I purchased Innersense Hydrate + Nourish set last year which includes a collection if minis to mask, cleanse, condition, and replenish to soft, healthy, hydrated hair. These ultra-rich formulas are said to work for all hair types, especially those that are dry, damaged, thick or coarse.
Innersense Hydrating Hair Mask is an intensive hair mask to restore and repair dry, damaged hair.
Restore integrity, softness and hydration to dry, damaged or coarse hair with this indulgent treatment mask. Its clean formula is brimming with decadent, Certified Organic ingredients such as Shea Butter, Tamanu Oil and Jojoba Oil to help fight frizz, smooth split ends, replenish hydration and protect against moisture loss, breakage and environmental stressors. Hair is left looking and feeling repaired, revitalized and resilient.
Best for dry, damaged or, coarse hair, this hair mask has a fragrance note of Sage Vanilla and is housed in 59ml bottle with a flick top cap to dispense the white creamy mask contents.
I brought it along to my recent Taiwan trip where the weather hovers around 18-21 degrees and this hair mask helped to soften my long tresses. Unfortunately, my hair was tangled badly due to the weather and the hair mask only helped to minimize them slightly. This will not be a repurchase.
The formula is vegetarian, gluten-free, free from phthalates, ethoxylates, sulfates, silicones, parabens, petro-compounds, propylene, PEG, artificial dyes and synthetic fragrances. It is also cruelty-free.
Hair Gain's luxurious hair mask has been scientifically formulated to provide deep nourishment and hydration, helping to promote fuller, thicker and stronger hair. The restorative formula nuture and revitalize the scalp, for reduced hair loss, improved hair quality and increased lustre and shine.
Hair Gain is a totally new brand to me and it came together with my Cult Beauty The Volume Edit. This is a 50ml travel size and I am glad to try it out to battle my thinning crown, despite my thick tresses.
Made in the UK, Hair Gain is famed for its AnaGain™ as its central ingredient which is derived from the small but mighty pea shoot.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
The Hair Gain Nourishing Miracle Treatment Hair Mask comes in a charming 50ml travel tube, adorned in lovely pink. While the tube itself is pink and emits a subtle fragrance, the contents inside are surprisingly green, creating a striking contrast to the packaging. The texture is more akin to a lotion than a cream, providing a unique experience.
How To Use :
1) Apply to clean, towel-dried hair, massaging into scalp.
2) Leave on for 5-10 minutes then rinse.
Tip : Use it 1-2 times per week for the best results
Performance and Ingredients
Reactivating hair growth and moisturising hair from within, the Nourishing Miracle Treatment Mask is said to lead to stronger and healthier-looking hair with dazzling shine.
Derived from organic pea shoots, the brands exclusive AnaGain technology stimulates the hair follicles prolonging the life cycle of each strand to create a thicker, stronger and more vibrant look. A by-product of vitamin B and a popular hair conditioning agent, panthenol prevents damage, inspires shine and delivers long-lasting moisture. Natural, sugar beet-derived betaine strengthens and protects the hair further while reducing the look of humidity-induced frizz, and phytantriol protects the hair from heat damage, split ends and colour fading. With a decadent scent thatll delight both your olfactory senses and hair, simply use this rich and nutrient-dense formula for ten relaxing minutes to reap its endless rewards.
This hair mask is recommended to be used on clean towel-dried hair for 10 minutes which I did. The experience was refreshing and calming, leaving a cool sensation on both my scalp and hair. Upon rinsing, my hair felt incredibly soft, smooth, nourished, and full of bounce.
Experimenting further, I tried using it as a pre-shampoo treatment, but the results weren't as impressive compared to applying it after shampooing. Regrettably, regardless of the application method, I still experienced some hair fall hence it won't be a repurchase.
The key ingredients are...
AnaGain™ : A powerful phytonutrient and clinically tested hair booster derived from organic pea shoots
Panthenol : Functions as a powerful conditioning agent to improve shine and provide long-lasting moisture.
Natural Betaine : Reduces frizz and strengthens and protects the hair.
To conclude, Hair Gain Nourishing Miracle Treatment Hair Mask has a lightweight lotion consistency leaving a cool sensation on both my scalp and hair during the 10 minutes treatment. Upon rinsing, my hair felt incredibly soft, smooth, nourished, and full of bounce. Unfortunately, hair fall ensued hence it won't be a repurchase.

