Gotcha at the first bolded.
maybe now they are. i dunno, i don't stalk the thread. at the time tho when it was new and already many pages deep (this ish caught on like wildfire!) most people did not want to go through the effort of mixing everything and just wanted to buy the potion already made.
it doesn't matter tho, that wasn't my point. my point was that many people are buying or MAKING (like it matters) her magic potion and adding pure sulphur to it, the one item most can agree has direct impact on growth, and then they are continuing to talk about how good the potion is.
once additional ingredients are added it's not even the same thing anymore and people are just lying to themselves about how great the original product is.
anyhoo, like i said already women can do whatever; it's not like the potion is gonna make someone's hair fall out.
--> ALTHOUGH i did actually visit the lhcf thread dedicated to the potion last night after seeing this thread and read that recently someone was complaining of excessive shedding due to the potion and another helpful poster told her the shedding meant her follicles were being renewed or some such and it meant the potion is working. LMAO!!!! i almost died
don't mind me y'all, i have nothing better to do than hate on a poor woman and her clientelle. tho i would also caution those of you caping for her to find something worthwhile to defend.
Gotcha at the first bolded.

Why do people even buy into these 'potion' claims?
With all the information about healthy hair care and techniques, I don't get why women on hair forums buy into this mess.
Just moisturise, clean frquently, protect your ends and call it a day...

Stop being a dreamkiller! Some folks would rinse their hair in day old chitlin juice if there was a promise of miraculous growth. Let them be your entertainment!

I think elle's point was that it wouldn't make a difference if she measured w/ a ruler next time b/c she didn't measure it this time. So if she measures off camera, comes back in 7 weeks and tells us her hair grew 3 ins, we have no reason to believe her, and we're back at square one. She should at least do a video measure her hair NOW for documentation purposes.

Yeah that's what I mean. Or even if she does a proper length check NOW it won't mean a dang thing until she comes back and gives her update in 7 weeks or so, so saying she is going to do a check soon is *yawn* until I see the receipts.

I won't bother to quote the people who quoted me 'cause I'm still dying laughing at this playground rank that people are getting worked up over. But, this post is a response to those who quoted me. Like, seriously? Your self-esteem is tied to an elementary insult? Okay...relax, relate, release...
And, NOPE, it wouldn't bother me a bit if the comment came from a person of another race. If it would bother you, ok, that's you. But, don't speculate about what would bother me. I think logically before I react emotionally and I don't spread e-drama from YouTube to the hair boards. I've said way worse and if people were being real, they would admit that they have, too.
Well, this was semi-entertaining, but that's about all I have to say on the topic.

I have actually never been teased about having buck shots or anything about my hair. However, I do have empathy for those who have experienced relentless taunts about their hair or other things and how that may have effected their self esteem. We have all teased someone at some point in life; however, we grow up and mature hopefully resulting in more intelligent ways to handle issues.

Re: "Don't be mad cause ya'll have BUCK-SHOTS and can't afford to buy or make the Pot
I checked out her videos when she first came out and judging from this it looks like her hair is getting shorter. Wasn't it at least SL before? Did she BC or something? I cannot think of someone with less hair growing credibility. I can't imagine why I would pay her money for any reason.
While we're all interested in improving techniques and product usage to obtain more hair growth, I have to think some of these potion purchasers are just looking for the solution that requires the least effort on their part. Just like diet pills, penile enhancement pills, specials teas that promise to enhance your abs, lol.
It is nonsense but as long as people are lazy and highly suggestible, it will continue unabated.

I don't think everyone is lazy. There are people who are really having a hard time with hair growth due to stress, medical conditions, medications, heredity, pregnancy, etc. People who lose hair are traumatized , want the hair loss to stop and want their hair restored as quickly as possible. These people, myself included are desperate for a solution. I am turned off by people who prey on those who are vulnerable just because they can.

Re: "Don't be mad cause ya'll have BUCK-SHOTS and can't afford to buy or make the Pot
I think you're right. Not not everyone is simply lazy and looking for a quick fix, especially those who've had hard times despite diligent efforts. But I still suspect her fan base contains many, many quick-fix seekers who are not likely to find what they're looking for--real, long-lasting health and growth--from her snake oil.

Re: "Don't be mad cause ya'll have BUCK-SHOTS and can't afford to buy or make the Pot
You make a very valid point indeed. Well, the proof is in the pudding. At a 2 - 3 inch every 7 weeks growth rate, barring any trimmings, Valerie and others should show growth of about 14 - 21 inches in a year. It will be interesting to see how many women who started using the "potion" in May or June will have even half that amount of growth at the end of the year.

