Curl Enhancing Gel - Whipped Vanilla Cream

Sometimes you gotta pop out and show people!

So, picture this: Yesterday, I'm strolling out of Home Goods, minding my own business, when BAM! A lady stops me, laser-focused on my hair. Next thing I know, I'm full-on channeling my inner Tabitha Brown, complete with the "Well honey come on!" – which, let's be real, is NOT my usual vernacular. I practically dragged this poor woman into Ulta, giving her the full 4C hair gospel according to Donna's Recipe. Shampoo, conditioner, the whole shebang! I even had to explain that Donna is, in fact, my hair's name. The look on her face? Priceless. But hey, she walked out with the entire line, so who's laughing now? (Besides me, internally, the whole time.) You've got a new customer, and she's about to enter the wonderful world of Tab. Sometimes you gotta pop out and show people. Right? 😉

Limited Time Signature Donna's Recipe T-Shirt

Donna's in the House!

My outfit after I'm discharged from the hospital. I will be rocking my girl. Can't find the scarf though. Even though the T-shirt is a little thinner, the feel is soft. Love my shirt. Will send followup picture with new hair do wearing my T-shirt and sweatshirt. The phrase "I'm every woman" is proudly displayed within the various hairstyles. It speaks to us. We all can identify with one of them at some point in our past or present life. We all are uniquely made. Which one is your style?

I'm so glad you're loving your shirt! It's amazing that you'll be rocking it after your hospital discharge – what a powerful statement! The message of 'I'm every woman' truly resonates, and it's great that the designs represent so many different hairstyles and experiences. Your passion for embracing uniqueness really shines through, and I'm sure it will make a statement wherever you go. Can't wait to see the follow-up pictures with your new hairdo! Thanks for sharing your excitement and love for the shirt!

A must have!

If you are doing a flex rod set this is a must have. Moisture for days & no crunchy hair!

Side note: slick your edges with the whipped vanilla cream edge gel.

Now *that’s* a flex rod tip we can get behind! Thank you for the love. Moisture without crunch is the goal, and it sounds like you nailed it. And that side note? A whole gem. That Whipped Vanilla Cream Edge Gel really does bring it all together!

My Forever Hair Care

I don’t like to do too much to my locs so all I need is a good shampoo and conditioner and a good oil. I have been using the Sweet Potato Pie shampoo and conditioner and the scalp oil for at least a year now and this is all I need to keep my locs fresh, healthy, and smelling good!

It’s great to hear you’ve found a simple, effective routine that works for your locs. The Sweet Potato Pie Shampoo, Conditioner, and Scalp Oil are an amazing trio—clean, nourish, and keep everything smelling fresh without the need for too many extras. Sounds like your locs are thriving!

Loved my shirt!

I absolutely loved my shirt! It sparked so many compliments and meaningful conversations, allowing me to spread hair positivity to both my students and the community. It was the perfect touch to enhance my Hair Magic book presentation, making it even more powerful and personal. Seeing all the beautiful hairstyles represented filled me with pride and joy. Now, I’m challenging myself to take a picture in the shirt with each hairstyle—celebrating the beauty, diversity, and magic of our hair every step of the way!

Love my Tee💕Very Empowering

I wore my Donna’s recipe t-shirt and I love it. I love the quality of the tee. The print is very empowering, which it showcases all of Donna’s unique hairstyles. I have been using Donna’s recipe products since they rolled out; so it felt good to represent Donna’s recipe products visually in a tee. When people inquired about my shirt, I happily said…”It’s Donna’s Recipe.”

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! You look absolutely wonderful rocking your Donna’s Recipe tee — and we love hearing how much it means to you. It truly makes us smile knowing you’ve been part of the Donna’s Recipe family from the start, and now you’re representing in style. We appreciate you spreading the word with so much joy and love!

Wash and go has Never looked so good!

I used the Vanilla Whipped Mousse for my wash and go, the photo below is 3 days old. I truly love this product. Finally a mousse I can use alone on color, that doesn’t dry my hair out! Love, love, love!!

That’s incredible! It’s so great to hear that the Vanilla Whipped Mousse is keeping your curls looking fresh and hydrated, even days later. Finding a mousse that works beautifully on color-treated hair without drying it out is a game-changer! Thank you for sharing your experience (and your gorgeous results!).