After emptying the popular Shiseido Tsubaki Premium Hair Mask, it is time to check out another popular hair mask - Shiseido Fino Premium Touch Hair Mask. Both products are under the same Shiseido brand but Tsubaki is an instant hair mask with a lighter texture and worked instantly ( with a cheaper price ) while Fino is a deep conditioning mask with a slightly heavier texture and requires 10 minutes of application time before rinsing off.
Shiseido Tsubaki Premium Hair Mask is an Instant Rinse-Off Repair Treatment which contains Camellia Oil and Royal Jelly that deeply penetrates into the hair for to provide and lock in nutrients for sustained effects of salon treatment.
Its dense beauty ingredients are excellent for repairing and moisturizing, and innovative penetration technology deeply penetrates the inside of your hair, to provide care for damaged hair. It results in a smooth finish throughout your hair. It can be washed off immediately without any hassle, with a finish that resembles salon-quality hair.
My hair has been getting dry with frequent hair colouring at every 6-7 weeks so my sister recommended Shiseido Tsubaki Premium Hair Mask which she has been using for several years. It has been 4 years since I last tried a Shiseido product.
Founded in 1872, Shiseido started out as a Western-style pharmacy in Tokyo, Japan. In 1897, Shiseido introduced Eudermine, a softening lotion that marked the brand's shift to a cosmetics company. Today, the Shiseido company houses a range of cosmetics brands offering skin care, makeup, fragrances and beauty accessories like eyelash curlers.
A 30 minute rinse-off mask including a reusable cap.
Carefully handcrafted in Switzerland with the precision of Swiss science, this hair mask combines the power of organic black currant and grape to repair and rejuvenate hair.
Made in Poland, modest[ego] is committed to bringing us clean ingredients, experiences and designs with superior beauty products handcrafted together with the quality of Swiss Science.
I chanced upon a 50% discount on Modest Ego Organic Black Currant & Grape Repair Hair Mask in Guardian Pharmacy which came in timely for my upcoming hair colouring job. I like to deep-condition my hair a day after my hair colouring, as my tresses are always lumpy, dry and hard for about 3 days after each hair colouring session.
Modest Ego Organic Black Currant & Grape Repair Hair Mask comes in 2 parts - the upper portion stores a reusable cap while the bottom portion stores the creamy hair mask.
It has a blackcurrant and grape fragrance and is white creamy in texture for coating on the hair, like a conditioner.
How To Use :
1) Wash your hair and towel dry
2) Apply the hair mask from lengths to tips, then cover your hair with the cap
3) Relax & let the real botanicals transform your hair. Leave it on for 30 minutes.
4) Rinse off and enjoy your naturally beautiful hair
Performance and Ingredients
Made in Poland, Modest Ego Organic Black Currant & Grape Repair Hair Mask is a vegan formula with 95% ingredients of natural origins without sulfates, parabens and dyes. Recommended for normal and thick hair, this hair mask helps to repair and rejuvenate damaged hair.
It is pretty easy to use - just coat the hair with the creamy hair mask, wear the reusable cap over it and remove after 30 minutes to rinse off the mask contents. Viola! Hair is so soft and smooth!
Being a hair mask, this is recommended to be used on freshly-washed hair, however, I used it just before I rinsed my hair and it worked great too. I need to soften my hair before shampoo-ing which was why I chose to use this hair mask as a pre-shampoo treatment.
That said, the hair mask contents are insufficient for very long tresses, so I would only recommend it for middle-length hair. Adding on, the fragrance can get pretty overwhelming. Even after rinsing it off, the fragrance lingers till the next wash.
To conclude, Modest Ego Organic Black Currant & Grape Repair Hair Mask worked great as a deep conditioning hair mask for soft and smooth hair, except that the fragrance can be pretty overwhelming as it lingered till the next wash. It is best suited for middle length hair as the contents may be insufficient for very long hair.

Product Description
Salon-grade hair treatment at home without the mess? FaceTory has got you covered! Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask is the perfect solution to deeply moisturize and repair your hair. Its steaming effect technology enhances the hair with strengthening and restorative ingredients, leaving your locks glossy, soft, and strong.
