:( Why won’t my hair just behave and like what everybody else who has a similar hair type to mine does????? GGGgggrrrr!! Actually why didn’t I take heed!lol! I did see people say buy the Burdock Root Cream if you have finer hair but NO muggins here ignored that advice and purchased the Amla & Olive Heavy Cream which smells lovely but is truly HEAVY!! As i bought it straight from the company and paid a shocking price for shipping i refuse to just give it away!lol! I washed my hair last night and tried to use it as a scalp cream hhhhhhuuummmm I’m not sure i like the results! I used a tinnie winnie bit but today my hair is SO greasy and feels I can’t explain like the oil is just sitting on it!!!


What to do, what to do…...Do I just stick with my Komaza Cali leave in that is working just fine for me or buy the Burdock Root Cream which eveyone seems to love decisions, decision!!!

The shipping cost more than the product loool, so i wouldn’t recommend it unless you are really desperate to try it!!! It came really quickly as well ordered on the 1/03/10 and came two days ago!! Ok i have literally skimmed my finger over the top of it lol! Give me a few days and i’ll let you know for sure re a swap or sale!! There are so many things i would like to try but waiting for people to let me know there experiences with the products first!lol!-

Shea Moisture and Jane Carter’s curl enhancer my hair seems to love product with water as the first ingredient!!!

I have also ordered direct from Qhemet.

There are a couple of her other products like the Moringa Tree Detangling Ghee (a thinner version of the Cocoa Tree) and the Karkady Mist, which she is reformulating, that I would like to try. I know her UK stockist doesn’t stock those.

She has a new product coming out called Aethiopica Twisting Butter which sounds nice too.

Yeah I figured that..
The constant selling out from the EU distributors is just ridiculous.
I am not down with all that waiting list malarkey.—It’s a major turn off.
I was one of her earlier dedicated customers, but as the demand got bigger and the prices higher, I just lost interest.
I still have a few of her original detangling creams - Olive cream detangler - Which she has now discontinued.
If you’re a fan of olive oil and coconut cream - then I don’t wouldn’t mind swapping.

i looooooveeeee the AOHC!!! sorry it didn’t work for you!! the burdock root IS a bit thinner/lighter so might work better.
I get mine from the netherlands here at mariposa-import and it’s €21,99. i think shipping to the UK is around €11 but i could be wrong.
She has the shampoo, cocoa tree detangling ghee (i finished mine today!), burdock root cream, amla heavy cream and the tea hair gel (was too light for my hair).

Hhhhhmmmm when coverting into pounds I don’t think there’s much of a difference when ordering from the states lol, I think it worked out to be about £32! I’ve watch some if your YT reviews they are very informative! It’s nutz how deceptive hair can be I would have definitely thought your texture would have had the same experience as mine!lol! I live and learn! May just try the Burdock Root Cream!

yeah, at first i thought it would be too heavy for me, but i much prefer it to the burdock root for the moisture, and it’s not greasy on my hair! i am in love!!
For me here, the postage is only €4,95 so it makes sense for me to order from mariposa and not the state, although she doesn’t have the whole line and i am so tempted by that honey balm thing, but will try MyHoneyChild instead i think!
Hope the Burdock root works better for you! smile

hi luvmycurls,

if you’re selling i am VERY interested, i always like to have this as it seems to be the best cream,in terms of keeping moisture in, for me at least. (i feel my hair doesnt like what every one likes either) i think you will like the burdock root better as it a similar thickness to the komaza leave in. it has water as its first ingredient and wont leave your hair greasy .. honest, it will just be moisturised. i dont think you would be dissapointed. i like the burdock too but as like oils i go for theahoc..  i hope you find something that works very well soon.. however if you get all the moisture you need with the komaza then if its not broken dont fix it wink
