Sure, it is on the pricier side and one of the (if not the most) expensive hair masks I’ve ever bought, but at least I wasn’t given a tiny thimble with only enough product for two applications. If you’re like most of us, you probably focus a lot of your time and energy on caring for your skin. But what about your hair? It needs love and attention too! And that’s where a hair mask comes in.

After using the hair mask, my mane definitely felt hydrated and I noticed less frizz. I recommend applying it to towel-dried hair, as I found it difficult to work into the hair when it’s completely dry.
