My BEEF with Natural Hair Care Entrepreneurs

So for the past three years women with natural hair have been starting their own business mixing good products to bring curl, growth and healthiness to women transitioning from relaxed hair to natural. And that is all well and fine because I support small businesses and anyone out here trying to bring positivity to the black community. But how in the hell do you expect us women with natural hair to pay for this priced mess? Its a recession out here and I know you'll know this. You probably lost your jobs when the economy went in the toilet, you started your own business by selling your own concotions of scented shea butters and hair puddings. So why would you charge 25.00 for a 4oz bottle of shampoo? Why would you charge 38.00 bucks for a 8oz container of Curly Pudding? What is in this stuff? Extract from Jack's magic beans?
Brand name products are much cheaper than the small business products. In order for me to stick to a hair care regime using products from small natural hair businesses, I would have to work over time and get another job.  I feel as though these people are taking advantage of the natural hair community mindset. The big fad is bringing the curl pattern out of natural hair kinks. So women with natural hair are buying all these products to get their hair to a texture where its not. Well I have news for you,you might as well get a texturizer because if you dont have a fine, curly texture then you will just continue to waste your money being a "product junkie". Just going bankrupt to get your hair what its not. Embrace and accept your hair for what it is.
  Natural hair people that are promoting these "Curly" products that are expensive as all hell should be ashamed of yourselves. You can use an all natural, inexpensive product and do a twist out just the same. *flips fro*
