Seeing "instant" or "under five minutes" makes me instantly skeptical -- pun intended -- especially when it comes to hair products. Many make bold claims about "transformative powers" and "visible improvements" without the results to back them up. I've tried my fair share of hair treatments, serums and masks and while they make a fun self-care activity, most don't leave me with the ultra-soft, unrecognizable mane they promise.
But now that the cold fall air is approaching and my strands are looking a little duller, drier and frizzier, I decided to try this pre-shampoo rescue mask one reviewer calls the "best hair treatment ever". It's a bold statement, but I'm convinced they're right! My locks are noticeably shinier, silkier and smoother after a single use.
Chia seed extract, murumuru butter, flaxseed oil, coconut oil and vitamin E just are a few of the superstar ingredients in the lineup. These potent natural ingredients work together to soften, hydrate and repair, strengthening strands while making them look lustrous. According to the brand, the revitalizing formula makes hair 20% stronger after one treatment!
The icing on the cake is that this mask is clean beauty-approved! Made without silicones, parabens, mineral oils, animal products and other toxins, this mask can be used on all hair types -- even color-treated hair! Your mane will be soft and nourished without being weighed down. The non-greasy, lightweight formula doesn't build up on strands, either, a bonus for those of Us with greasy-prone hair. And since it's designed for pre-shower use, you don't have to worry about any residue!
It couldn't be easier to incorporate this mask into your routine. Simply apply the mask to your ends and mid-ends, let it sit for five minutes, then shampoo and condition as normal. That's it! I found that my hair was much easier to brush after getting out of the shower, but once it dries is when the magic happens.
"My ends have never felt and looked better," one reviewer writes. "It almost looked like I'd had a haircut because they looked so healthy." Another notes that the formula smells "angelic", a claim I can stand by! The formula falls on the pricey end, but it's worth it for the restorative effects. I can't wait to make this a regular part of my fall and winter haircare routines!
