Let’s talk about about white women can get a gallon of shampoo, a gallon of conditioner and a half a gallon of styler for a few bucks but products for kinky curly or coils mostly for women of color get 8 ounces or less of each for quadruple the price and we use more of each so end up paying more for less. Can any of these companies, large or small ethnically owned or not, female owned or not, to offer us more products for comparable costs??? Women with more textured hair should have to spend more.
Agree! Although I do understand that the ingredients we use for curly hair are more natural, higher quality and therefore more expensive than the cheap sulphate silicon stuff they put in straight hair products.
@@mandalaqueen828 only problem is we are always told it’s because we are getting something sooo much different. This happens often with many things disproportionately more expensive or different quality in regards to people of color. There is no reason for the drastic mark up nor amount of product sold. It’s a marketing ploy to tell us we should someone feel better for paying more for less. Most of these ingredients are very similar and only offer small % of differences. Keep in mind we aren’t getting homemade things from the garden. Uncharging poc or poorer people is done with many goods and services. It’s unfair and crummy that poc with kinky coily or textured type hair must pay more for less.
though surprisingly compared to every other product I"ve used, I always use less Lush volumne wise. But yea if you ask them like about the deep conditioners and stuff they'll tell you it's 'meant' for 1 use or 3 for the large ones. But we all get like 10 uses out of it cause eff that.
Glad they're doing this, but I don't think it's up to our community to support every effort to market to us. It's up to companies to decide whether they want our coins or not, and create products that actually work for us. We've been out here with money to spend. I want real choice and quality.

The problem is that the products are so small. You’d have to use half of it to get the results you want, therefore having to buy more after two or three uses depending on your hair length.
Depends on how concentrated they are. I have some smaller sized products that last longer than others that come in larger sizes but are less concentrated. We often use a lot more product than is needed.

Love this!! Would have loved to have tried if I didn't have locs... speaking of which can you do a loc'd based video or add another lady with locs... get the whole range of hair types in there?

For me, I'd rather spend the price point on Black-owned products. Afro- descended people are some of the only people with our hair type. I think we should benefit from the market that caters to it. It does mean I don't have a billion hair products, and I don't follow marketing claims made by brands. Much of the marketing pull on natural afro hair products is around moisture and strength, but also straightness (often disguised as manageable, softening etc). There's definitely a savvy-ness required.
It’s a black woman who created the new products. Her name is Saran can’t remember her surname. Look o. Their website, information is there. She used her sisters formula for the scalp oil hence why it’s called Renee Soufflé. The products are very good just extremely expensive for the quantity.
Reminder that Lush UK's CEO has admitted to donating thousands of dollars to an Anti-trans group in the UK and also recently made care packages for cops which isn't immediately a bad thing but people think it's in bad taste considering the on going BLM movement. Lush NA is under a different CEO, and has condemned them for donating this money. Just something to keep in mind when considering what kind of companies you want to give your money to.
Not sure what neighborhood you live in but imagine if there were no cops. Change is certain needed but lets not pretend criminals would just go away if there were no police. Support good police, prosecute the criminal ones. And if Black lives mattered to Black folk as much as we want them to matter to White people we would be much better off.
@@bellasviews666 choosing to support only cis women over all women is anti-trans. Because trans women are women and should be included.

They do that’s why it’s a billion dollar industry we make them rich...support black owned businesses at least put the money back in our pockets.
