During lunch I decided to go to a local international store I saw listed that carries JBCO. After locating the unmarked bottle, I asked the person behind the counter for the price and in matter of fact tone he said $29.95 erplexed I was so shocked I repeated myself, " For this bottle?" Yes. "That makes black women hair grow long, that stuff is like gold" he replied. I mentioned to him that I bought it online for a much lower price and I didnt understand why he was charging so much He then said "Somebody will buy it". I then left the store.
The sad thing is somebody WILL buy it in their quest to grow long hair.
Also, if anyone here is a distributor, here's why your stores will not reorder quickly... they have been told "by someone" that they have something that black women will pay any amount of money for so they will have old dusty bottles on their shelves until they find that desperate customer.
God is Good
Once I returned to work I was ranting and raving under my breath about the price he wanted for JBCO. My co worker asked what was wrong.......
Me: "Hesitate, not wanting to go into why I'm putting JBCO on my hair but ok with her thinking I'm not regular " Oh, I went to the store for some castor oil and it was too expensive.
Coworker: Really? Walgreens has it for cheap, where did you go?
Me: I went to an International market for a special kind that is suppose to be better for you.
Coworker: We use castor oil in my country too, he good for your here (Uses hand to pretend to pull poop out of butt) and it is also good for your hair (Uses hand to pretend pull hair out of head).
Me: :ha: That's why I wanted it too. Did you use the Jamacian?
Coworker: Jamacian who? (English is her 4th language)
Me: In your country did you use Jamacian Castor oil?
Coworker: No. No Jamacian's in my country.
Me:What kind of castor oil did you use in your country?
Coworker: Nothing special. Regular from drug store. Our drug store like your walmart. You buy in the store in the same place you buy........exlax.
I then began to inquire about her hair habits and this is what she shared.
She always had hair to her hips as a teenager. She keeps it cut to midback now.
She used henna up until she left her mother's house at 18. (it was too messy for her to do alone).
She used castor oil on the ends of her up until 18.
I'm going to start using regular ole castor oil, since JBCO distributors in my area want to rip me off and my co and her entire country have gotten good results.
