Do you sell hair care products to stores in the US?


Nah not really, I buy other things off of Ali to flip and one day I was looking for a new product to buy and I just randomly came across the hair products section. Copped about $300 worth and flipped it. It was a good profit. It took me about a month of going around to hair salons and hair braiding shops to move it. My only issue was at that same time I was trying to sell it there was a crew of nikkas that were going around robbing the weave shops for the hair so it made it a little too hot for me to move like I needed to. I'm sure if I tweak the business model and put some flyers or other marketing behind it to make it appear more legitimate then I would be straight. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

And I ain't gonna say they name on here but that weave shop in Buckhead thats owned by those 2 Black chicks gets all they shyt from Ali.

Were you selling to black store owners or Koreans? Were they pretty receptive?

Yall wonder why so many foreigners come over here and have businesses? They don't have to pay taxes for the first 7 years on them and when those 7 years are up they just transfer ownership to another family member and the cycle repeats itself.

info? :feedme:

Regarding the bolded, and this is a serious question, why not just put your hair in the little afro puff thing (not sure what the style is called). When my girl don't wanna fuss with her hair, she throws a rubber band around it and keeps it pushing. I've never actually seen her do it (as a man, somethings I don't wanna know :wow:) but I'd imagine that style doesn't take a long time to pull off if you're natural.

I actually thought I could do that but my hair is a looser texture so when I did it. I'd didn't come out.:stopitslime:
Trust. I would rock that ish everyday lol

Plus remember I said some of my hair is kinda straight.

Is it naturally straight or is still straight from when you used to relax it? Did you do the big chop already (didn't think I knew about that didn't you :youngsabo:)?

Our government actually gives out info in S. Korea on how to do this and what types of businesses they can start that will be lucrative. You wont ever see me eating soul food from some Asian owned spot where the chicken wings taste like fukkin wontons and the collard greens taste like pork fried rice

I've heard about this but never actually seen any receipts on the topic. You have any info from a government source that talks about this? I'd imagine it would be somewhere in the IRS code or something.

Like I said in the other post. I did do my big chop already. My grandpa had very straight hair so I'm not sure if my hair is just gonna be somewhat like that or not. It's still thick and course but I don't have to do any hair stretching like the other women cause I don't have hardly any curls or shrinkage :mjcry:
