Ah, the mask that got so much hype on Youtube and blogs all over the world. It's a hype I really got into and once I saw it in Fennicks I grabbed it and practically ran to the till. It cost me around £23 which is ridiculous, I feel like a complete idiot considering you can get it around £13 on amazon. Anyway; I've tried this mask, used it many times and here are my thoughts on the mask.
When removing the lid it comes with this white lid ontop of the mask. I am going to recommend MASSIVELY you remove both lids before stepping foot in your shower or bath because opening this darn thing when your hands are wet is literally impossible, I felt like throwing it across the room and being done with it the first time I got the mask and brought it into the shower, so yeah be warned.
Once you get past that, the mask looks like this:
Sorry I used this before I reviewed it, and should have taken photos when it was brand new, but I was too excited. So yeah, it looks like this, feels very thick and luxurious, the smell is fantastic, truly. The instructions say this:
Liberally comb through clean, wet hair and allow up to 7 minutes of penetration before rinsing. No heat necessary. Deep Repair Masque is an intense treatment. Use no more than twice a week.
& the product claims to be a "Revitalizing hair reconstructor" the product is cruelty free, paraben free & alchohol free.
Okay I'm going to say it. I really tried to love this as much as everyone else but I couldn't. Other than the smell I really wasn't blown away at all. I thought I'd be the perfect target audience with coloured, damaged hair (which is in need of some love.) but alas. Yes my hair felt soft and it was shiny, but for the price there are many others things that do the exact same for considerably less. I wouldn't purchase this again for even the £13 on amazon if that says something. Hair masks are something I am willing to invest money into because I like pampering myself with hair and face masks and I find the experience relaxing and pleasant, a treat if you will. I will finish this up because I feel like I have to because of the amount I paid for it.
I have tried using this for the 7 minutes it has recommended, for 2-3 hours, and even overnight to see if I get these great results but no such luck. I can recommend Aussie's 3 minute miracle as an alternative to this. If your hair is coloured, buy the one designed for coloured hair, if not buy the one for normal hair.
I paid £23 for 250ml of this mask. If you are still interested and want to buy this product, buy the sachet online (or instore if you can) first! You can always buy a tub later. If you are going to buy a tub, look on amazon. Do not buy from Fennicks. I rate this product a 3/5.
