Due to the dry condition of my hair I have to regularly do a hair masque. This a great lower cost option in terms of hair masques. I often use salon quality so this is a nice accessible price point.
I have been using this mask in the shower and keeping it in for about 5 minutes while I shave and wash. It has been making my hair silkier and easier to manage. It doesn’t get as tangly during the day!
I got the chance to try the Joico Day Damage Protective Masque thanks to Chickadvisor! This masque coated my hair without having to use a lot like a lot of masques out there. It also seemed to be effective after only 1 use! The packaging is sleek and beautiful as well.
