@natura87 Thanks Ms. Natura. :yep:

I keep wondering if the mass production of all these handmade lines, if they will start to add in a bunch of fillers and change the textures and efficacy.

It might be good big business for them but bad for us. *Boo*:sad:

I want quality..I think that may be why CR changed her ingredients...for it to be lest costly to mass produce. I love the Almond Jai twisting butter. I hope my hair likes the newer formulation.
 
natura87 I can't see these lines staying the same (quality-wise) once they hit Tar'get, Walgreen or CVS.:nono:

Folks have been saying the new Algae has undergone serious changes. Alot of mold and consistency issues was reported.

I even heard the Moisture Butter had changed (for the worse).:look:

I have 1 jar of te Original Algae Rx left. We can still always get it from AveYou or CM.

I havent even touched my Algae one yet.. need to get on that.

Yeah, while I like that is more readily available I hate that the quality can suffer. I'd rather it stay hoitytoity and high quality than for it to be available everywhere and be comparable to Blue Magic.
 
Ori was a good company but they did me dirty and gave me attitude wouldn't refund my money. I liked the products but one went bad fast.

I still can't believe ipn went poof like that. Seems like if we make a big stink they go bye bye.

I thought that wasnt until the 17th. Is it every Target or just a select few, cuz my Targets dont have the newer SM line or the KBB yet.:look: Not that I need it...I'm just sayin.

:look: I just saw it on facebook and I didn't notice a date so I was just going to see if it was there... I'm worried about formula changes so I may not even buy it!

Babygrowth Original Moxie products are nice,but pricey..Most of the items have a very strong herbal scent..Good thing about moxie,they contain Ayuvedic ingredients.

Happy Hair Growing!

Thanks for the heads up! I couldn't make my mind up so I ended up with nothing! That 40% is good though!

T you know I'm right we put a few companies out of business with voicing our opinons loudly. Some folks need us to try them to see if they can withstand the test. Alas many have crumbled. Some have stilled pushed thru.

I was considering trying the following products by Oyin:

Hair Dew
Burnt Sugar Pomade
Whipped Butter
Shine & Define

Have any of you tried any of these products? If so, did you like/dislike them? Why?

TIA

hair dew was my boo about a year to 18 months ago, been since replaced by HV moist 24/7

still use the BSP but not often and just on my edges/nape when doing a sleek bun or puff. For me it seems to leave a film on my hair and it doesnt play nice with other products.

havnt tried the others, mainly because I over Oyin :look:
 
Glad my SSI arrived today.

I got an email saying I got a package (i checked my phone in the middle of a nap). Had a dream I walked across that windy *** parking lot to the main office for my package and turned out it was a tshirt! :ohwell: :lol: I was like "why the hell did i even order this. i ain't have to come out here for that!"

ooh I was mad. :lol:

IDareT'sHair Orginal Moxie emailed me back..They it's for the appearal & if you want a hair item,they will send you an invoice...Nope,I don't want no cloths,that's ok.
I only order when moxie has a sale...

Anyone else with SSI have levels marked on their bottles? My two deep conditioners say 'level 1' and the avocado said 'level 3.' Maybe these are old labels?

But I'm glad the storm didn't slow it down any!

IDareT'sHair and Brownie518, I received my HH yesterday. I emailed HH to see if they upgraded my Jar of Joe to 4oz since my ship notice / invoice indicated it was 2oz. HH had not invoiced me yet so I thought for sure it wasn't upgraded but it was a pleasant surprise to see the larger one in the box. I heard back from HH yesterday (ironically enough) to indicate yes they upgraded and they had not got around to invoicing me yet. :look: I would get my money upfront!

She did a swap for me which meant I needed to pay more. She didn't invoice me until after she had already shipped my products. I would want my money upfront too. But I guess she must trust that u will pay it.
 
She got really, really busy during that last Sale 26% and had to get folks to help her get orders out, hence most of the spillage and the 1/2 filled bottles.

She was so busy tryna' get stuff out, that she didn't re-check alot of things her help had done, which caused her some problems with some of her orders. I'm sure after that, things have been corrected.

Hopefully, she'll get everything out soon and will check things before sending out. And get all caught up on invoicing etc.......

You KNOW I asked what happened.:look:....:blush:

I wish I knew of a local artisan I would help fill and package orders. It seems like simple, comfy work. And I like providing good CS.

Like if I had a business, believe I'd be putting my cousins to work and maybe even some of the babies if I had to :look: :lol:

I agree ^^^
 
robot. I have no doubt.... you would be successful.:grin:

Yeah, you have to go back and check/recheck orders even then.

If she wasn't in ATL, I'm sure you would/could lend a helpful hand. :yep:

:) thanks!

How has your cowl/scarf been holding up? I wanted to make you another but stopped crocheting once i started sewing :lol: I do have some scarf ideas in mind. I just need to find the right fabric.
 
@robot.

Perfect. And I get mad compliments.:yep:

You are so "crafty". That's Great. You got Skillz:lol:

The same thing kinda happened with Hydroquench. Innodated with Sales & Fulfillment can get overwhelming when you need reliable help to help you get through a large Sale.

Especially when you work, in school or raising a family.:yep:

But you still have to be responsive and cordial to your customer base and keep them informed. I haven't had any problems with either.

Now that durn IPN was altogether another story.:spinning:
