It came like this. All i did was shake the jar. I email Afroveda and Sage with a picture about the product. I made a purchase through Sage. Im waiting for the both of them to email me back. I also told them the weather here in Biloxi is only 67 degrees so it have nothing to do with the weather.
 
shes probably going to say that due to the natural ingredients and the fact that it is handmade, it is hard to get each batch to look the same. but the performance and results should be the same.
of course thats not true because the one with more oil wit result in weighed down greasy hair while the other may be just fine.
or they may blame it on the vendore you got it from stating that maybe they kept it too long before selling it.
 
Thats crazy. i dont even wont my money back. I just want it replace with another batch. In if the vendor kept it to long that not my fault. They should explain to them how long they should keep it because it start to affect the product. The new jar with the oil is oily and the other one is smooth.... This is not right.

Okay but for real.. I see we having to take matters into our own hands...
Shea butter really is 3.99/lb at this place.. and the shipping is reasonable...
I think for 5 lbs.. it was like $7 for commercial shipping... and like 8.5 for residential...

Madina Industrial Corp - M-214 (RAW YELLOW SHEA BUTTER)

*fabulosity* and all the other ladies, i can VOUCH for this place. wns n i went there. the yellow shea butter, avocado oil. the fragrance oils, and some other little oils are on POINT! OMG I loove their shea butter. I got the white shea for an overseas member here (you know, in the American round up for her lol) and she loves it. i use that shea on my body though. havent tried my hair. i also bought the M by mariah carey perfume oil...LOVE. yeah, yall get the point.

i'll stop now :lol:

ETA: Lemme tell yall now, before yall roast me lol, the shea butter is not like jam packed into the container, but you do get a good amount for the price. ive used my 1lb cont to mix 2/3 batches of body butter, 1 batch of body scrub, and i still gots mo'. maybe about 40-50% left. And, of course, those batches lasted me a good while individually. HTH

These here are hard times and vendors ackin like they don't want none of this lil bit of money that is floating around. Cuz if they did want some of this money right here they would get they act right. They act like they hold all the cards.....hehehe they foolin themselves.

Che, Ive been peeping that. I think we have an unspoken lub for them moisture milks. geesh, i luh dem condishes!
 
Love Harmony that looks terrible, get your $ back.

Fab, thanks for the new connection, this is why I love this site sharing information.

Vonnie I said it here before I file BBB complaints and get results. Posting here is not enough because only lhcf members see it, vendors do business with other forums/non-forum customer. BBB complaints is worldwide so everyone to view.


IDareT, I'm sorry for you because you have been a promoter for most of these vendors and to ignored and treated this way is ugly.

I've ordered from most of these, not a fan of the products but HV has proven they listen. Even if they take forever to produce they listen to complaints.


Do anyone use rhassoul clay and where do you get your? I seen some clay called indian but don't know what that is.

Lawd, that stuff should not look like that, . That mess right there, that is what you get for $20 bucks? That is the reason for the price hike. Smdh

WOW That's not right. I would ask for her to exchange it or give me a refund.
As Che said that's what we were talking about you waited so long to receive that crap.
She thinks that's worth $22 GTFOH.

Relaxed ladies what are you doing to your hair the week after a touch up? Protein and moisture or just moisture? I am thinking about using duo tex and a kenra con/elucence con.

BrownBetty:grin:

Clarify
Re-Neutralize
*Moisturizing 'Poo *but Imma use Eulcence Acidifying for this
Co-Wash -- I will use Nutrine Garlic
Protein -- I'm thinking about using Nexxus Emergencee

Love that looks like it was someone's first time trying to mix something up. Because that is how one of my butter mixes seperated and looked when i started mixing things. I don't believe the same person made those batches. I am hoping not, when it was just mala without extra workers those butters were perfect, when they were still 9 bucks and before she got the new 7 products. Either she got lazy or somebody doesn't know what they are doing and if its the latter why would you not check in behind someones work.
 
Ltown- Thanks for the advice. I submitted an online complaint to BBB. At this point I don't even want a refund from O.O. I just want other people to know how they get down.
 
I think I'm going to wear my hair down today. I've been wearing buns because my work jacket is fleece and I don't want my ends getting messed up from all the friction.