Key Ingredients + Benefits
Shea Butter - Conditions and softens for glossy soft hair
Green Tea Extract and Ginger Root - Improves scalp health and strengthens dry hair
Hair steaming is a technique that’s been used for years in hair salons. Essentially, you coat your hair in nourishing oils, apply heat (that’s where the ginormo retro heater comes in) and leave your hair to absorb all the vapours while the machine puffs behind you like a merry old smoker.
Steaming is the process of using moist heat to help open up the hair follicle, lift the cuticle on the hair shaft and allow conditioner and treatments to penetrate each strand to allow better absorption of moisture. It is one of the best things you can do to pamper your hair, as the heat aids in hydrating dry hair leaving your parched hair happy. And now, you can do it at the comfort of your own home with individually packed sheets that come with heat caps.
I won a sheet of FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask together with other products from a giveaway hosted by Sergei Shumilin on Instagram. Since I have long hair, such hair masks are much welcomed for glossy and moisturising locks, especially since I seldom do hair treatments after each hair colouring job nowadays.
Based in USA, FaceTory boasts of innovative, affordable and reliable Kbeauty products that are approachable and functional.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask comes in a bright and colourful packaging that would be sure to add a dose of colour and fun to your bathroom shelf.
I can't describe the scent too well, but it reminded me of those hair treatment scents in hair salons. Not overpowering but a nice-to-have scent that lingered on the hair for awhile.
I actually spent some time searching for the opening of the white plastic cap when in fact, one just need to "tear" open the cap and slip all the hair in. The white creamy contents ( which isn't alot ) are found within the cap to condition the hair through heat.
How To Use
1. After shampooing, gently squeeze out excess water from your hair.
2. Remove the hair mask from the package and gently separate by tugging on the two flaps of the mask.
3. Place the mask over your hair, adjusting to your head by tightening the sticker link strap. Make sure the sticker comes to the front of your head.
4. Lightly massage your hair from the outside of the cap to make sure the nutrients are thoroughly absorbed into the hair.
5. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
Note: This hair mask has a slight steaming effect, so don’t be alarmed if it feels warm!
Check out the video below for a demonstration of how FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask works.
Performance and Ingredients
Sulfate-Free, Paraben-Free and Animal Cruelty Free, FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask worked the same way as Yuchoo By Me Steam Hair Mask where the cap is said to retain both the heat and moisture of freshly washed hair to lock in the ingredients, so as to deliver nutrients to the hair to instantly strengthen and nourish damaged hair.
After shampoo-ing the hair, I pushed in all the towel-dried hair to be within the cap, use the sticker to seal up the cap and followed the instruction to wait for 15 minutes. It is recommended to massage the hair with the cap but as the adhesive isn't too sticky so any movement may shift the whole cap position and loosen the sticker, so I refrained from doing it.
The heat cap emits warmth but isn't hot at all. I still have to touch the cap several times to ensure that its "working". :P
After 15 minutes, its time to rinse off the hair mask, however, I don't feel the difference on hair until it dried and I can instantly felt that my hair was soft, smooth and tangle-free. The following day, my hair still felt soft and smooth even during shampoo-ing.
In terms of ingredients, FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask contains Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Olive Oil to condition and soften unruly, tangled hair. Ginger Root Extract and Green Tea Extract helps to improve scalp health and moisturize dry hair.
To conclude, FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask is an effective hair treatment product for soft, smooth and tangle-free tresses. However, I do wish that the white creamy contents can be much more for long and thick tresses like mine!
The individual packs are so travel-friendly that you can bring them wherever you go, for softer hair immediately - on a staycation, on a cruise or overseas trip! I wouldn't mind repurchasing them!
Product Description
Ellips Hair Mask Pro-Keratin Complex is enriched with a combination of Vitamin A,C,E Pro Vitamin B5 and other active ingredients helps keep the hair healthy, shiny and strong.
Made in Indonesia, Ellips is just one of the products manufactured by Kino, which started off as a small distribution company and has now evolved to being involved with a wide scope of business in skin care, foods, beverages and pharmacy.
Ellips Hair Mask Pro Keratin Complex comes in 3 variants - Hair Repair, Smooth and Silky and Silky Black.
Hair Repair – Enriched with Jojoba Oil. Nourishes, Smoothens and Strengthens. Smooth and Silky – Enriched with Aloe Vera Oil and also softens and enhances shine. Silky Black – Enriched with Candle Nut and Aloe Vera Oil. Smoothens and nourishes black hair.
