Please tell me if I'm crazy. This woman was selling a hair serum that as usual, claimed to make hair grow. I asked her what was in it.. why would I buy something without knowing what was in it, right?? Or am I crazy? She sent me a message back saying something like "I only use the best ingredients". So I sent her a message back, because I know that people are hesitant to share stuff like this because they are afraid someone is going to steal their intellectual property, and wanted to reassure her, so I listed the ingredients for a cake, but didn't provide measurements and told her – OK now make me this cake.
I was trying to make a point that you need measurements, instructions, bake time etc. to make something right. It doesn't matter if you know the ingredients. Cooking and making hair products is basically chemistry.
She sent me a response back still not telling me what was in the product and said take no offense but in this instance, the Ruach ( holy sprint ) was telling her not to share. Which is absolutely ridiculous to bring God in this matter because He knows all and He knows I am not ambitious so wouldn't be creating a business using someone else's products recipe. I struggle to make my family dinner ... im not finna make no hair stuff on top of it
I told her it was fine, but I won't be buying and let her know that what she was doing was actually illegal. I provided her with a website that explains that she has to list the ingredients on a product that she's selling to the public. She then made a post claiming I was aggressively seeking her ingredients list and that my response when she refused was a red flag. Like what? I asked her one time, when she refused i assumed she was new to the handmade business because experienced vendors know they have to list the ingredients, so tried to reassure her by sending the cake recipie without instructions to show her an example of why she shouldn't be afraid to share stuff, then when she sent me a message back insinuating I had some ulterior motive, I got irritated, told her I wasn't goi jf to be buying and told her she's actually operating illegally. How is that aggressive? She also said I was coming across manipulative...what? Then to make a whole post about it?
I thought most people wanted to know what was in their hair products. Am I crazy? This is what she wrote in the picture below. So I'm crazy for wanting to know what was in a product someone was selling? Would you ladies buy something if you didn't know what was in it? Is it still illegal not to disclose ingredients? The website I shared could be wrong...
