That's it Right there mk! You just summed up the whole thing.

How HIGH are WE WILLING To GO?

We the one holdin' all the cards (Literally & the Cash)

:Blush2:Thanks T!
I'm not going much higher than they are now. Shoot I only buy when there is a sale

So if they go up guess I'm out. Have to start mixing up my own stuff which I enjoy. Just feeling lazy this year and I can afford stuff on sale.

Here the letter Mala release about the price increase:

She must think we are very naive. Shea butter, aloe vera and oils are not that expensive. It still doesn't make sense to me.

 

[chebaby]

shea butter is not that damn expensive. especially when purchased in bulk. also ayurvedic powders and oils and regular oils arent expensive. the only oil i see she uses thats pricey is red rapsberry oil, and thats only in like 3 products. she needs to come again.

anyway many people at work noticed my hair colorso i guess its more noticable than i thought.

i got my kbb and let me break it down for yall:
1) the jar for he mask actually looks bigger than the original jar. but the ounces is different. dont know whats up with that.
2) while my cream came full to the top my butter did not. my butter was like 2oz gone but whatever, this my last order anyway.
3) i see she still trying to get the cream together. its still different than the last two batches she sent me lmao. but the ingredients are the same (im being a smart *** here)
4) the peach passion doesnt smell all tha. i mean its good but i was expecting darcys peach and i didnt get that.
5) the cherry smell is so light i f=dont understand the point in making it in the first place.

 

[chebaby]

oh and i left out my BEST observation.
i think i figured out why she changed the packaging. well when you get a box from her you sometimes get a little black card with a black lady on it. well this time i got a black card with a white lady on it. i guess shes trying to branch out. makes sense now.

The card came with your KBB Che? I got the card with the black lady in my order.

I like the peach scent but I have never smelled Darcy's peach.

I'm slowly trying my ceramides and protein condishes to see which ones make my hair act crazy. I used the Komaza Moku Conditioner this morning and it is good to go. I will continue using it. Ultimately I think I will only use the following in terms of protein & ceramides:

Komaza's Moku Conditioner
Komaza's Protein Strengthener
HV's Methi Sativa
HV's Moist PRO
HV's Acai Berry Phyto
Claudie's Protein Conditioner
Mozeke's Carrot Protein Conditioner
I will also use cassia, kalpi tone, and fenugreek ayurvedic powders.

I will use up the Mill Creek and Shikai Everyday condishes if they don't wreak havoc with my hair during this experimentation. Otherwise they will be going in the trash.

I will cowash 1x/wkly with either Moku Conditioner, Moist PRO, or Acai Berry. Every 2-3 months I will either do a protein dc or heavy protein treatment. Probably will alternate those.

Let me tell you I am set for protein. I know I keep saying I am set for protein and I am set for Qhemet, Hairveda, Mozeke, etc. I ain't lying and that is why I can easily do a no buy for 3 months. Shoot I might get crazy and do it for 6 months. We'll see. I'm tired of having all of these freaking products .

I just finished trimming my hair. I was going to go some where and have it cut but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I came up with all these excuses of why I should, but ultimately i knew how much I was willing to part with until Feb/March when I trim again.

I cut 1/2-1inch off. In most places it was like an inch. I had some terrible SSKs. 2 sometimes 3 a strand. Splits weren't that prevalent until I got to the crown and front/sides. I've always had more splits here. I don't know how but I cut a small U shape.

I did cut a bit from the right side to help it look more even with the left. But I was being greedy and couldn't bare losing too much length so I didn't cut the 1.5-2inches that really needed to be cut to even the sides out.

I'll do a S&D over the next couple of days to get more of the SSKs out that evaded my shears.

Here the letter Mala release about the price increase:
price-increase

That letter is a bunch of tomfoolery, now if she listed special ingredients like egyptian herbs and oils from mecca that had to be shipped over, maybe maybe i could kind of understand. But i know she didn't say shea butter and aloe vera. If this is true, whoever her vendor is, is laughing straight to the bank because she is getting robbed.

 

[Charz]

screw afroveda, she can kiss my pj a$$

yep. i got two cards. one with a black lady and one with a white lady. the white lady looks like the actress from pirates of the carribean but i dont know if its her.

 

[chebaby]

oh and my anita grant shipped today. i hope i get it this time next week.

Girl yes! And she sounds dumb as rocks even giving that explanation.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I just laughed when I read it. I'm going to need a better excuse then aloe vera.

 

[mkd]

LMAO at us both posting dumb as a box of rocks.

 

[Ltown]

Hi ladies! Well AV loss is someone else gain$$$. There are so many other options and opportunity for others to make their own and capitailize$$ If you really compare the product ingredients imo they all are starting to look the same, and really just because they put something on the label first does it really mean it's the most amount or the order of preference listed is correct?? We don't know but I'm saving me some $$!!!

 

[La Colocha]

I just laughed when I read it. I'm going to need a better excuse then aloe vera.

Right especially since a few weeks ago i purchased a 32oz bottle of a 100% pure aloe vera leaf juice for $5. Get the hell outta here *new jersy accent*. That's ok, let the customers go to the other vendors and help keep their prices down.

Hey Ladies........

Will have to go back & read Mala's Madenss Mess.

Guess what? I got ZERO Packages today. Nada. Negative. Zip. Zilch. Nuffin'.

I am trippin'.

And no.....Still no Afroveda.

She had No Sale. No Discounts. No Nothing.

And it will be exactly 4 weeks soon.

 

[chebaby]

T, thats messed up you still havent gotten your afroveda. wasnt the money suppossed to go to staff???? i heard she had her sister in law mixing and everyone was saying their order was messed up. i dont know how true that is though.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

And no.....Still no Afroveda.

She had No Sale. No Discounts. No Nothing.

And it will be exactly 4 weeks soon.

AND I Have NO PRODUCT ! ! !

It's Mindblowing. She can't be that busy filling orders

Even without the recent price increase

As Fab would say: "they're a Grip"

 

[La Colocha]

For anyone that uses qhemet products on a consistant basis, some of them contain glycerin. Does it effect your hair in the winter time?

 

[mkd]

I am so curious to see if AV takes a hit on the price increase. I guess there is no way for us to know.

This is the 1st (and last time) I purchase anything from her without a Sale or Discount.

Hmp.

Almost a month to ship.

Anyone, or use them at all in the winter? Yall know how the weather is where i live, i was wondering if the burdockroot buttercream works in the winter. I didn't want to start a whole thread. I want something heavier to seal with but not too heavy for when the temp drops.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Okay Ya'll....here's the deal:

Njoi is having a Customer Appreciation Sale this Weekend and......I happen to be one of those customer's she appreciates....

I may have to pick up a little something.

Not sure yet. It will depend on what kinda Sale she's offering.erplexed

But I do want to stay "Honest" with you all.

*breaks out in the brother franklin*

 

[mkd]

La, I used the BRBC and the AOHC last winter but in all honesty, I didn't really pay attention to how my hair reacted to glycerin in colder months last year. I guess its something I will take a look at this winter. I am sorry I can't help more.
