lawd,, now i want to try shescentit


Shescentit is a great all around line. Almost anyone can find something they like from her. Her shipping is quick and her CS is fantastic. She is one brand that I can recomend without feeling guilty that people are going to have long wait times, ridicolous high shipping, or have bad CS especially via email. I do not have to add any if, ands, or buts to a Shescentit recomendation.

I could not recomend HV in this regard.

Yeah they are good. I got some goodie bags and 24/7 conditioner, step 1 of the methi sativa(sensitive to aloe vera, BJ let me order the step 1 seperatly) acv rinse, strinillah conditioner, almond glaze and some other stuff.

I really like her cocosta oil and her 24/7 conditioner is prolly my favorite co-wash. Its only like $7.75 for 16 ounces, can't beat that! The smells of her products are to die for too.

I am just prepared to get my stuff before new years. Oh well, I knew the wait times before I ordered so no worries.

I just read on Afroveda's blog that she is adding 3 new staffers starting January 2010. :clap:

Mala, the owner, was the lone staffer but now feels it's time to bring on additional help. She wants to improve her turn around time in terms of shipping and email communications.

She said working 18-21 hours is no longer feasible and at that rate she still couldn't keep up with demand.

She also has a temporary staffer helping her right now during the holidays.

Now this is a company that is trying to go places. And keep product junkies BROKE! :lachen:

Ok update on the Donna Marie. I just received an email response from the owner and the problem was brought to her attention (I sent an e-mail) and she is resending one for free! Ok, I'm not mad anymore. She was not aware of the situation. So yes, they are back in my good graces :look:

Still trying afroveda and shescentit though. My curiosity has been peaked :look:

The Curly Custard smells like orange sherbert and the Pur Gelly smells like light vanilla.

So I like them for slicking back ponytails and buns.

Charzboss, great reviews!!!


I love the smell of the Curly Custard. I use it for my ponytails/buns as well, on wet/damp hair. It really helps shape my curls, with a moisturizing light hold.

I received my Afroveda today. There were no samples, but the smell of the CocoLatte more than makes up for that. The smell of the Shea Amla will have to grow on me though.

I haven't received anything either!!! I'm getting annoyed because I would expect my orders on my doorstep within a month and the way things are going I don't see that happening.

I emailed afroveda last week about my midnight BF order and she sent out my tracking information. The only update was that the package info was received by the post office on Dec 9th. It doesn't say it was even picked up by usps... :sad:
ETA: tracking info was updated and I guess I can expect delivery on Monday.

I also ordered from Hairveda on 11/27 and emailed about my order. She said wait 10 more days from 12/10, which would make it a full month before I should expect shipment?!? I'm not very happy with the response at all. :wallbash:

The email from hairveda said to check the "order status link on the left" for updates. I'm not even seeing that link on the website. Can anyone help me out with this? Where should I be able to see my order status?

I thought I was going crazy for a second, or that I was a victim of PC-to-MAC incompatibility. I just searched the source code on the website and the word "order" was no where to be found.

I might email again to ask about this so called link...

My Shescentit came last weekend and my Hairveda came yesterday. I think if you got smaller orders or ordered early the shipments arrived quicker. I also didn't order the most popular items like the Sitirinillah which would be more complicated orders to make. I think if you take this into account it makes since that some order would take forever.

Last year this same stuff happened and people who order at this time knew that they would be waiting. I'm sorry that you are upset but I think you have to take into account you are paying for custom orders which is what we all want and should be grateful that they offer these great products at discounted prices.

on the HV forum, Reyna (the moderator) said she had a family situation to take care of, so she hasnt been able to answer emails. hopefully those of you who sent her emails will receive responses soon.

:yep::yep:

Also, there's an unspoken contract of selling personal-care items over the internet.

Since there are usually no returns allowed, and we can't see/feel/smell the product before we buy, we're taking a huge leap of faith by ordering from these companies. In return, their CS is supposed to be above and beyond, they should always include samples, etc.

It's part of the personal touch that sets e-tailers apart from larger businesses. But many of these black haircare companies are acting like they're Sephora. They've got it all twisted.


LOL! Sephora sends samples with every order!!!!

Well I've gotten all of my BF Friday orders...

Shescentit...hands down... professional.. but I've always liked Shescentit... Her stuff is sealed like its prepared for shipping; labels look nice. I want to try like everything...

Brendita's I really really liked... I spent a grip there and I'm not mad about it... I haven't tried anything yet but it looks and was packaged great..

Darcy's was very nicely packaged and she a sample... Plus she's right in Marietta... I wonder if she will allow pick ups.

Christine Gant was just like her etsy site classy and to the point ... All of her items were packaged well and smell good.

My Creme Brulee from Beija Flor was like 40% used looking; but I sent her an email and she gave me 50% off my next purchase. Which is cool with me. I lover her coco mango butter cream... that's gonna be a staple.

Still waiting on HV... surprise surprise... if I get it before the New Year... you'll be able to knock me over with a feather.

I’m still waiting on Darcy’s Botanicals. I had to e-mail her 12-10-09 about my order ‘cause it showed “processing” for the longest time (still does). She e-mailed me back the same day with the tracking information. So, why is my package still sitting in Jacksonville, FL (since 12-09-09)? I hope it arrives Monday. I'm in NW Florida.

This is the last Black Friday order I’m expecting.

I received Hairveda yesterday (5 sitrinillah DCs, 5 Cocasta oils, etc.)

The fastest shipper was Komazacare…..Ordered BF, 11/27/09; got it Monday morning, 11/30/09. (free shipping; no samples).

I’ve received Komazacare, Qhemet Biologics, Hairveda, Sally Beauty, fromnaturewithlove.com and Christine Gant (received a sample of Lavendar Red clover soap)

I ordered 3 Hairveda’s Herbal Green Tea Butters 12-02-09 and received my order 12-07-09 from adoringhaircare.com. Very impressed with their shipping time and costs ($4.95). Received samples, too.

I'm mad about my afroveda order. I made two seperate orders on the same day and she only shipped out one of them but not the other.
