Product Education

Donna's Recipe was co-founded by Gina Woods and Tabitha Brown to make healthier, happier hair simple. The Sweet Potato Pie Extra Creamy Collection is a moisture-first wash day and styling system for curls, coils, and textured hair, built on the LOC Method, a 3-step moisture layering technique that provides hydration, seals in moisture, and gives superior curl definition. The water-based Leave-In Conditioner offers hydration, the Hair Butter seals the moisture in, and the Hair Cream is an additional boost of moisture that gives the perfect curl definition, with no hard feel and no flakiness.

INSIDE EVERY SWEET POTATO PIE FORMULA: sweet potato extract, cinnamon bark and vanilla, plus shea and mango seed butters, coconut and avocado oils, cocoa butter, aloe vera, squalane, vitamin E and silk amino acids.