Re: "Don't be mad cause ya'll have BUCK-SHOTS and can't afford to buy or make the Pot
I thought she was a rude scam artist all along. It's quite frightening what people will do to get a couple of inches. If she had grown the few feet of hair she should have by now, then I would get the hype. But she hasn't and she's a nasty person on top of that. It's a shame that people are giving her 6 figures worth of business all in the name of "supporting black enterprise."
All the so called progress on the other sites looks sketchy too. These woman have no idea what they are putting on their heads. Each person says their product looks and smells different. They are excusing away their hair falling out, headaches, other side effects... It's scary that nothing she can do will stop them from believing.
And who doesn't own one tape measure/ruler/ piece of standard 8 x 11 notebook paper? If she's saying she doesn't use heat, how is her hair so straight...(relaxer of course). This woman is full of it...smh. Even before her BC her hair wasn't something worth looking at anyway. And stating that is not a reason for someone to hurl insults.

I got a bottle of Cheese Whiz to sell you. I mixed it with something else and it will grow your hair so quick. It is scientifically proven too, because of the release of lactic acid is beneficial to your scalp. If you don't want to make it yourself, I can sell you a bottle for $45.

Re: "Don't be mad cause ya'll have BUCK-SHOTS and can't afford to buy or make the Pot
I'll admit I'm on that thread
! In the beginning I did purchase a 4 oz bottle when it was at its cheapest. I used it on my edges for about two weeks. Then the hate for jamaican black castor oil came back to me with a vengeance so I gave the rest to my sister who loves it. I hate JBCO because that sh!t is fake and I have tried to tell my sister. When I used it before, I noticed that when you don't use it for about a day and it sits, there is this black ash that separates from the oil and sticks to the bottom of the bottle. I thought, hmmm that's peculiar. I shouldn't be shaking this stuff if its natural. So I quit using it because I thought I had a bad bottle. I have a friend from Portmore and I showed her the JBCO in a clear bottle and asked her about the ashy black stuff. She said that its from some kind of additive and shouldn't be doing that.
She introduced me to Eyl Castor Oil (unrefined and virgin black castor oil) and I now use that exclusively and that's what I used to make the "potion" or now I just say my hair oil.

Re: "Don't be mad cause ya'll have BUCK-SHOTS and can't afford to buy or make the Pot
I don't find the word "buck shots" offensive. It always makes me think of Martin and Pam and I bust out laughing.
I think what's offensive is her using the word "y'all" (if she really did) as if she's on some higher level cuz she slaps her whole kitchen cabinet in her hair nightly. Chile, please!
And this chile been gettin an inch a month like the rest of us and she somehow got a rack of idiots buyin this foolishness!! And she's flaunting it in your face by calling it "potion!!!!" If that isn't a dead give away that it's some fake "magic" foolishness that ain't gone do NATHAN to make your hair grow, idk what is! She could call it "Ain't Gone Do Ish" and I guarantee somebody would still shell out $16.99 for an 8 oz!

@OhsnapCnapp! I think that making your own is the best way. You know and control what is in the oil. You take suggested ideas and make it your own. People have been using the "potion" in one form or another for years.

"A fool and his money are soon parted." There is a price to be paid for ignorance. It's unfortunate but it's the way life is.
Really? I have found that many women would rather pay big bucks for some magic potion than take the simple, tried and true steps to long healthy hair. I know people who keep looking for some product that will grow their hair while they keep abusing it, and doing nothing different. I keep telling folks, to get unusual results, you need to do unusual things. Madness is doing the same things and expecting different results. But folks just can't break free from the habits that hurt their hair. I can't count how many of my friends almost had panic attacks because I suggested washing their hair more often. Yet they keep asking "what do you use?"

Chitlin juice consist of magnificent properties that excelerate the hair growth.
Some buy it from the store but I like mines fresh so I go out to a farm every 2-3 weeks to shoot and gut a pig for the juice. You know what? Maybe I should start a chitlin juice challenge.

I read this whole thread and viewed both the length check and apology. My two cents:
I find what she said offensive, if not to myself to anyone, she meant it to be offensive and so it was. I will never click on another video she uploads because I found her apology lacking contriteness, to say the least. When you apologize, you don't have to recount what the other did or said to make you angry, you simply apologize and end it with asking their forgiveness.
