Wday tests: masks and hair conditioners

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

I started using this series as soon as it came out – over a year ago. Initially, the attitude was biased: complete disposal of split ends in a few applications? I do not believe!

But after the first use of the series: shampoo, mask, serum, the attitude changed. Hair looked shiny and silky. With incredible effort, I proved to my friends that even if you use only the serum after washing your hair, the effect will be amazing.

The main ingredients of the mask are kerafil and amla oil. After a year of testing and using the products, I once again come out with the verdict that cheap does not mean bad.

I have been friends with John Frieda for a long time. There have never been any complaints about the products of the English brand. This time I got my hands on a mask from the FRIZZ-EASE series, which is designed to care for curly and unruly hair. The first definition can be accurately applied to me. Hair naturally curls in strange curls, so a straightener plays an important role in the life of my hair.

The mask is claimed to be a strengthening and emollient agent that repairs hair after damage. I used the product to the fullest: after shampooing for half an hour, I applied the mask to my hair and wrapped it with cling film.

After such thorough testing, the effect is really noticeable: the hair is smooth and soft, and after straightening it retains a glossy shine and does not frizz. Perhaps I will also buy a special spray from the same collection for this mask.

Kiehl’s Superbly Smoothing Argan Hair Pak contains healthy oils: sesame, argan, cocoa and sunflower. Other pleasant bonuses: no silicone or parabens. For lovers of natural cosmetics, this is a significant plus, especially considering the almost widespread use of dimethicone.

The mask has a pleasant argan seed oil scent and a very thick creamy texture. The mask seems to be quite oily to the touch, and therefore it is perfectly distributed over wet hair. I applied it for five to ten minutes immediately after shampooing, after conditioner, on my hair slightly dried with a towel. I used it along the entire length, but did not dare to apply it to the roots. After use, the hair is smooth and nourished.

Since the product is recommended for taming frizzy and unruly hair, it did not give any volume to my straight thin hair. However, I do not consider this a disadvantage at all, because after using the mask, the hair began to shine ten times more than usual and looked very healthy at the same time. It is interesting to try to make a mask for an hour under a plastic cap and a towel. I think the hair will get even better from this procedure. The effect of the mask lasted two days (despite the fact that I wash my head every day). The magical natural scent lasted until the first shower.

When I saw the package of Korres nourishing hair mask, I thought that this product would settle in my bathroom for a short time – the volume is too unusually small (only 125 milliliters). However, it turned out to be very economical to use: a product the size of a five-ruble coin was enough for me for the entire length of my hair just below the shoulder blades (except for the roots).

The scent of this mask is simply divine. It smells very clearly of almond extract, which, of course, is included in the composition. In addition to it, the list of ingredients includes flax seed extract, shea butter, ash, oregano, vitamins B3 and B5. I applied the product to wet hair for ten minutes. The mask washed off without any problems and left a very rich sweet scent on the hair.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be heavy: after drying, there was a feeling of wax on the hair. True, my discontent was replaced by joy: in the cold wind, such a “film” turned out to be useful. I will leave a nourishing mask with almonds for winter beauty procedures – my thin hair will clearly need them.

In the description of the mask with proteins Foundation Penetraitt Treatment, Sebastian Professional says that it intensively restores damaged hair, restores shine and strength, and protects against negative environmental influences.

Apply the product to damp hair for 3-5 minutes (I especially liked this last phrase, since, frankly, I don’t always have enough time to take care of my hair in the morning). So, in fact, after the first application of the Foundation Penetraitt Treatment mask, Sebastian Professional hair becomes smoother and more manageable, combed better, and easy to style. I can’t say anything about the regenerating properties, since I used the remedy for only two weeks.

Kristina Semina, section editor “Life style“:

The Deep Moisture Intensive Mask, Londa Professional first of all attracted me with its pleasant and slightly sweetish aroma of honey and mango. By the way, after use, it stays on the hair for a long time. That was a plus for me. As for the regenerating and caring properties of Deep Moisture Intensive Mask, Londa Professional, they can also be rated as “excellent”. After applying the product, the hair becomes healthier and shine. Also, the mask noticeably thickens and smoothes the hair (this is especially pleasant for girls with long or medium curls).

Previously, I rarely used hair masks, I decided to give it a try. Recently, I really like Faberlic, so I bought their Expert everstrong mask.

The mask feels like whipped butter, but surprisingly, it doesn’t make your hair greasy at all. After it, there is no feeling that there is something left on the hair and it needs to be washed off. I liked the effect very much. Hair is hydrated, shiny, soft and looks healthier.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

Yves Rocher’s Reparation Jojoba and Shea Recovery Express Mask has many advantages. The very first thing I liked was the delicate aroma and smell of almonds, which I really love. The texture is very delicate, but a little oily. After a week of use, the hair began to shine, fall out and break less. In general, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

Like most girls, I didn’t really trust Avon products. I assumed that this was not the best company, but still decided to try at least something with them. Got a hair mask.

Her smell was not particularly impressed, but it did not upset, in general, nothing special. The consistency is rather thick, white in color. I was pleasantly surprised already at the first use.

The mask immediately melts through the hair and is absorbed instantly. When I started to wash off, I noticed that the hair was very soft, pleasant, flowed, even when wet, it did not get tangled at all. The mask washed off quite easily. Moisturizing hair is noticeable after the first time.
