First off, it's only "your hustle", when it's your product. You don't take my hard work, throw it in a jar with some hodge podge of other mixes, and sell it for...YOUR profit.

Naw, that's not a legit hustle. Plus, anybody with so little brains, and so much nerve (silly rabbit didn't even think that folks could come after her and sue her) needs to go have a seat anyway. Pay your dues, and quit tryna coast on someone else's smoke.

That chick was sellin' Qhem's AOHC, under her own label...and marking it up crazy.

ARE YOU FOR REAL? As in she took the label off and plastered her label on the jar? Is she serious?

LAWD...
Rogaine mixed with LeKair and all....that's the Quench stuff. Lakshmi's Cupboard was selling QB stuff...repackaging it, and selling it for 3-4 times the price.

Same concept. People think it's okay to do that. Disturbing. The fact that folks criticize others who expose that shim shammery is even more...disturbing.

I really would like to know who told that that this was THE idea to pursue...poor judgement...gosh

Maybe write a business plan first, before you start a business?

Also, I thought Rogaine™ was supposed to be applied to the scalp, not the hair, twice daily. Why is she putting it in a hair...butter that's used to moisturize HAIR? Does she even know what effect those other products, mixed with Rogaine™ have on the actual...scalp? If you're not applying it to the scalp, where's the benefit? Plus, you've mixed it with a bunch of other junk.

Is anybody else asking these questions?
I need somebody to explain it to me.

i was wondering this myself when i first saw it. i started to think i was some kind of weirdo b/c i almost never get products that i apply to my hair on my scalp.

i just think it's funny when folks come out the woodwork threatening to sue ppl on behalf of the swindler. i mean... at least know the difference b/w slander and libel if your gonna start accusing folks of defamation w/ the "legal background"

My guess is that she didn't even get that far in her thinking.

My biggest worry is that seems like she was mixing up all kinds of already made products that could have had crazy reactions. I really doubt she knew what she was doing. Yeah, the chemicals in one product may be safely used in their original formula but when you go adding random things together you have no idea what you could actually by concocting.

Sigh. I don't even know what to say. I feel sad for all these businesses. I know times is hard but at least do some research and write a real business plan. This is not it. Smh

Right. Even if it's "safe" that still doesn't address just how effective the Rogaine™ would be, after you've changed the chemical makeup.

Nothing wrong with trying to grow back thinning hair. But the way the Rogaine™ is used isn't the way it was designed to be used....along with the other issues.

Then, somebody has the audacity to mention how folks shouldn't "knock her hustle"?

The tons of disclaimers on her page screams use at your own risk.

Yep, yep, yep. Because you know if a "business owner" was working their hustle by selling that woman's products (the one that originally made the hustle comment), it would be a whole different story.

For a business to have integrity, its "hustle" should come from hard work and dedication to the product and the consumer. Otherwise, the business owner isn't doing anything but getting over on people and exploiting them. Plus, the shady businesses are just taking away from another business owner's legitimate "hustle"...and that's not right.

Wow...really?

I guess she did know she could be mixing up something that may or may not burn someone's scalp off....

Honestly, I'd be a little afraid to buy a hair product that stated something that. Something about possible allergic reactions is understandable but "use at your own risk". Uhhhh, that's a little too much of an indicator of possible dangerous chemicals for me to be purchasing from some random lady.

Girl that Quench chick is a mess....and then she's advising people that's its safe to use on kids. DA HELL?!?!?! Have you actually read the list of warnings on that container of rogaine you mixing with LeKair??!?!? It CLEARLY states it should not be used on children unless advised by a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.

People are so dayum DESPERATE to have long hair that they will slap ANYTHING on thier scalps and heads...including whale *** and pu$$y cream. I'm convienced I could get folks to rub my pi$$ on thier heads for $90 per 8oz jar if I told them it would take them from 4a to 3b AND increase thier length by 4 inches per month.