Biotin Gummies

One of the things I raved about so much was the taste of your strawberry flavored biotin gummies! I loved them because they didn't taste or smell like medicine. I started a new jar and noticed a difference. I'm sad to say that the formula has changed (I compared the old jar ingredients with the new jar ingredients) and I can taste and smell the difference! It's so unfortunate but I won't be buying them anymore after I finish the 2 jars I just bought!

Smells delicious!

This hair and scalp oil was right on time for my protective braid style. I love the scent and it feels so good on my scalp. Very light and easy to apply to the scalp. Definitely a great purchase!

We're so happy to hear that the hair and scalp oil has been the perfect addition to your protective style! A lightweight formula that soothes the scalp and smells great makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing your experience—we truly appreciate your support!

Strength Hair Oil
Nicole Warren (Hampton, Virginia)
Amazing

I suffer from eczema and I had very short hair by choice. I decided to grow my hair out and was looking for something to help me with my eczema, so I purchased the strengthening oil. To my surprise it was absolutely amazing, I could smell the peppermint. It made my scalp sizzle, of course in a good way. It stopped my itching and my hair has grown drastically. I can now wear my hair in a ponytail, it grew in a matter of 2 months no exaggeration. I'm hooked I will keep an ongoing supply. Thank you again Tab and Donna for creating this amazing product.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s truly incredible to hear how the Strengthening Oil has helped soothe your scalp and support such amazing hair growth in just two months. That refreshing peppermint tingle is a favorite, and we’re so glad it provided relief for your eczema while nourishing your hair. We appreciate your support and love that this product has become a staple in your routine. Wishing you continued success on your hair journey!

I'm in Love

I'm absolutely in love with my sweet potato hair cream. I love the consistency and that it's moisturizing, but not greasy at all. I also love the fact that it's not heavy, weighing your hair down. I can honestly tell you, that I'm hooked. I was blessed enough to purchase it while it was on sale. Thank you so much Tab and Donna, for being true to your word and giving us healthy hair products.

It’s wonderful to hear how much you’re loving the Sweet Potato Hair Cream! The perfect balance of moisture without the heaviness is exactly what we aim for, and we’re so glad it’s working so well for you. Even better that you were able to catch it on sale! Thank you for your kind words and support—we truly appreciate you and are so happy to be part of your healthy hair journey!

Nut Free and Works!

Yaassss to the Nut Free line! Absolutely what I needed. My sisterlocs are in love and flourishing. It's not heavy. It does not cause a build-up. The smell is refreshing!!! I have bought 4 bottles for my loc family with nut allergies. Love!!!!

It’s amazing to hear that the Nut-Free line is exactly what you needed! Knowing that your sisterlocs are flourishing without buildup is everything. We love that you’re sharing the love with your loc family, too—thank you for your support!

Donna’s Recipe Strength Oil

I love this oil. I have been using this product for 2 years. I don’t want to be without it. I try to buy in bulk when I can. It really works I experienced hair loss at the crown and right side.
I began noticing hair growing back after 3 weeks of using the oil. I’ve used Wild Growth Oil in the past which I loved but I did not get the results that I get with Donna’s recipe,

It’s truly inspiring to hear about your journey and the incredible results you’ve seen with our oil! The fact that you started noticing regrowth in just a few weeks is amazing. We appreciate your loyalty over the past two years and love that it’s become a must-have in your routine. Thank you for sharing your experience—and your pictures! Your story means so much to us.

I found the right products!

After over 50 years of permed hair, I went natural.This is my 3rd year of natural hair and I initially had no luck finding the right products until I tried Donna's Recipe. Time to throw out the old baby because the shampoo, conditioner, curl enhancing gel & mouse keep my hair conditioned & textured perfectly. I highly recommend for your natural hair needs!

That’s such an incredible journey—congratulations on three years of embracing your natural hair! It’s truly rewarding to hear that Donna’s Recipe has been the perfect fit for your hair care routine. Finding the right products can be a challenge, and we’re so glad our shampoo, conditioner, and stylers are keeping your curls healthy, hydrated, and beautifully textured.

These products are the bomb! Love them!

I have very thick 4C hair and I’m always afraid that products will not work on my hair but baby Donna’s recipe is to die for. It gave me one of the most beautiful twist outs I have had since I’ve gone natural almost 8 years ago. I also use them on my son and both of our hair is flourishing. We love the hair cream and strength oil real bad!

We put a lot of love and care into our products, so it means the world to us when we hear such positive feedback.
