Review on The Body Shop Brazil Nut Moisture Mask


This product receives a 3.2/5 rating from Makeupally and 9.3/10 from Total Beauty, which is quite surprising as its a stark contrast between both groups of users.
Its a either you-hate-it or like-it situation.

How it works:

White and creamy texture in a tub, there is a slight scent of coconut which was a turn-off point for me. 
Unlike most conditioning mask, this mask actually feels dry on my hair when I first slathered it on my hair. 
Slathering even more of this treatment mask gave me the same effect and made my hair feels straw-like. Its abit strange for even myself to describe it but it definitely was not what I expected a moisturizing mask to behave like.

According to the instruction stated on the tub, its supposed to be used as a pre-treatment mask. However, I found it funny to use it on my dirty hair, before my shampoo. Anyway, I followed the instruction, after the pre-treatment mask, then followed by my regular shampoo and conditioner.

After the treatment, although my hair feels softer but its does not help in the detangling and stills feels somehow dry.  
I did not quite like the texture when applied on the hair and I believed that there are tons of hair masks better than this.
