Why are "NATURAL HAIR" products so expensive

[Lucky's Mom]

Got any recipes?

I don't give out any recipes - because that post tends to create 8000 more... with questions and such....and - no offense - I am not here on LHCF very often becasue of grad school.....Additionally - what might work for me - may not work for you.


I suggest you going to some of the sites like natural mixtress

I agree with you OP. Its ridiculous. I love to support black businesses and I try to BUT it does get ridiculous with your paying 27 dollars for a jar of KCCC and 14 for KT plus shipping. Its like come on, why do we do this to our own. You over charge for a product that geared towards women of color and statistically speaking blacks (people of color) are the most disenfranchised/poor group on the planet. Its like get this 20 something dollar conditioner (plus shipping) or go to Walmart or Sallys and get something for anywhere between $2-$10????

But its like that for anything good and healthy because i do a lot of organic and natural groceries and its a hot mess how expensive everything is. I never tried the Jane Carter products because paying 20 dollars for that little bitty product was a major turn off. I buy Giovanni's direct leave in and its 8 bucks but thats more reasonable then other products and its in stock at the local health store

I have wanted to try KCCC all summer, but couldn't bring myself to pay that much and then be disappointed.

I shop online for my hair care products but I've never paid $20 for conditioner before shipping SheScenit has a 8 oz for $8 and Hairveda has a 16 oz for $7.75. So it doesn't have to be expensive you just have to find a vendor that meets your needs

I have paid about $16 for 6oz conditioner before shipping, and it just is not reasonable with the amount of hair I have. I use Lekair for conditioner (because it works) but also because I can get 5lbs for $14.
