Wow, what a ripoff!

Just out of curiousity I did a search on Sephora's website if they had any products containing henna when I stumbled on a product called Global Godess Shine Coconut Amla Revitalizing Hair Treatment. It has nice ingriedients:


Coconut Oil, Neem Oil, Amla Extract, Henna, Grape Seed Oil, Avocado Oil.

and a $45 price tag!

Looks us like us LHCFers know where to NOT get our Indian hair goodies that's for dang sure.

hmmm? Were those the only ingredients? Someone could probably come up with a copycat recipe for a heck of a lot cheaper....unless it comes in a gallon jug (I haven't checked the link).

I've got all those except avocado oil. All of them combined (and in bulk) didn't cost $45!

$45? are they crazy?

Most hair products at Sephora are advertised at ripoff prices. That was the first place I saw that $195 Frederic Fekkai Treatment. Glad you saved your money.

Those were the only ingriedients and for just 5 oz. too. erplexed

Yeah, and that Fredric Fekkai overnight treatment for $195 is just plain insane.

Even if I had that kinda of money to waste, I wouldn't buy those products. Good haircare products don't need to cost that much.

What a joke!

I'm sure that more than 50% of us could make this at home

I went to an Indian grocery store to pick up some Amla oil. Sign said grocery on the sign but they had a little bit of everything in there. Videos, jewelry, and clothes. Don't think I didn't get some bracelets along with my Tandoori chicken and hair care. I wondered what East Indian women used to take care of their hair. It's usually long and shiny. Good ol' Google lead me to Amla oil and Neem oil came up. I bought the Vatika and an amla oil blend. The smell is not too pretty on the Amla oil, definitely not a leave-in product. The Vatika is mostly coconut oil blended with many other oils. It didn't cost that much so I'll see how I like it.