A good friend has gifted a tube of Ellips Vitamin Hair Mask With Pro-Keratin Complex after she came back from Batam.
Housed in a black and pink tube, Ellips Vitamin Hair Mask With Pro-Keratin Complex certainly looks striking in the bathroom. White with a creamy silicon-y texture, it is heavily scented and contains a high concentration of silicone( Dimethicone listed as the 3rd ingredient ) which makes hair silky smooth during washing and once dried, hair is much softer and smoother.
The mask works pretty quickly - you only need 2 minutes which is much preferred by many ladies. However, the scent is rather strong, which lingers throughout the application and on the hair till the following day.
Note that the material of the tube isn't that good as the pink coating from the exterior of the tube came off each time I was depressing it for usage.
It is recommended to use the mask once a week or as often as you need it. I tend to use it thrice a week where I applied the hair mask on the hair ends.
Ellips Vitamin Hair Mask With Pro-Keratin Complex left the hair feeling softer, smoother and detangles well, leaving very slight kinks behind. However, I don't feel that my hair is sufficiently moisturised.
In terms of ingredients, Jojoba Oil is found in the bottom 1/3 of the ingredient list so the concentration is not high. And truth to be told, too much silicone on hair care products isn't a good thing.
Silicone provides slip and shine, smooth and straighten hair, and gives hair a luxurious, conditioned feel as it is primarily used to lubricate/condition and to add shine. Silicone makes hair that is dry and damaged look and feel like it’s healthy by filling in the porosity—what looks like frizz and split ends—and driving and locking in conditioner. It protects the hair from the elements, keeping it smooth and shiny by ‘waterproofing’ each strand.
While silicone gives the hair the illusion of shine, but it is not the shine we want—it is a fake shine from the plastic. The shine we want is when the cuticle layer is sealed and light reflects off the hair. This only happens when hair is properly hydrated and kept as healthy as possible.
Silicone will weigh the hair down, making it limp, lifeless, and, with time, very dull. It prevents moisture from penetrating the hair shaft and becomes like a magnet for dirt and other ingredients. So in essence, we get a good shine for a couple of days, but over time it will attract more buildup on the hair. With time it will dry the hair out because it won’t allow in the conditioner and it ends up sitting on the surface. Due to lack of moisture, the hair will become very brittle and could lead to frizz and breakage.
Is this what you want from your hair products? You can read the whole story here, quoted from celebrity hair stylists.
To conclude, this is an affordable silicon-laden drugstore hair mask and the effects last as long as you use it. The scent is overpowering and the moisture is insufficient so it won't be a repurchase for me.

Product Description
Achieve soft, shiny and silky hair with Yuchoo Steam Silk Hair Pack, a highly-raved and convenient hair salon treatment in a pack!
A year ago, there have been an influx of steam hair masks coming from Korea, touted as a convenient salon treatment at the comfort of your own home. I was intrigued and promptly purchased 5 packs from Waseyo.
Hailing from Korea, Yuchoo By Me Steam Hair Mask is paraben-free, benzophenone-free, talc-free with no artificial pigment and T.E.A. It comes with an essence foil cap ( has an annoying crinkly noisy plastic sound ) that heat up once fastened onto the head. Initially, I had some problems trying to adjust the foil cap as it has an odd shape that is difficult to wear and keep in place, but after some tries, I have sort of "master" it.
The essence foil cap is said to retain both the heat and moisture of freshly washed hair to lock in the ingredients, so as to provide nutrients, elasticity, hydration and soften damaged hair. The heating effect of Vanillyl Butyl Ether opens up the damaged cuticle layer so that nutritional ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, acorus gramineus get absorbed deep into the hair.
Product Description
Sephora line of hair masks with targeted benefits to hydrate and repair hair while you sleep. They are designed to be applied to dry hair, acting overnight for better results. Each is targeted to a specific hair concern without weighing hair down. Just apply to hair, cover with the included cap, and wake up to hair that is softer, more flexible, and visibly more beautiful.
Sephora has came up with a line of hair masks for overnight use. There are 4 varieties available.
Coconut Mask: Nourishes and repairs hair fibers. Shea Mask: Fortifies and helps to prevent breakage and split ends. Rose Mask: Smooths and prevents frizzing. Acai Mask: Protects colour and boosts radiance.
