I can't believe AV raised the prices for her 8oz butters to $21.50. I think she is outpricing herself or maybe I just think that because I am not all that crazy about her butters.

Is that just the brand new stuff or all of the butters? I know if she is using real emu oil from the bird that stuff is not cheap. But i could not justify paying that much for a product unless it just blows my mind and none of her products do that for me.

^^ Its all of the butters La. How does she justify such a huge price increase?

Un uh that is ridiculous , even the most popular vendors don't charge that much. I would like to see what the excuse is for that. I don't see people continuing to buy unless they are very loyal customers.
 
I tried to call her but the #1800 number is not working, i will send her an email. I haven't purchased from her in a long time but i know she was quick with responding with inquires. I remember one time her computer was down at home and she went to the library to respond.

I wonder if that is a mistake, its almost a 100% increase.
 
See and they wonder why Asian taking over our business. I said it before and will repeat my hair was fine before and will continue spend less at the bss.
 
Ltown, I totally agree with you. I am all for supporting black business and I like natural products but I am not a fool. What do I look like paying 100% more for a product??? That doesn't make a lick of sense.
 
I have many friends who own or are starting their own businesses. When they come up with their business plans they project price increases based on supply/demand, cost of shipping, cost of product, labor, etc. I don't see how AV can account for a 100% price increase. She should be looking into better marketing, different suppliers, things like that before charging everything to the customer.

For me AV has been to expensive from the jump.
 
I just got done with my hair and I have two reviews.
First is the tropic isle red pimento oil, I'm not impressed.
I purchased this to do scalp massages but realized that they marketed it more as a prepoo.
I can't see this as a prepoo for me,tried it but didn't work as well as my coconut oil.
i will say that it absorbed very quickly into my scalp but my hair was just as soft as if I had used any of my other oils. This will not be a repurchase.
Second is that conditioning cap that I saw in a video by splinta24.
I love this it works better than my heat therapy wrap.
I applied my dc then a regular plastic cap then the conditioning cap and it still did a great job and for the price you can't go wrong.
 
I just got back from sally's, i went to get some clips and came out with a bottle of conditioner:look::lol:. I got the gvp conditioning balm it was $4.00 cheaper than the one i bought at walgreens, same amount but this comes in a bottle. I have seen many good reviews and i wanted to compare the 2. The gvp also smells really good. I will use this today to detangle and dc, put her to the test.
 
Hey yall, im dcing right now, so far i can say is the gvp has only a little slip, but it was very easy to detangle my hair. And its thick, thicker than aubrey's. We will see how it does when i rinse it out. But so far not bad for $5.
 
Sitting here at my grandparents house waiting on the UPS man. I don't think he comes until 4pm or so. I want my flat iron so I dont have to keep coming back and forth for stuff. This is my last package until December. My SSI was still sitting on the porch with my grandmoms package since yesterday or Tuesday. Both were safe and sound.

No word from O.O. I'm going to file a paypal dispute. I was really hoping they would do the right thing (new product or refund) without me having to force my hand. Will also put this in the O.O. thread. I gave them a chance now I'm through being nice.
 
Sorry vonnie this happened to you, you have no other choice. If she is not responding to you maybe she will respond to paypal.
 
They just delivered my flat iron. I'm going home to open packages like its Xmas morning and I'm 5yr old.

I posted in the O. O. thread. May make a thread in the vendors forum too.
 
I like the gvp conditioning balm, made my hair feel nice. I am just chillin right now, i have been up since last night with no sign of sleep coming.
 
i had no idea afroveda changed the prices again. how do you jump from $9 to $12 to $21 in like a years time. and the ingredients arent all that. and why does the ashlii amala look brown in the bottle?

Che, do you ever wash n go?
Click to expand...

my go to style is the wash and go. i only recently started doing the twist outs. usually i co wash and wash and go everyday.

right now i am hating my hair. the protein treatment(dont ask me how) brought out my color more. but some of the color that was lighter than the rest is now so bright and looks a little green/yellow. on top of that my hair just does not look the same as it did before all the moisture and protein fix. i feel like going back to a twa.
 
tonight i am going to stop off at cvs and buy a box of color and some ice cream because if my hair doesnt turn out right i will eat the ice cream and cry mys self to sleep. im not one to walk around with damaged hair so i will be quick to shave it off and start over.

Che, do you think your hair just didnt like the aphogee? I just bought some but I am kind of scared to use it now. Maybe I should just use an egg and call it a night.

Aww Che, I am sorry. Maybe its not as bad as you think.
 
the aphogee gave me the protein i needed. it did perk up my hair and i noticed when i detangled i only got 3 hair in the comb so my hair is stronger. but i noticed when my hair is wet it feels a tad bit rough. i just figured that was the protein coating my hair. it feels fine when its dry its just in the shower i noticed the rough feeling.
i cant tell if thats normal or not since ive never done a hard core protin before. i think my hair acting funky is a mix of too much moisture and all the color i did.
a part of me wants to just shave it off but i think what i will do it continue to baby it and keep it in twists, twist outs.

tonight i am going to co wash with aphogee treatment, put some evoo on my hair and twist with a mix of oyin shine and define and burt sugar pomade.
 
oh and im not going to color it because i dont know if the color contributed to my problems. and maybe im just having a bad day. i cant tell really. im too quick to react sometimes.
 
I watched a few natural reviews of the aphogee on youtube today. I am just going to try it and see how it goes.
 
yea just try it mkd. i seriously doubt you will get protein overload but the way to get rid of it if you do is to just deep condition overnight with a moisturing conditioner.
