Default Hair Analysis

So as of June 1 curl wizard isn't doing the product recommendation.
I was just wondering if people would still do the analysis without this feature. I'm still thinking about doing it because I feel like my guesses are just shots in the dark (I did do the self tests, I'm just not very hair savvy). Just wanted some opinions

I did the regular analysis even though I had the choice of product recommendations. I figured I could find my own products once I knew what to look for. And I'm glad I did it because I was wrong about my hair properties so the analysis helped explain why my hair wasn't acting the way I thought it was supposed to.

in addition to your learning your properties, it can be helpful as they will explain what types of ingredients to look for in products, ie, protein, or not, or a little or a lot..... etc., so i think it's well worth the money.

Even though I bought mine with product recommendations, I realized afterwards that I probably didn't need them (I wasnt looking to spend a whole lot of money at the time). The biggest key for me, like Corrina, was the fact that I was completely wrong about what I thought my properties were. Finding out my hair properties was the biggest key in figuring things out, so even though they stopped recommending products, I'd still buy it just to know my properties.