I received Sephora Shea Hair Sleeping Mask as part of my Christmas gift from a good friend of mine last year, to which I use it after my newly coloured hair ( roots touch-up only ) recently, in order to keep my tresses in good condition.
Coming from Sephora Collection, the price is not exactly cheap for a 1 time use product but if it works as well as the hair treatment at the salon, then its definitely value for money. Sometimes, its better to have 1 product that solve all your hair worries and concerns than to get many products without seeing any results. Curious to hear how it works for my thick and long tresses?
Product Description A deeply reparative treatment masque that nourishes and strengthens, improving manageability and leaving hair soft, shiny and restored Ahh...the effects of aging has taken a toll on my hair, with all the greys peeking out. And its time to whip out the Alterna Caviar Repair Fill and Fix Treatment Masque after a hair colouring job, especially when this masque can weave its magic in just 3 minutes flat which probably justify the price tag just a tiny weeny bit.
Product Description Intense repairing formula, with lightweight Incha Inchi Oil, penetrates deep and repairs the look and feel of overstyled hair , reducing the risk of breakage. Damaged hair becomes silky and full. Safe for colour-treated and chemically-treated hair. I won the full retail size of John Frieda Full Repair Deep Conditioner Mask together with the rest of the products in the Full Repair range from John Frieda sometime back and has been using the mask as a daily conditioner for the past 3 weeks. Surprisingly, a 150ml size depleted pretty fast, probably because of my long tresses. Then again, it could also be due to it being a tub, where I can easily scoop dollops of the mask generously onto my hair. The scent of John Frieda Full Repair Deep Conditioner Mask is strong, distinct and smells great. The texture of the mask is not overly thick and feels more like a conditioner rather than a mask. My hair feels smoother and softer after every treatment. Actually, its been a long while since I used mainstream hair brands and is glad that this conditioner mask works well but I will still lean towards organic and natural brands, if I can. If you have been looking for a good hair mask, I will recommend you to try this out and see if it works well for you. Spend just a little effort on your hair every day and you will see a difference in time to come. The same motto goes for all things in life. Source : John Frieda

The red tub with its white creamy contents has a lingering odd scent which I didn't quite fancy but is still bearable.

I use it once every few days in replace of the Shikai Colour Intensive Conditioner for added deep conditioning to my long hair.

Product Description
Dry hair? L’Oréal Paris introduces the latest solution to nourish and revive dry hair. Re-Nutrition, an exclusive range combining L'Oreal's latest conditioning technology with an extract derived from nature; Royal Jelly.
Dry hair suffers from weakened hair fibres, a dull appearance, low natural shine and can be hard to manage. The conditioning ingredients in the Re-Nutrition 1 minute Nourishing Mask bathe even very dry hair. The nourishing properties infuse the hair fibre with moisture to regain manageability and bounce. Hair feels instantly replenished and revitalised.
Yet another 5 piece sachets in a box which I purchased from JB, together with Total Repair 5 Hair Mask. I prefer this Royal Jelly Hair Mask over the Total Repair Hair Mask as I can see and feel the effects.
With a fragrant scent of royal jelly, the hair mask has a thick white creamy consistency that goes on easily onto my hair ends. I usually used this hair mask like a conditioner, on freshly washed hair.
Each sachet lasts for about 3 times of usages which meant 15x of pampering experiences.
The initial experience was good, it detangles my hair beautifully and left my hair feeling soft with a bounce. However, the effects become medicore after the 2nd sachet. My hair was lightly detangled but still with some kinks at the hair ends.
Product Description
Damaged Hair can lack the natural cement which keeps the hair strong and resilient. To ensure cohesion and strength, the l'Oreal laboratories have created ceramide cement technology to replace the hair's natural cement, targetting the 5 problems.
1. Hair fall
2.Dryness
3.Roughness
4.Dullness
5.Split ends
Benefits :
1. Repairs: the hair fibres, the hair structure is re-enforced and hair regains strength like new
2. Transforms: the hair surface to a regular and smooth condition 2 minute intensive repairing power of the masque for hair that is as if totally repaired
I picked up a box of 5 sachets from Watsons in Johor Bahru some time back this year. Surprisingly, its not found on our local shores. I have not been using Loreal products for a while as it always seemed abit over-rated for the performance it delivers.