It's supposed to be in the upper 70s this weekend here!! I was so tired of the damp cold weather.
 
Vonnie: Your hair looks great! I rec a email (afroveda). Their going to replace my jar with another 16oz jar. They also stated that i can keep the jar or trash it (stating it should still be good).


Also were do you ladies store your butters?

when a company messes up on anything i put on my skin or hair constantly im not using the products. like La said, it may not even be mala making the products anymore. i didnt think of that. she would have to give me my money back lol.
and as i said earlier, people store their AV butters next to the left over fried chicken and mac and cheese.
 
*fabulosity* said:
Che.. that's where I'm at with it...
You should stand behind your products because it's your name or brand you're putting on them...

And I always think people without a return policy are shady anyway..especially when it's something like a clothing item... psht...

theeeeeees "close" to being done.. and these ain't even my experiences??!

Who didn't order some HV whipped cream that wants a bottle or some meat tenderizer aka hydrasilica "tea" spritz... :lachen:

I bought 2 of each.. and now I'm like I won't even get past this one...

This sounds delicious....adding to my list of things to buy.
 
How long does Madina take to ship? I really need some Shea Butter and I still havent found any in my area. There are very few naturals here and Shea Butter is way too hard to find. I've got more than enough oils but no kind of butter to mix it with...I am even out of the Crisco.

That went through my mind.
 
I store my butters in my linen closet because it's cool, dark. The ones that seem to melt easily (or when it got hot) I will put in the fridge.

I made a nice leave in using the Profectiv (in the yellow bottle) and some EVCO. It wasn't too heavy and gave nice moisture without reverting my hair. I'm going to do a braid out tomorrow, I think.
 
so i did henna again last night. this time i added a touch of amla so my color came out a really pretty dark auburn. and my natural roots are so dark and pretty. and my hair is very shiny while wet, not so much when dry lol.
 
Hey Ladies....:blowkiss:

Just got finished Steaming.:lick: Used up a Jasmine Avacado & Silk.

Numerous back-ups of this one.:look:

I also used up a bottle of Ori O Golden Jojoba. (I do like that conditioner:sad:). Ya'll I hate that I like it.:rolleyes: *cause i know i will never buy it again*:nono:

Will rinse out and dry in a few.
 
T, now i cant wait to use the one you sent me.
last night i used up a bottle of vo5 rinsing the henna out.
then i had to use another conditioner because i ran out of vo5. the only conditioner i had was a bottle of yes to carrots. i hate that conditioner but the henna must have done something to make that stuff stick to my like silk. in fact it took a while to get the conditioner out of my hair. i had this silky feel on my hair and it just would not get off(i know that sounds weird but the conditioner was stuck to my hair lol). anyway i finally got it out.
i dont know if im feeling any strength from this one however the color is darker and my hair has more volume and is more define.

today i deep conditioned with kbb mask and i like my hair today. i didnt use any leave in yet my hair is soft.
 
oh and im pissed my jamila henna i got in the mail is opened. i cant find the hole but when i take the packet out the box there is powder. and i heard your henna is supposed to come in a foil pack
and if its not its a lesser grade. well mine aint in no foil pack.
 
Going to moisturize today with knot today. I have my wash day routine ready

Prepoo- burts bees on the length only
wash- baking soda
detangle and condition- moisture maniac
deep conditon- conditioning balm and shea oil 20 under bonnet dryer
scalp- mixed greens
braid and moisturize with knot today sealed with dh's avocado butter

I also have finally settled on my black friday list.

Qhemet- 1 year stock up

2 detangling ghee
1 tea tree grapeseed pomade
2 castor and moringa softning serum
2 heavy creams- deep conditioning
2 deep conditioners-( if they come out by then)

Curlmart- year stock up

6 knot todays- or more, i am trying to determine how long it takes me to use 1 bottle up.

Hairveda- year stock up

1 of each scented oil that i don't have
1 of each buttercream scent that i don't have

Hopefully this should last me until the next black friday, the reason i am doing this much is because its supposed to be slow for us at work again next year. Hopefully not or not too bad but just in case i will already have my stuff.
 
Yes, i am going to stock up on knot today, i went to curlmart to figure up some prices and they are out of stock. I am glad i already have 2 bottles.
