The same with Shea Moisture. I used to use the facial scrub, then it stop being available. When I did find it , it was very liquidity. Then during the Shots at the Shop cowned which was sponsored by Shea Moisture, I learned that the company was no longer black owened.
This is 99.9% true. The same with Shea Moisture. I used to use the facial scrub, then it stop being available. When I did find it , it was very liquidity. Then during the Shots at the Shop campaign, which was sponsored by Shea Moisture, I learned that the company was no longer black owened. If you look up black owned hair care products, that list is extremely short. Buy if you look up black hair care products that USED TO BE BLACK OWNED is 55 million miles long. Shot out to HEB. During Black History Month, they labeled all of their real black owned products as black owned, and it was a small amount. When those brands sell out , the formula changes, and it becomes hard to find. And this is why we ain't getting no dog on reparations!
Wow! I've used this brand for a while in 2022 and 2023 🤷🏽♀️ no issues with my hair. I'm wondering what kind of "set up" is this??? It's interesting to see how black people are jumping on the band wagon against this woman 😢 smh
Dr. Boyce Watkins you are telling the truth about black owned businesses staying black.When a black owned business is sold, the formula in the product changes. I agree with you.Why are so many black hair companies selling there companies? God bless you, and your family. 🙏💜
I was disappointed to find that my favorite product line also sold to a large conglomerate. I have noticed changes in my hair since. I didn’t have any other commercial product I could use with my allergies. YES!! SHEA MOISTURE!! TO UNILEVER! As I write it you just called it. I am so disappointed. I make my own body butters, oil blends, and scrubs. I haven’t used commercial lotions 🧴 in decades because of the chemicals. I just needed a reliable shampoo and conditioner. Nothing else. Guess I need to get back to the lab and learn a wash i
I go online to check if it’s black owned. I do this six times a year. Doesn’t mean I won’t still buy it. It means I’ll buy less of it and find a Black-owned company to purchase most of my products. Support our own, that’s how I see it. If you’re a partially owned Black company, my purchase will be partial.
The formula may not have changed but the manufacturing process may have drastically changed … the complaints I been hearing sound like chemical burns would could result if there is a manufacuting solvent present in the final product
🙄…does the blaming ever stop? What’s considered “Black Owned?” I’m curious….what is considered Black Owned and when did we stop creating businesses to SELL for a massive profit? I’m just asking!
The same exact nightmare happened to Carol's Daughter when Lisa Price sold her company to L'Oreal USA. Many of her products were eliminated and the new product line does nothing for Black hair or skin. I had to stop buying the products.
The babysitter analogy is great. I had that happen to me with the babysitter I was using and after that I took my son out of there because I did not trust that she would be the one caring for him.
The fact that the black owners are not catching that the brand decreases once it's sold is crazy to me. It's been happening for years, and they continue to sell out🤷🏾♀️
It's hard to hand make your own products in bulk. Create and order and putting your labels on products your self. There is so much work into having a product line they have the industry on lock because they police all the mass production machines and labs that we have no access too.
Agree, but there are ways around it. It's ok to use their companies to help in your process, just don't sell your entire company to them. Try to keep as much of it in-house as you can. Enlist trusted relatives and friends, business partners, etc. And with you growth, hire more people. It's definitely hard to conduct a business all by yourself, even moreso if product-making is involved.

Speak on it Dr. Watkins!
Their problem started when they went into partnership with Proctor and Gamble.
The same with Shea Moisture. I used to use the facial scrub, then it stop being available. When I did find it , it was very liquidity. Then during the Shots at the Shop cowned which was sponsored by Shea Moisture, I learned that the company was no longer black owened.
Black sell fast and others must know that….just offer blacks a little money and they sell their entire empire smh…black ppl 🙄

I’m still using my deep conditioner by Mielle!
I stop using Mielle when they sold out.
Please stop the hypocrisy. Everyone on this bandwagon uses tide since birth
I’m still going to use my Mielle hair Mask! My hair is thriving, praise God!

Because their goal was just to get rich.
I brought a product from the company you are talking about on Thursday and taking it back to the store tomorrow. Left my hair feeling brittle 😢
SMART

Red flag: there's no protective wrapping on the product at all. Anyone can drop stuff in it
Debbie Williams products is her Black Owned 😊l
From what I understand it was sold in 2023

Like Chloe Kardashians owning Good American Brand but advertising it as a Black Woman owned company.
Wow 😮
Yep! That company was created by a biracial woman who looks passing and C. K. is her partner. I saw the story on YT.
P&G have Black PhDs to test and analyze Mielle products. I'm guessing this is more about selling out to P&G than actual hair loss.
It's the actual hair loss.
Also ya’ll saw the hair relaxer scene in who cloned Tyrone
The babysitter comparison is spot on! Why entrust my hair or anything I cherish to someone who doesn’t know how to take care of it.
The fact that the black owners are not catching that the brand decreases once it's sold is crazy to me. It's been happening for years, and they continue to sell out🤷🏾♀️
Shea Moisture founders used their partnership to fund black owned businesses
Mielle was the worst product I have ever used on my natural hair.
@replay Thank you for this info
Yes
Yea why sell it to yt ppl? We can’t have nothing without yt people putting their hands in it
James Keller B1 Philadelphia Pa/Thank you very much.
@replay yes recall the JayZ debacle
She sold it..or part of it🤷
B1 ❤️
Yep, we sell out to them EVERY TIME!!! These great brands can be passed down to keep in the family for generations to come, but NOPE!!!!! SMH!!!

@@givluv23 if you're living in poverty with no access to labs and machinery whitey offers you millions to sell what do you do?
It's sad, but she shouldn't have sold to a company that has a history of catering to white women hair products.
The best products are the ones you make on your own. We've become lazy. The best things are the simplest ones.
If the products are harmful, deal with the situation appropriately. Why do AA work against each other so much? Did AA sue Tresseme?
