These commercials make me cringe just like the old Easterns Motors Commercials (ugh **shudders**) use to in the Maryland, DC and VA areas.

Just this weekend I actually interupted a woman shopping, minding her own business, and told her to put those products down and get ORS instead
I too hate those commericals. I told her they didn't work (I never used any of their products
)
She took my advice too

I'm using Dr. Miracle's spot serum for my edges. After hearing a lot of you ladies on here talk about how horrible it is, and how it doesn't work, I was hesitant to try it. So I used ORS and it didn't do a thing but leave me greasy.
So I decided to give Dr. Miracle's a try. IT WORKS!!!
I've had thinning edges since I was a teen (from tight ponytails). I've been using it only on my hairline, and it's growing back, even after having a biopsy done by my derm., and him telling me that my follicles were damaged, and that it wouldbe like that forever!
As y'all say here "some things may work for some and not for others".
Y'all are right. That's why y'all should stop telling people not to buy Dr. Miracle's products. Is it more important to be mad because the guy is white, or is it more important to grow hair?
Y'all need to let up on the anger that y'all have for the white people, Koreans, etc....... and just use what works.
It works for me and the people that told me about it. It worked for her and her mama.
So it does work!

In response to the bolded, it is not a matter of "being mad because he's white". The issue, is that a brand marketed to Blacks, is using advertising demeaning and unflattering to Black women reinforcing stereotypes and a standard of beauty that are due to our Euro-standard of beauty.
He could have used a variety of other types of marketing campaigns that work beautifully.
The issue with "the Koreans", related also to these discussions, are business practices clearly meant to keep Black business a day late and a dollar short. I love South Korea, I've studied there, enjoy the culture, language, people, etc. WHATEVER YOU ARE, if you specifically keep any ethnic group out of making money within their communities WHETHER IT IS "MY" GROUP or not, that is not a matter of being business savvy. That's being underhanded. I don't have to contribute to such with my money.
Clearly, their products must work to SOME degree. Otherwise the brand would have ceased to exist long ago. However there are MANY others that do, without using marketing campaigns particularly targeted to Black women that are so negative and in many ways insulting whether your hair is chemically altered or natural.
It is annoying enough we reinforce such "unpleasantries" among each other. To see that someone outside of your "experience" key into those same insecurities and use them to make money -which won't be returned to any of your communities in any way- is particularly disheartening.
That's more what's at work here than "just hatin' on the white guy", in my little, golden opinion. For me personally as I've had more "white" friends than "black" it would be foolish for me to hate anyone just for being "white"...they are 98% of my social circle! I can however, dislike you for being underhanded in whatever your field of choice is REGARDLESS OF RACE.
I'm not picking at you, just trying to fill in another view that your responses brought to my attention.
NOTE: An example of the "unpleasantries" mentioned above: Ads (TV or magazine) where a woman with dry looking natural hair or dry, unkempt relaxed hair who is often darker skinned and broad featured line up on the "before" side and a lighter, fine-featured model (often with light eyes!) with straight hair is the "after". Though being a prettier model, intentionally, she looks better than the rest of the lot on the "before" side.

Girl, let it go. You're way too angry. You're gonna have a life full of anger if you don't let these kind of things go. Dr. Miracle is not gonna change.
If you watch rap music videos or listen to them, they do the same thing (degrade black women), only, they are black men doing it, which doesn't make it any better.
Anyway, it's not that serious.

hmmm...i dont really watch commercials when they come on. i usually do something while they're on or mute them etc. but i do recall seeing the dr. miracles commercials and i never "cringed". i wasnt insulted and i'm usually on top of that kind of stuff. what was offensive?

Hmmm....she didnt sound angry to me...?
She don't have to "sound" angry. All of that heated passion in her words are angry. All of that, just because a white man makes a black haircare product and to her, makes black women look bad. All of that stems from being angry about the commercial. Do you get what I'm sayin'?

Hmm she didnt sound/look angry to me either I think both of you are essentially making the same point but in different ways.
I have used Dr. Miracles when the Wig cap ripped out my temples and nape area and it worked really well for me. Haven't actually seen the adverts but product was recommended by a friend

I don't necessarily think it was anger, I think it was--as you said--heated passion. And there's nothing wrong with being passionate about resisting negative representations of black women.
In fact, I believe more of us should be so passionate. Stereotypes and degradation are rampant, both in our own community and in the larger, non-black world.

Well said. I agree with your entire post.
I don't use, nor do I encourage others to use, Dr. Miracles because of their marketing campaign, the fact that they won't put all the ingredients on their products, and because I've heard so many horror stories about them.
It just seems to me that their whole business practice is not something I want to support, especially because they insult me and others who look like me.

I believe in picking my battles. I think getting so angry with these companies is a waste of time and energy, because they are never gonna change. Why waste your time and energy on them? It's like beating a dead horse.
Another thing. Their products do work for many people. I'm not trying to be Dr. Miracle's buddy, but I am glad that they came up with something that worked for me, and quickly!
I don't get heated over stuff on tv. As long as it works I'm okay.
Now, if they were wearing KKK hoods, then I'd be outraged. But cause their hair looks tore up???
