Got my Shima Oil yesterday...Tried it...Nice...

I support Black businesses especially when the goods that they sell are for for the benefit of black individuals. When it comes down to black hair products being created and sold by black people I am very supportive of that because it is a win win situation.

Well I was so curious I couldn't resist. I tried the Shima Oil and it is a nice oil....creates beautiful sheen and has a nice Ginseng scent.

Please I don't mean this post to start some big controversy...I hate when we can't support black business. As a black business owner myself I support them and the efforts it takes to succeed, profit and contribute to the empowerment of black people. I tried the oil....nobody else has to, and I may never buy it again...let's see how my hair does.

I have a dental practice and believe me there are black people who have attacked me with all kinds of assaults...personal and professional and of course these things aren't true....I think there is an element of jealousy there and an impression that if you are in business that you are making a mountain of money so you immediately have to be lying or dishonest or something. Simply not true.

Nice Oil.

Got me staying up all late, knowing good and well I need to go to bed.

I've thought about getting some Shima Oil, although I know that I can make it myself but I also know that if I can't buy the ingredients at Wal-mart, it prolly won't happen.

FYI (anyone that's reading): If you buy/try/whatev a product/vid/whatev from Shima and you want to post a review, it's prolly best to just post your review and not get in to anything else. Spares a lot of feelings that way b/c there are a lot of people here who still have a bad taste after all this time.
 
Sticking strictly to the merits of the oil, please post the results ASAP. If this turns out to be the next "miracle in a bottle", all will be forgiven as we race to try it.:lachen:

I don't believe in "miracles in a bottle". I believe in healthy hair care practices, although there are some really good quality products that significantly improve the condition of the hair. I'm sure that's what you meant.

I tried the Shima Oil again last night (she says to use every other day) and my hair was shiny and sleek

Nah that can't be her. The way Shima talks/writes is very obvious. She would've been screaming at us to do a protective style "sheet that door now"
:lachen:

Anyway my curiosity is going to get the best of me and I'm going to end up ordering her oil. I love her videos.

I really don't like how Shima lying about LHCF testimonials for her products and then coming back here to argue and defend her lying has turned into 'a lack of support for black business'.

I do not begrudge anyone who wants to buy her products. Knock yourself out, but I don't think it's appropriate to try and rewrite history when it comes to the stunt ole girl pulled.

Ok...after reading this and another post...I now understand the hesitancy to support her business,did not have the full 'scoop":yep:...the lying was definitely not a good move on her part :ohwell:; however, all things (personality,lies,trickery) aside, it may be a great product:yep: I guess her reputation has preceded her in this case (support I am speaking of)... how unfortunate:ohwell:

I like your positivity. Yea, I did notice in the DVD she had Wonder 8 Ginseng Miracle on the vanity. I use that sometimes too...I gave up the Botanicals oil because in the very fine print it said it containec Mineral Oil.

My hair did wonderful back in the day with Wonder 8. I remember it being a good product.

I won't bite for that one.

I plan on using it as I would any other OIL. Oil seals. And hair grows approximately 1/2 inch per month pretty much no matter what you do.

I know what OIL does but Shima is the one claiming that she acheived all that growth from it that is why I asked the question.
 
Why does she always go on about how 'looooooooooonnng' her hair is and how 'super thick' it is?

Where did Shima ever claim this? I didn't see this claim on her site, any of her advertisements or any of her videos.
 
I actually just watched shima's youtube video yesterday she has a cute accent
but even before knowing the controversy i had a feeling that her head isn't screwed on right :grin:
to the op, im so interested to know how it works for you and how much is it??

my curiousity might get the best of me too
and as for making the mix myself i'm too lazy for that :lachen:

hahaha...you have to be joking...look at her main page of her site

http://www.shimahair.com/

In this video she says she used the shima oil when she went from shoulder length to waist length in 10 months

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPnjpEowmKo&feature=channel_page

At the very end of this video it says "SHIMA OIL EQUALS LONGER HAIR"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpbtbvF10LM&feature=channel_page

And they are several other statements she has made regarding this.
