I didn't participate in the BF sale but I'm glad that she finally stepped up on the shipping game.
Shout out to Soultanicals for FINALLY getting their shipping situation together. Ordered on BF and I got my stuff in 5 days.
My CM Purchase is somewhere: DELAYED IN TRANSIT.
I contacted ST'icals, but haven't heard back from them yet. It shipped 11/30.
@rileypak , Glad you had a good result with this so far. I bought some on Black Friday, but I have not used it yet, hope it works well for me too. I think I will also try it with heat using my heat conditioner cap.So I finally used the Magical Molasses Deep Constructor yesterday.
It smells like dark caramel but the smell doesn't linger. Application, it spread easy enough and I was able to lightly detangle as I applied. It felt meh once it was on though, I was gearing up for disappointment. Sat under the dryer for 30 minutes. My hair definitely felt better after using heat. Hair was crazy soft upon rinse out and detangling went without a hitch. I'll see how my hair does over the week but I just may like this one.

I have been debating about trying this one so thank you for your review! So, you didn't feel the need to follow up with a moisturizing DC (with it being a reconstructor)? What strength of a protein would you say it is? Does a little go along way (trying to see if I can get away with buying a sample size)? I am SUPER protein sensitive, so I wanna be sure before I pick up a jar. Thanks Ms. Riley!
Nah, no DC follow up for me. My hair was pretty soft after I rinsed it out. Once I applied my protein spray and moisturizing creamy leave-ins, my hair was like buttah.
For me, it's a light protein (anything I use with baobab protein by itself is light). To be fair though, I don't consider it a protein treatment either for my hair. It behaves like a balancing DC for me - my hair was mildly strengthened but very moisturized.
If you're protein sensitive then maybe following up with a moisturizing DC after would be best. I'm not particularly sensitive so I could get away with what I did (I use some kind of protein containing product every wash day). I say grab a sample jar and do a patch test before committing to a regular size just in case your hair hates it.

I would be to' up relying on the amount of Handmades I use too.
ETA: That's why I try to keep a variety of the same types of products from Multiple vendors.
Exactly. I got burned a few years ago with Mala and since then I do the same thing. Now
@IDareT'sHair It sure does pay off. I don't have time messing around with folks that keep reformulating, discontinuing and re-branding. I just KIM@curlyhersheygirl
You gotta do it like that Curly to protect your Curls! That's when being a PJ pays off.
@AgeinATL
Sorry to hear that...
I always worry about that with the amount of handmades that I rely on (besides shampoo and non-mixed oils, everything I use is a handmade). I've been really looking harder at OTG stuff so I can have backups to all the HMs I love.
@AgeinATL Sorry to hear about that. I can totally relate because my hair is VERY finicky , so I too rejoice when I find something that works. My hair hated the Sorell Kink Drink, it was too drying for me.
I love hand made products but I've noticed with all these inconsistencies and reformulations, I have to make sure I find comparable products that I can get on the ground.