Each sachet can lasts me for about 3 times of usages from shoulder to bra-length hair. I used it like a conditioner, coated my hair with it and allow it to penetrate it for the next 3 to 5 minutes and skipped my regular conditioner whenever I am using this.
I hardly ever use hair masks because most hair masks in the market require you to have it on the hair for at least 10 to 20minutes which I can hardly keep to. This deep repair hair mask only requires about 2 minutes for it to weave its magic, on washed or towel-dried hair.
It is difficult to open the sachet, even with the slit available. A pair of scissors will do a better job.
The texture of the white coloured hair masque is thick and concentrated. Each time I opened a sachet, I used it for 3 days because using the whole sachet on the hair seemed to be abit overdosed. Thereafter, I stopped for a few days before resuming the cycle again.
During the initial phase, it made my hair really soft and silky. Even my bad tangled hair was detangled beautifully. But after the 2nd sachet, the magic was gone.
Even though the hair did feel soft and the tangled hair ends were detangled on most of the times ( read : not every time ), the performance seemed on par with a good conditioner, considering that this is a deep repair hair mask.
Hair Fall - I have a normal hair-fall rate. While using this hair masque, I did not notice a significant improvement to the hair fall. Dryness - The hair masque did nourish the hair but a good conditioner can do a good job as well. Roughness - This hair masque made the hair soft and silky initially and maintained the softness throughout the usage of the 5 sachets Dullness - My hair does appear to have more vitality and vibrant, compared to not using the hair masque. Split Ends - My split-end condition is manageable at this point, so I can hardly see a significant improvement to it.
Product Description
This luxurious hair mask is packed with olive oil, jojoba extract and Dead Sea mud. It conditions and
strengthens hair, helping to reduce breakage and tangling.
I received a 30g complimentary sample when I purchase some items from Cest Naturel .I really like brands which gave out small sample sizes for users to try out. If they like it, they would have come back to get the retail size. I do not think there is anything to lose, just write it off as part of the Marketing expenses.
The 30g sample size is not exactly big but its enough for one to try it out before investing in the full 250g size.
The direct scent is unbearable but it dissipated once applied on the hair. In fact, I hardly sense any fragrance when I used it on my hair ends, as part of a daily conditioner routine. It last me for about a week.
Olive oil and jojoba extracts have moisturising and softening benefits to the hair and are definitely good stuff. It did make my hair slightly softer than usual but it was not within my expectations of a hair mask, considering that hair mask should be of intensive treatment. I do see a slight shine in my hair, which is good news for me.
It fits my expectations of a conditioner but not of an intensive hair mask conditioning.
If you are interested, you can choose to get the 30g or 250g here or check out the sale products at Cest Naturel

Demineralized water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Olive

I picked this up from one of Ho Chi Minh's supermarkets when I was there in July. Quite an unlikely place to get beauty products but thats certainly what I did. lol.
Most of the words are in Vietnamese language but from the name, I guess its a hair treatment mask. I am currently using it as a daily hair conditioner.
There is a lovely fragrance, the texture is like a moussy cream and its quite a breeze to apply on the hair ends. However, I actually do not feel any significant difference on my hair with this mask, as compared to other hair masks.

A complimentary 50ml size was given to me from Testerbar when I signed up as a member a couple of months ago. I have been using it regularly for the past 1.5 months.
Initially, I started off using it on a weekly basis as I treated it as a pampering treat for my tresses over the weekend. Thereafter, I thought I should use it as a daily conditioner basis to assess the effectiveness.
There was a chemical fragrance, which reminded me more of the salon type. However, it does not really linger much on the hair. The texture is quite unusual for a hair mask. Not very fluid, but feels and looks like a hard cream.
Recommended for 5 to 15 minutes on the hair, I usually leave it for like 5 minutes on the hair ends or rather, 1/4 of my hair length after my shampoo. Note that, quite alot of the contents are needed for the hair so I believe my tube should be finishing quite soon.
It does leave my hair feeling softer to the touch and lesser frizziness. Manageable looser curls and lesser volume. My inner hair shaft is usually quite badly tangled and I do not find that this hair mask helps in that aspect though.
For your information, I have long, wavy thick coarse hair. Slightly damaged ends, due to chemical treatment so I have been refraining from any hair colouring jobs for this year.
It has quite impressive reviews from Total Beauty and Makeupalley.
