  • thanks, girl. There's an avalanche of hair products out there and it's very hard to know what truly works. It's great to have these reviews because none of us can try everything. Even if we could the cost would be astronomical. I appreciate your honesty.

  • Sometimes the price doesn't matter. Thanks for sharing this girl. God bless!

  • @dvery1 I agree, it's doesn't matter. I come to find out that cheap products work well. Hope you enjoyed your journey ;-)

  • I had to learn the hard way that that foam is not good. Most shampoos contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which that foamy affect comes from which causes the hair to dry. it strips hair of its natural oils and causes is to break and slow growth. and in shampoos they use alot of it because its cheap

  • Natural hair products won't lather and create suds because they lack all the chemicals.

  • @doozyboody21 - That's not true, I have used natural hair products that were great! For example the Shae Moisture Line......

  • @bossgal3 100% natural products still work great even if they don't lather. They just have to be used differently. Are you using Shae Moisture now? What would you recommend from that line?

  • @doozyboody21 I like their Shae Mositure smoothie and Shae thickening Moisture Mist....Their Restorative Conditioner is great too. Sub to my channel, cause I will be doing reviews on some new products. ;-)

  • @bossgal3 Awesome!!! Thanks, and I just subscribed =D

  • I am 29 and lost my mother. it caused my hair to thin from the stress because i have to take care of my little brother and my own children. i have been using beauty 4 ashes super grow system. during the 1st wk i saw no results, but when i got my hair relaxed it has grew out three more inches. i told them about my situation and they sent me $100 to help with my bills and some prayers. i know that there products didn't work for u. try contacting them because they might really bless u.

  • @nattyhustle Awe, thanks hun, but I am okay..... Happy growing hair ;-)

  • I also bought this line of products as well & it thrashed my hair! My hair has never broken so much before. IT DOESN'T WORK!!! My unnatural regular shampoo, makes my hair feel and look better. Save your money.

  • @MsNordian OMG! sorry to hear about that! It is much better products out there. I hope you find those products!

  • @bossgal3 I do too. I will continue to use my regular motions products in the mean time. The sad thing abt it is I emailed them and this is what they said "We never implore customers or persuade individuals to purchase". Unbelievable! Then they tried to quote some scriptures to me and telling me that " The enemy wants you to feel your conditioner does not suffice. He want you to feel your hair is better off with the chemicals".

  • @MsNordian Girl, no they didnt try to quote scriptures! lmbo! unbelievable!!!!

  • @MsNordian I feel good that I didnt buy but its soo exspensive like wow

  • @NIJEECAPRICORN20 It's better stuff out here, then that ;-) lol

  • @bossgal3 yeah Aubrey Organics, Curls,Jane Carter, Shea Moisture its alot of them now

  • @NIJEECAPRICORN20 Agreed!!!! LOL

  • the reason that there are suds in most shampoos is because of all the harsh chemicals. the lack of chemicals is why there are no suds.

  • everyone be careful when buying from this company I brought the shampoo and conditioner on september 3, 2010 and it is now October 6, 2010 they sent me a email saying it was shipped. and have not received my order I have emailed them sereval time for the tracking number so that I can track it and got no response and have sent 3 letters to the company and still I'm waiting for a response from them I spent $57.98 

  • @TheBrighteyes1 Girl, that is a shame! I know that when I ordered from them, it was around the holidays, so that valid their reasons for being slow. But wow! When it do arrive ( I am sure it will) please let us know how you liked it. I really found other products that I found to work wonders!

  • @bossgal3 What other products do you recommend?

  • @TheBrighteyes1

    sorry to hear that. I ordered my super gro system on October 3rd and I got it last Friday. You know they make everything fresh that is why it takes so long. Maybe the problem is with ups or fedex because I had to pick mine up directly from fedex in bfe. Anyways, I just begin using the products and I love it. good luck

  • @TheBrighteyes1

    Hi , I was going to buy Beauty 4 Ashes but I will never be able to speak with anyone live, they have no phone, everything is done by email and they haven respond to my email yet and that been over a week, I really wanted to try this product, I think they are christians in the dark, if they are christian like they say

    then why is it so hard to get in touch with them about their product because every company has a phone number.

  • @TheBrighteyes1 Look up AMIKA HAIR CARE at Folica.com

  • Thank you so much for this information because I want my hair to stop shadding also!!!

