let it begin !!!uh oh! Is Shima-Gate '09 about to begin
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.
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.

Excatly!!!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.
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

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.
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
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 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
And, why post a thread about it when you know her history with the board?
Shima, girl, is that you? :
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...

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?
