I copied this from their "About Us" section:
A Legacy is Born…
We trace our beginning back to 1938, with a barber in the midwest named Henry E. Shapley. Responding to his customer’s needs, he formulated a product for scalp conditions including dandruff and psoriasis. An avid horse lover, he discovered that his product not only provided “miraculous” results relieving skin problems, but also promoted hair growth on the coat, mane and tail of his horses. Soon, the product was being sold to the equine market as Original M-T-G.
Now…..fast forward 66 years.
In 2004, we began receiving phone calls and emails, primarily from women of African descent, who were using Original M-T-G to promote their own hair growth. (probably why their site seems like it is aimed at AA women and not caucasian women; AA women asked for it so they gave it to us).
They reported excellent results and demand for the product grew rapidly based upon activity in internet chat rooms and word-of-mouth. Other than an occasional concern that Original M-T-G was sold for equine use, the only real dissatisfaction reported was the peculiar smell of the product.
Now…SULU introduces MAX GRO to address the needs of human hair care. Expect the same great, proven results of Original M-T-G with an improved carrier oil and a human friendly smell.
Not just proven, but now laboratory and DERMATOLOGIST TESTED as well.
Don't we have a member named Shanique? Maybe she submitted the testimony.
P.S. - I may give this new oil a try and give you all an update.
P.S.S. - I thought the ladies from the various hairboards asked Shapelys to create a human version? Why ask for it, then criticize them for doing so?
