She has a full time job apart from her YT business so I'm sure she's just busy

yeah, since that is clearly not the case who knows what it will be.
even some of the small lines that at least have a decent production and delivery process down have inconsistencies in their product.
and since her number one recipe is a Kinky Curly product mixed with some oils, I'm not sure why anyone would assume that someone who has no background in science or hair care would be able to come up an entire hair line, and there is certainly nothing terribly unique about anything that is out there. Shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, etc. Sticking litmus papers into products doesn't make you a scientist(esp. coming from someone who was telling people that baking soda could "relax" your hair) anymore than growing your own hair makes you an expert on making products.
i buy from places that seem to have reasonable manufacturing practices. you don't want to buy from any one who is mixing this up in a non-dedicated space for example. and it needs to be sterile, b/c there are certain regulations that should be followed that a lot of these mom and pop operations are circumventing. Nasty things could happen to your scalp and eyes if you apply things to your hair that aren't completely sterile. Your eyes are a very vulnerable entry point, and small cuts in the scalp are another.
Mainly for the same way many entertainers and "stars" are able to introduce their own lines of products. Its fairly easy for anyone to introduce a new hair/skin care product to the market by using a third-party vendor. Most of those types of companies (third-party vendors) offer in house chemists who will develop a product (and entire line) based on your ideal ingredients, chosen/preferred scents and most importantly, your price points. The buy-in to produce a small batch (between 2,000 and 5,000 units) is within the reach of many small businesses IF they understand how this part of the cosmetics industry works. All products will be produced within the FDA guidelines as specificed in their CFRs.
Its really not that hard.
I thought that in the case of celebs the line was already produced and they were just chosen to be the face of the line?
And if KT did what you described above, wouldn't that basically be defeating the purpose of her "developing" her own line as a "guru"? Some of the businesses that I know that have manufacturers develop the test product first, then have it sent to the lab to be replicated and mass produced, so technically they still created the product.
ouch..........

Agreed. A prime example is when Lisa and Sheree on RHOA got their own fashion line. They're not designers. They simply had the money and resources to put it together and market it. Cindy Crawford has a furniture line in Rooms 2 Go. Everybody and their mama has a perfume line. It's all about the benjamin's, baby. (Take that, take that, take that!)
She must be lurking up in heyah.
OMG y is she selling those scarf headbands for 16.99??? you could buy those in ATL in a wholesale pack of a dozen for 12 bucks in the summer of 2009???? are hers handmade or something?
who has scarf headbands? shima??
if shim can launch a line from her old school white bedroom suit I know it's my time to shine
It's time to launch my wig line, who's going in with me? Aireen? Iri? what's up
How many videos is she going to upload about her flat iron experience? You would have thought she gave birth or something.....
^^^Shes prolly flat ironing 1 strand at a time. Thats the reason for 100,000 YT vids on her flat ironing experience.
oh... ok I just saw her video posted aboveno the kimmytube lady i guess. it's on the luv naturals site from her newest video. if she can get 16.99 for a dollar item good for her! hahaha u can buy wholesale wigs there too! i think u can in all the big cities as long as u have a business license. some importers will put your name on the product when ordering from china too! if you have 10k to shell out u can order from china yourself
