FYI, Shapley's new M-T-G is finally here!

Hi Marcia,

Thank you for sharing this new product release with us. That's what this website is about. In case anyone has forgotten, it's purpose is to explore new ways of acquiring a common goal: long, healthy hair. As someone said the contact address for Shapley's and Suluhair are exactly the same. Who would put out a bootleg product and provide the original company's address. It doesn't make sense. Why not make an effort to be sure, before making assumptions. Find out from Shapley themselves if it isn't their product. Just some things to keep in mind ladies.
 
Why'd they have to name it Sulu? Why do they think Black people won't buy correctly spelled products? :wallbash:

And, why'd they have to give Shaniquea's testimonial on the front page? (Hope I don't offend anyone named Shaniquea, but check my Unpop. Opinion post).

Hi Smitage,

Yes I really did purchase Sulu Max Gro!!! I am very excited.

No, I'm not a marketing spy :lachen:. I just wanted to share with my LHCF family about Shapley's new product. I know a lot of ladies on here are currently using or have used MTG in the past. I have used it in the past but had to discontinue use due to the overbearing smell. i remember last year when this new product was in the making. people were contacting Shapley's complimenting on how wonderful MTG was discussing the pros(unbelieveable hair growth & thickness), the cons(overbearing smell). I guess with the overwhelming feedback & request, they developed a product that was requested by consumers which I think is great. Just wanted to share with those that are interested.

Thank you for sharing. :flowers:I've bought quite a few products after hearing about them on this board and I am grateful for all the tips on new products (and old ones) that I get from LHCF ladies.
 
I know he says he named it after his mum, but the name Sulu is just not on. I read it and I think 'black'. I don't know why but I do. And it ain't flattering. I'll be sticking with the original MTG. The price seems a bit steep for a new product. I'd expect an introductory offer of say $7.

And another thing. I'm from Michigan and never heard of a darn Scotsdale...now there's a Scotsdale, AZ. There are some Scotsdale Apartments in I think Westland but I have never in my life heard of Scotsdale, Michigan and if there was one believe me "Shaniqeua" damn sure don't stay there. This is B.S.

:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen:I have to agree with OrangeMoon. When I read that I was like where is Scotsdale Michigan? I'm from Michigan too and I have never heard of it. They know they are wrong for Shaniqeua though.:ohwell:
 
It is the same company, they just rushed in getting the site together in a mad panic to get money from the product so many people asked for.

Let me tell you , my favorite Oil - Natural Oasis, their site is worse, but their oil is the best ever .. IMPO

I do not agree with their marketing i.e. Shaniqua.. But it happens to the best of them ..

Well folx bombarded them with emails, asking for ingredients, better smellng product, safety info and sent links to refer them back to this site. Why not market it to us? 12.00 bucks + shipping isnt bad for folx who dont want to mix their own. It's more expensive than MTG, but if you recall they had to raise the price of MTG, it is supposed to have a better carrier oil, and they have to recoup prices from product development. Folx asked for it, they delivered. I dont see the problem, especially if you dont have to walk around smelling like 3-day old pork to get good results. Thanks to natural lady, there are other options, but for a long time that wasnt the case if you didnt want to mix your own.

ITA! I'm gonna try it because I was one of the ones that sent an email begging for a non-stinky one. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. :spinning: Yeah, it's a little late and we've got BT now, but as far as I'm concerned I asked a company for a new product and it showed up. :yay:

I don't know. That site just doesn't resonate well with me. It's weird-like VERY ethnic and as someone said "Shenequa Lewis"? Come on now! I am almost offended.:nono:

I agree! This is a crock...I hope you ladies know that we do have "marketing" spies in our midst, they are all "suggestive" torward products...All gently pushing "miracle" products.

Any marketing majors out here? These are soft selling tactics you learn your first year of college...

you are correct. They have plenty of marketing spies and (sorry if I am wrong) but i think the OP is one.:ohwell: She has thrown out many product names. Do a search. Now peace, I'm out this thread.:ohwell:

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to share that Shapley's new M-T-G is finally here :dance7:. I received my order today and I must say that I like it. It's called Sulu Max Gro and the website is www.suluhair.com . Max Gro is the same as the original M-T-G but with a pleasant smell & better quality of carrier oil. Well I'm off to my personal Sulu challenge.

Hi Marcia16. Thanks for the information about Sulu. I myself just have issues with Shapelys marketing approach. MTG is a great product, despite the essence of bacon smell so Sulu should be comparable if not better with the better smelling carrier oil. Please keep us updated upon receiving Sulu and take some pictures of your growth!
 
As much as some of us are being very skeptical, there are others that may have posted that will secretly buy the product and come back to make thread about how awesome it really is lol...So, why don't we all each give one person a dollar for the product and let them tell us what it's really like:grin:

I'm with RicaRoss. The bottle is much smaller and the smell never did bother me much, although I never soaked my scalp with it. The issue I have is that MTG went up to $19.95. Granted I haven't bought any in a long time, but that's an extra $4.00. I guess that's what happens when you tell the maker how they can squeeze more money out of you.:look:

I would still buy the bigger bottle over the new formula though. When they revamp a product like that, it's not going to be as powerful b/c they have to add so many other things to make the scent pleasant for humans. The horses are gonna get it cheaper b/c they don't complain.

I'm sticking with the original. :yep:

Why are they trying to act like only African-American ladies use it when we found out about it from the Caucasian ladies?:look:


Oh, I guess cause we were the main ones calling them up telling them how well it works onn *gasp* humans. Why can't we just buy something and let their increase in sales speak for themselves? Why do we always have to go and tell the person making the product, thus they up the price because of a little concept called "supply and demand.":drunk:

SAY IT AGAIN! I don already went and bought up a grip of Vatika and Amla. You know that price increase is coming. :look:

You know they wanted to call it Zulu, but Sulu is close enough that it still gets the 'for bald headed Africans' message across :look:
 
This site looks completely bootleg and suspect! I would not purchase from this site. It looks like I could have made it, and I am not even a computer person!

I would be very weary and check out its legitimacy if anyone is planning on buying this product. IMO it does not look like a professional site, and the "testimonies" are the icing on the cake.

Actually the site is official...a lady from bhm called to verify all the information.

http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=91946

here's the link for anyone interested.

However...i am not going to be purchasing this. its a smaller bottle for much higher price. I'll stick with the 32oz which was originally made for humans to begin with. So I am satisfied without the new packaging and etc.

Okay, I don't see the testimonial from "Shenequa Lewis" anymore. :perplexed

Y'all got them scrambling! :lachen:

LOL I went back just to look...now they have a testimonial by J.A.W. I wonder who that is and where they are from...maybe Miami, Illinois. :drunk: Okay let me stop but this has me cracking up.