  • @elewis2currie Oh, I understand! Good luck on your product search. I am sure you will find something ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • thank you so much for this product review because i was just about to make a purchuse so thanks for your honesty how ever the shampoo probaly didnt make a lather because it does not contain harmful sulfates which makes our hair sooooooo dry.

  • @vanity464 Oh, no problem. ;-)

  • Hey,

    I just bought a system from them. The Moisture Max and Gro system. It was two products for 49.99. I have used a lot of natural products before, but this stuff was super drying. It stripped my hair more than a harsh clarifying shampoo. I assumed that I was sent the wrong formulation so I contacting them for help. They told me that natural products "seem" drying and I needed to add oil. But my hair was dry and breaking off. When I said I was unhappy, they had legal threaten me.

  • @MsRDidi13 Just bad business. Bad Business! I glad I am not the only one who had problems with this stuff!

  • you cant really expect change after 3 weeks. because the hair must be washed every two weeks anyways thus & 3 weeks is too early to tell you should see differcences in your hair within 2-3 months

  • @princessmoon12 Oh, I saw amazing results with products that I use after one and two times...perhaps I dont have the patience to wait for a product to work....;-)

  • ANY HAIR PRODUCT THAT IS ONLY PURCHASED ON LINE IS SUSPECT. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A HAIR PRODUCT THAT IS ONLY SOLD ON LINE.

  • @MIMI88998899 okay. Everyone is entitle to their opinion. But in this day of age, online buying is the norm - just my opinion ;-)

  • Thanks for this review. Was just about to buy! What shampoo do you recommend?

  • @MsLi512 Hi I use I use "Nex Faze" and IT IS GREAT!

  • thank you for keeping it real Girl!!!!!!

  • @KishaunaLRAR05 why do people say kepping it real and girl for everything

  • Just an FYI shampoo that lathers and contain sulfate is NOT good for African American hair. It dries the hair our, so be carful when using products that do create that lather!!!

  • thank you soo much!!! I was thinking about purchasing their products but then I saw they didnt have a customer service phone number so ive been debating. I am sorry u had that unpleaseant experience from them but i really appreciate this post! im about to start my natural hair journey with the big chop and i just thought that it sounded wonderful...lol i knew it sounded to goo to be true

  • @jourdan63 Your welcome ;-)

  • Do you have a relaxer in your hair?

    Thanks

  • @DrColette at that time I did, As, of March 2010 I am one year natural...I am thinking about a video of my natural hair journey...;-)

  • Thank you Bossgal3, you were Honest, respectful, and professional. I appreciate your review and it was very helpful to me when purchasing B4A for the first time. You saved me time and money.

  • @4godskingdom Thank you....;-)

  • I love Beauty 4 Ashes, I get the ethnic one and it works really well. Sorry it didn't work for you and it does say on the website and the inside the packaging that it does not create a large sud. That is because it does not contain harsh sulfates so it will not dry out your hair.

  • Awesome! Perhaps, they updated their website with the information.

  • @missreed012 Can u do a review 4 the line u use with "Beauty 4 Ashes"?

  • Have u tried Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead Silky Smooth? Or ne God Head products from this line?

  • No, only what was mentioned in the video. I ove NexFax from sallys! Cheaper!

  • I think this review is excellent- its always good to see both sides. I've been using beauty 4 ashes for 2 years and I use the shampoo, hair mist & Lotion and the conditioners- they work realyl well as a part of a daily regimen. As far as "super gro products" I can't speak to that. Again, the regular stuff shampoo etc is great!!!

  • thank ,thank, you so much for saving my money i will just stick with my nairobi line thanks.

  • No Problem ;-)

  • Bossgal3,

    I'm so glad you made this video. I purchased the entire system as well, it is now on sale $119.99. Ordered a few months ago, took 16 full business days to get shipped (guess they formulate the products differently).

    The bottles seemed 3/4 full instead of completely filled. After using the product 4 weeks, saw roughly little to no change in my hair breakage. I have continued to use the 'serum" to seal my ends though.

    I use "Nex Faze" and IT IS GREAT!

    Take Care!

