The trend seems to be for me to start out my product reviews with the cons, so, in true Bree fashion that’s what I’ll do!

ONE BIG CON:

The shipping and communication (package deal of horror)!

I ordered this product on OCTOBER 29, 2020.

I want that to sink in because it’s important. I ordered this product, did not receive it in PR, and this is not a sponsored post. I saw this product promoted by Issa Rae as her “go-to” products and like many others (I’m sure), I was intrigued. So, I went to the website and purchased the whole curated box.

This box retails for $75 and includes 4 products (they even threw in two satin scrunchies). The tax, state included, came to $6.57 and the shipping was $9.95. My order total was $91.52. Fine! Right?

Wrong. For a month, I heard nothing regarding my purchase. When I communicated with the brand about the whereabouts or even a status update on the production or processing of orders I received generic responses like:

“We’re excited to get the products to you…”

“We can’t wait for you to try these products out.”

“We’re looking forward to getting these products to you.”

But, NEVER did I receive actual information regarding when and where my product was! Finally on NOVEMBER 30, 2020 I received word that my product had “updated shipping information”. This must’ve simply meant that it finally made its way to a transport facility and a label was created. I finally received the products on DECEMBER 7, 2020. This ended up being a month and 7 days worth of a wait with terrible communication in-between.

At this point, I think it’s important to take you back to the fact that I paid for this month long shipping! This was probably one of my worst experiences with shipping on a product and I had to check multiple times just to make sure that they hadn’t forgotten my order. I did the bulk of the legwork when it came to follow-up and communication and that is not how things should go when you’re running a business.

ENOUGH OF THAT, LET’S GET TO THE PROS:

What’s In The Box?

1. Plant Power Protein and Moisture Repair Mask, 10 Fl Oz.

2. H.A.P.I. Shampoo, 10 Fl Oz.

3. Dew Magic Leave-In Conditioning Creme, 10 Fl Oz.

4. Daily Elixir Moisturizing Hair and Scalp Oil, 3 Fl Oz.

Packaging:

The packaging is, in my opinion, spot-on for the brand and the ingredients. They are different shades of greens and a bit of brown which a reminiscent of the earth.

Overall, these products left my hair feeling good, but I will say that other products have made my hair feel way more moisturized!

Where I think that these products went wrong was with the Leave-In Conditioner! I think that this product will definitely work for less textured hair types, but even when building and building, with Type 4 hair, it just doesn’t seem to provide the amount of moisture that I needed.

Granted, these are just products from the curated box! So, Sienna Naturals may have thicker products that can feed that need, but those simply weren’t included in this box.

If I were to rate these products on a scale from 1-10, then I’d rate them as follows:

1. Plant Power Protein & Moisture Repair Mask: 8.5/10

2. H.A.P.I. Shampoo: 9/10

3. Dew Magic Leave-In Conditioner: 5/10

4. Lock & Seal Daily Elixir Moisturizing Hair & Scalp Oil: 6.5/10
