Update on Donna’s Recipe products.

Hair Gummies
A keeper. Progress is slow but I see it. I believe I’m in my 4th month. I would have to check.

Oil
No comment :giggle:. That’s because I’ve barely used it. I’m sure I’d see more progress if I used it in combination with the gummies. I ain’t there yet.

Extra Creamy Moisturizing Conditioner and Extra Creamy Moisturizing Leave In
Two different products but my opinions are the same. Issa a no for me. They smell great. The consistency for each are as they should be. It’s the performance that doesn’t work for me. I’m a true lazy natural that does a true wash & go. No shingling. No gel. So I need help from my conditioners. No help from these. Matter of fact there’s barely any definition at all. My hair is soft and cloudy. Which is fine for some. Not me. It’s weird to me. Anyways moving on. At $15/bottle I need you to do what I want.
 
Bought some more Soultanicals during this last sale. Regretted not buying anything during Shescentit’s last sale. So of course I’ve purchased during this Mother’s Day sale. Will post list or lists in the what did you buy thread. Can’t remember if I posted the Soultanicals haul already.
 
I think I’m going to follow you @IDareT'sHair and try Curlsmith’s Bond Rehab Salve. I’ll be placing an Ulta order soon so I’ll get it then. Have you used it enough to give an opinion?

Both of my Shescentit orders are supposed to arrive this week. Soultanicals has shipped. No ETA yet.

I’m working from a wishlist so my next big order may be Sarenzo Beauty.
 
Also I’m giving up on steamers. I think this was like my 3rd or 4th one. No matter what I do they fall apart. I contacted the company to ask about replacement parts. Not for free. I wanted to purchase. No response. I’m going to start researching dryers. Probably won’t be a standing one.

I really like CS Bonding Salve. It's very nice. :up: I still have Olaplex3 and still like it as well . I just wanted to rotate it.

I also bought the Redken Bonding Treatment, but I don't care for it as much as CS and/or Olaplex.

However, I do really like the Redken Bonding Leave-In.
 
Put in a huge Sarenzo Beauty order today.

I’ve decided that I’m going to use the Donna’s Recipe oil during my weekly wash day. Better than not at all.

All of my Shescentit and Soultanicals have arrived. Sarenzo Beauty has shipped. I’m thinking where am I going to put the SB? Haven’t had that issue in a long time.

I have trouble every single time ordering from Ulta. I’m going to switch over to Sephora.

Haven't used up anything much. Maybe this wash day?:look:

Been sticking to the same ol' same ol' routines and products. :yawn:

Haven't purchased anything new or tried any new lines