  • Great! ;-)

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! For this review I've been dying to try the same exact system, and I haven't found one bad review on this product. This really changes my outlook and I won't be buying it! You saved me a ton of money! Do you know any all natural products thats gave you good results? My hair is damaged as well...

  • Jasmine, I sent you a message via your inbox.

  • Hi Jasmine574,

    I too purchased that complete system and used it for 4 weeks. I wasn't looking for a complete miracle or an extreme turnaround....but I wanted SOME improvement with the breaking/shedding.

    The system didn't work so well for me either. I too read all good reviews, until I experienced the product for myself. Now the "serum" and "hair mist" are pretty good. If you decide to purchase Beauty4Ashes, I would buy 1 or 2 to try it out.

    NexFaze and Cantu sheabutter saved my day.

  • @Creditgirl2020

    Amika is a good product at Folica.com

  • wow, nex phaze shea shampoo?? i seen that on the web site of sallys, it does sound good, how is that proclaim shampoo lines?

  • Sorry, i am just now seeing your comment. I haven't tried proclaim line. I notice anything with Shea Butter makes my hair sooooo soft and manageable.

  • I am try the Cantu Sheabutter!

  • thank you for the information bout beauty 4 ashes, my hair doesnt break, im looking more for more softer and more manageable hair being my hair is short straight and color treated, i have tried many shampoos that makes my hair feel like straw due to my hair coloring, i wonder if this one will help make my hair feel like butter?

  • Try "Nex Faze Shea Butter Hydrating Shampoo/Conditioner" products located at Sallys ---This is a great product! Love it!

  • the reason you have breakage is because you need to take vitamins as well and if you get your hair chemically treated, use a lot of heat etc... The shampoo can only do so much. The reason the other shampoo (Apho...) stopped the breakage is because of the fillers, these actually DAMAGE your hair. It will take more than 3WKS to really get your hair in tip top shape. Good luck!

  • Thanks, I am aware of the many vitamins, I am happy to say, my hair has approved a great deal. Thanks again! ;-)

  • I have tried several products from them and I will say that some work and some are a complete wast of money. the best products (and I'm a product junkie) are theire Strawberry Max moisture hair lotion and the Max Moisture and Grow hair shampoo and conditioner. Love it , Love it Love it. This actually does what it says it will do; however all three of these will cost you $80 dollars and that is just too much to pay regularly when the products have a shelf life of 60 days.

  • i tried the shampoo product today. Is it supposed to be really water? is did I do something wrong...store it wrong...

  • It is a 100% natural product. This means that it lacks chemical fillers that regular shampoos contain. B4A natural shampoos are watery, but have the necessary natural ingredients to clean your hair just as well as chemically manufactured shampoos. B4A shampoos, also will only lather minimally, because 100% natural shampoos lack sulfates, which is the harsh chemical in regular shampoos that creates a lather. B4A silky smooth shampoo gives the best lather, if you really prefer lather.

  • No, My was the same.

  • That is how you know that it is a natural shampoo. The stuff that makes the shampoo lather is Sulfate and it is harmful to the hair but most shampoo will have that ingredient  in it if it is not natural. I use a Sulfate free shampoo that I get at Sally Beauty supply store and it does not lather. It cost about $10.00 and it is called Hair One. It works good. I don't plan on purchasing Beauty For Ashes after this review; although I know that everybody's hair is different.

  • thanx for posting this video, i was trying to figure out which hair care products i would try and use to get my hair to stop breaking off so i appreciate this sweety, thanx

  • wow. im so sorry to hear that. i only recently heard about this line (literally 2 days ago) and was really interested in learning more because it seemed like it could be really good, but also like it was too good to be true especially since it was SO expensive. plus, i had only read good things about it, but now i'm a little more weary about it and reluctant to save up and buy it. its funny, i was waiting for someone else to buy it too :) sorry though, but thanks for the knowledge.

  • I read some good reviews about the product as well, but not many. In any case, if you want to try it, I suggest buying maybe one or two items to see if your hair likes the product, but I wouldn't buy the whole system. Good Luck! ;-)

  • I use beauty for ashes and love it; honestly this is the first negative review I've heard about it. I always hear people complain about the price though.

  • I am sure it work for some people hair, but I wasn't happy with it. As for the price there are cheaper products that produce great results. I am using a less expensive product now that is doing wonders to my hair. The price wasn't the issue for me.
