My gripes and vegan Cookies!

Ok so I had a major gripe today when I went to go look for my typical lock gel. Organic root stimulator, which by the way I recommend all the twisters or even if your like me a twist in the fronters, to use. I contains a good amount of natural products and it doesn't have a mineral oil. Thus, I love this stuff. However, something that bothered me was that I went to 3 different CVS and a Sally's all located in the valley... The San Fernando Valley outside of LA to be exact, and I couldn't find my stuff. Like gag me with a spoon!!! Matter of fact now that I think about it there were no natural products on display which pisses me off thoroughly!!! What that tell me is were not their target demographic...Understandable but in the same way I went there looking for product I'm sure other women do to. One thing that bothers me about the valley in general is when I see all the sisters with weave bonded to their hair... but now I realize even if these sistas wanted to be natural they do not necessarily have the option to get the products they may need. I was especially angry going to Sally's and not finding it. I ended up going to a place in the more urban aggregated area and finding something comparable but still not MY LOCK GEL!!!! Urrggg that makes me mad!
