. Seems like they would be asking for money...not confirming your order or giving you a tracking number...JMO
 
Okay, me & @13StepsAhead got our Swap on.........:look:

I just used Claudie Isha Hair Cream and will Seal with EVOO:lick:

@beautyaddict1913 The Karady Tea Hair Mist is wonderful for Herbal intensity. The Hydrasilicia (IMO) is a cutesy spritz. Something to spritz with just because you want to spritz. :lol:

But The Karady packs a real punch.:grin:

@chebaby What you doin'? I hauled a big Claudie Haul.:drunk: I need to be done for the month, between:

Enso
Claudie
Darcy Botanicals
*Still no Marie Dean* Slow...Probably won't ever order again.:perplexed
Re-Ordered that Camille Rose from ol' MNHS.:look: *don't judge*

Yeah, I've spent a grip.:blush:
 
nothing, just wondering why my hair has been looking shorter lately. i noticed it i think on monday and someone mentioned it to me today. but i think its just my hair has been shrinking more due to the products im using. when i have a ton of moisture in my hair(like from cj rehab) my hair hangs more.
ive been thinking about straightening my hair to see how long it is but i dont know.....
last time i straightened was in Jan.

i do have a party to go to this weekend so i could straighten for that.
