I diluted my TW PMB, I like it better that way and it should last much longer. I have minitwists on my left side although I think I should make them bigger next time. They are insanely small. It has been so long since I actually bought a product online (Vatika Frosting in the early spring) that I am cringing when I look at the prices for shipping.I know what I want(but dont need), I'm just not willing to spend 70+ bucks for free shipping. I might not even buy anything during the BF sales, I dunno, whether or not I want to changes everyday.

I was thinking that too. I dont think kbb uses bases but if she did, please believe I would buy gallons of it.

As you know, KBB was having her own "Customer Service Related Issues" :look:

And...She was already on the Hot Seat! :blush: Afroveda Gate, just prolly further tipped the scales.

I guess you didn't keep up with the Threads:rolleyes: about the using of Bases to make products, the inconsistency in the quality/integrity of the product, the horrible shipping costs, the long wait times, the 'real' cost to make some of the products versus what was/is being charged....etc....

The threads/stories about the price-hike and the using of bases but alot of other On-Line Sellers on Front Street.

Me Either. Now that they ALL been put "ON NOTICE" they all know what it's going to take to compete for our Money!:lol:

So, in a strange way, it was good that it happened.:perplexed :look: :lol:

I think afroveda gate let a lot of customers know that they can whip us these products for a fraction of the cost. If we spend good money on these products, we should get prompt and good service. I think the handmades are feeling it in the pocket because we now know what's up. If a line isn't make original products, I think it will be hurt.

What about FREESHIP60 for products over %$60.00? Can't you use that? Isn't that good all the time?:look:
Click to expand...

yea you can use it but if you do use it instead of paying the $1 for next day air you cant use the 15% off coupon. paying the $1 is like getting shipping practically free and getting 15% off.

I skimmed it a bit...but whoa. I'm pretty brick and mortar when it comes to my products. I would like to splurge on handmade stuff but my pockets wont allow it at the moment. I whip up stuff when I can so if something doesnt work for my hair (which is odd, and hardly happens) I will try to salvage it or give it to someone it would work better on. If it has seeped over to affect other companies it must be huge.

I think it did affect other companies because it seemed like they started putting alot of other vendors on BLAST and they got thrown under the bus too.

But hey, it's all in what you like and who you are going to get the best service from (if you're an on-line shopper).

It's good that you can whip stuff up. *envious*

And we're alot alike that 'most' stuff pretty much agrees with us.

Thats just stupid to me, if I order a product and it looks one way, and looks like it says it should on the website and then I order it again and it looks different, that right there is reason enough for me to not buy from said vendor. I mean I could see if I was told that there would be a change...but if you cant keep a consistency with your products maybe you shouldnt be in business.

It might be worth it to you to read up on that thread since you like mixing up your own products. Maybe you can get some good deals on some of the 'bases' and other products.

Shea butter is my #1, but I am willing to substitute with some Crisco if need be. I found a local spot that sells SB straight from Africa so I am good. I don't need butters from online vendors, if I want them I can get them but I dont need them. I'm a PJ in recovery, I could relapse at any second but I'm holding on and so far so good.
 
i know T, they aint gonna have me in the kitchen sweating trying to deep condition my hair. ill probably have all kinda white bits and clumps in my hair :lol:

I'll look into that when I deplete the stash I've got. Right now I just mix up the 'dudds" add some oils and try it out.
 
I don't even Henna, I've got some but I have yet to use it. With my luck I would screw up the goos thing I've got going.

I think it is something you should seriously look into. It would be worth it. Especially if you like to "Mix It Up" That thread has all the bases for all the products (or most of them anyway)
 
I am about to wash my hair and try the cj products again. I am counting down the weeks until I can do the aphogee 2 step again. I think I have 2 and a half more weeks before it will have been 6 weeks.
