I really like the Curl Define. I tried the Totally Twisted Ginger Almond Butter and was turned off. The ingredients seperated; there was a huge oil film on the top of the product. I'm not going say I will never purchase this product line. However, I will consider purchasing Curl Define with a coupon AND Free Shipping. I am also concerned about the Customer Service; it takes entirely too long for shipping. As a matter of fact, I think this increase help me to realize that I can make this stuff myself.
I have learned to never purchase ANYTHING that's not on sale. Everything goes on sale. (Even Miss Jessie's has a BOGO! Afroveda will need one after this bad publicity gets out there!
I think that some of these smaller businesses sometimes rush in without planning. She said there is only one person at the helm so this one person is trying to do everything. She should have sat down with a business professional and ironed out the foreseeable kinks ahead of time. You don't wait until the two year mark to realize that it's costing you more money to make and ship the product than you'll make in profit on each unit and then have a huge price hike. There's a difference to the consumer if you start out pricey as opposed to starting out affordable and then slamming them two years later.
BTW, is this company related at all to Hairveda? I haven't tried either line.
