Since moving to Tampa I have really struggled to find my staple hair products stocked, on the shelves of stores I am used to finding them at. I am the type of "natural" that once I find a product that works I stick to it. So when my local Walmart, Walgreens, Target and CVS doesn't have a ethnic hair section or if they do its never stocked, small as hell and the BSS (beauty supply store) are over priced. I have been forced to start trying other products in the mean time until I move back home. With that being said I have been forced to shop online for hair products that work with my 4C texture hair. That's when I heard about the Curlkit and Curlbox but I am having a hard time choosing who to go with. Both are black owned businesses founded and ran by African American women yes ma'am.
For those of you reading this and thinking what is a CurlBox and CurlKit, let me explain them real quick. These are monthly subscriptions were you are sent 5-7 samples and sometimes full size hair products in a box. For a monthly fee of $20 charged to your credit card that you have to save on file with the companies. Both of these companies are great for people that like to try new hair products often, cough cough (product junkies). So with the Curlbox subscription spots are very limited and you have to wait until they have a open enrollment to subscribe to the company. This makes the company appealing even more because it feels exclusive. Now who doesn't want to feel like they are apart of some exclusive ish lol. Now with the CurlKit you just sign up and you can start receiving your subscriptions the next month.
While doing my research on the CurlBox I found a recent YouTube video where a young lady was very upset about the products and customer service from CurlBox. She also expressed that the CEO Myleiks way of handling her concerns were very unprofessional and damn right disrespectful that she decided to take her business to CurlKit and report Myleik to the BBB. Honey that's a whole lot of drama and madness that I will have to save for a later blog post lol. But if you want to go watch the video you know my messy ass will have a link to it right here >>>>VIDEO!!!! <<<<<.
Even with all the drama surrounding CurlBox I still kinda wanna subscribe one because The Curlkit seems hella bootleg to me. I know everybody is loving it and feels its so much better but to me it seems like a straight wanna be. I mean even the website curlkit.com seems bootleg. Go compare the two companies sites curlbox.com just seems more fancy for a lack of a better word HAHAHA!! Since I haven't subscribed to any of them I guess I can't be throwing shade lol. With all that being said I think I might go ahead and roll with CurlKit. Because even though I feel they need to hire a better graphic designer to make their website look a little better, I still have heard nothing but great things about it.
As for Ms. Myleik well I think she needs to do a better job of not mixing her personal feelings with business, it turns off potential customers like myself. I mean if your company is going to be a exclusive and bougee acting. you would think one would have better "PR" skills I'm just saying. Don't nobody got time to be going back and forward with you on Instagram because of an opinion. Not everyone will like or love each months products you have to have a thick skin when your providing products and service especially when your dealing with these new age naturals lol. I am very outspoken and if I feel like your being shady with your business practices I will let everybody know about it. So I rather not have to deal with that at all...This was her first full year so hopefully she learned from her mistakes and 2013 will be better.
