But seriously, Shima if you're here, your hair is beautiful, and I'm curious as to what products, other than Shima oil, you use on your hair.

Can we please keep this thread on-topic? I understand how most of LHCF feels about Shima the person, but the OP started this thread about the Shima oil. Let's not ruin it for her.

Thanks

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

SG I will be good and just address the OP and ignore the white elephant in this thread:

OP, i am happy to hear that you are happy with your Shima oil purchase. I hope that it is something you come to enjoy. Update us and let us know how it works for you

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Well I was so curious I couldn't resist. I tried the Shima Oil and it is a nice oil....creates beautiful sheen and has a nice Ginseng scent.

Please I don't mean this post to start some big controversy...I hate when we can't support black business. As a black business owner myself I support them and the efforts it takes to succeed, profit and contribute to the empowerment of black people. I tried the oil....nobody else has to, and I may never buy it again...let's see how my hair does.

I have a dental practice and believe me there are black people who have attacked me with all kinds of assaults...personal and professional and of course these things aren't true....I think there is an element of jealousy there and an impression that if you are in business that you are making a mountain of money so you immediately have to be lying or dishonest or something. Simply not true.

Nice Oil.

Congrats op on your dental practice as well. Kudos

I really don't like how Shima lying about LHCF testimonials for her products and then coming back here to argue and defend her lying has turned into 'a lack of support for black business'.

I do not begrudge anyone who wants to buy her products. Knock yourself out, but I don't think it's appropriate to try and rewrite history when it comes to the stunt ole girl pulled.

I like this point you made. I don't think I was around for Shimagate, but whatever happened sounds awful.

It's not a lack of support for black business if you don't think the business is honest and managed well. We wouldn't excuse a white or other race business just because they are white (or other). Why should we make excuses for black run business just because they are black?

Business is business and it needs to be done well regardless of your race. Then it will be supported. If the business is done shabby, or crooked, it doesn't need our support, no matter what the race. You're setting up your own self to be scammed when dealing with people you know are dishonest.

Shima's hair is ALWAYS gorgeous imo. I wouldn't mind trying that oil either.

Which is why I'd love to know her regimen. I don't watch her videos, so if she has provided her regimen anywhere I'd love to know what she uses. Who wouldn't want hair like hers? It's long, thick, and gorgeous. Her hair has done a 180 from back in the day. Now that I think about it, she might have her regimen in her hair guide and DVD, and I'm not buying that. Her oil is a little too expensive for the ingredients listed and there are cheaper alternatives elsewhere.

Excatly!!!

I am anxious on the results as well regardless of everyone else that did or did not happen.. if it works well.... LET ME KNOW!

SG - To be fair though, the OP has one sentence about Shima oil and 2 paragraphs about not supporting black businesses.

To the OP, I look forward to your updates regarding the product especially around the 10 month mark.

Nice Oil.

Shima started her business on lies and used LHCF to do it.

I don't care if her oil would make my hair grow a foot each month, she will never get MY business.

If you're an honest business woman, don't compare your business with Shima's.

And please lose that "we don't support black business" speech. We praise black businesses (Beemine, Karen's Body Beautiful, Shescentit, etc.) all the time on LHCF.

 

[lisana]

I love it when folks start a thread off with "I'm not trying to cause controversy BUT...."

and i wish Je Ne Sais Quoi would not ignore the WHITE ELEPHANT, I really wish someone would let the white elephant come out and play...but i will leave this alone...for now

People try to use this on us all the time to break us down...like the black man's Kryptonite, we are supposed to hear this and all of a sudden lose the ability to choose who is worthy of our dollar and just order secret magic oil by the case.

I promised that I would behave. I know that if i say things it will take this thread waaaaay off track

 

[Chevelure618]

Are you hoping to achieve growth with the oil or are you using it just for moisturizing purposes?

ETA: I wonder if Sistaslick gave her permission to use one of her pictures in one of her videos...

I won't bite for that one.

I plan on using it as I would any other OIL. Oil seals. And hair grows approximately 1/2 inch per month pretty much no matter what you do.

 

[Chevelure618]

I am curious, did she lie about the ingredients of the oil; if not what did she lie about. If it is cheap and the OP's hair does well with it, I might try it.

ETA: if it is some controversy that should not be mentioned here, please PM me, thank you

Thanks. That's the idea that I always have here on this forum. If someone tries something and it can help someone else out, then its Great! I think we should all leave it at that. This was my only intent.

 

[Chevelure618]

And, why post a thread about it when you know her history with the board?


Shima, girl, is that you? :

No. I am not Shima. See? I wish it didn't have to be reduced to this. Now I'm censored to mention someone's name and product? That's sad.

 

[Chevelure618]

let us know how it goes OP

I'm all about supporting black businesses too

Shima did not lie about her oil.
she used fake testimonials, some were real but without permission from LHCF members I personally feel she has served her "time" now...

some people need to breathe, forgive and move on...

AMEN.

You all can trust me to give you an unbiased opinion about the oil, although everyone's hair is different, there are certain products that don't seem to be good for anyone's hair....(Pink Oil), and others that over and over again get raves (ORS Replenishing Pak or Aphogee 2 minute)

Did I try to rewrite history? Let's see. I came home yesterday and there was a small package on my porch. I opened it eagerly and put just a few drops on my hair that had been freshly washed the day before. I bone combed it through my hair until there was a light coating all over it. I stood by the window. There was a brilliant shine and the oil was very light so I also rubbed it into my cuticles . As she suggested in the enclosed booklet, but I do it anyway, I put my hair into a nice loose french roll. It was very silky. Then I thought I'd post a thread about how nice the oil is on the LHCF message board. That's it. Then today I come home from work and see 52 responses and thought "Uh-oh"....

I had no other intent than that. LET THE OP (me) PERSONALLY END THIS THREAD. But I will post if my hair does particularly well on this oil. OK?

Please, don’t go yet! I have a question.

Did you get her DVD’s too? Has anyone here ever purchased them along with the oil? Is the information mostly everything that is already on LHCF? What does ginseng even smell like?

Feel free to PM me if you do not want to respond publicly. I’m very curious!

 

[mrsmeredith]

Op please let us know the results. I am happy to know that it made your hair feel great. I hate this thread turned the way it did but please let us know how it works.

Actually, if anyone did not have a comment related to her topic why start mess? It's over move on, that does not take away from the fact that she may have a good product regardless of her tactics. Stay on topic, that's how things get locked. Shima don't start all the shimagates some people do.
