I tried to use this masque sparingly and managed 3 uses out of the tube on my curly hair so far. It’s not too thick and really works in nicely. I only kept it in for about 3 minutes each time but felt that it really moisturized my damaged hair. I usually prefer more of a leave in moisturizer than a rinse out masque but this one is nice. Really love the scent of this entire line minus the conditioner (horrible).
This is a great hair mask and it is great to use on a weekly basis to help my hair stay healthy.I love Joico and this line is absolutely wonderful. I do recommend
This product used with the entire defy damage line by Joico is PHENOMENAL. My hair felt amazing after using this product. It didn’t feel so damaged and it smelt absolutely amazing.
