Like the conditioner it made my hair feel really smooth and soft. The difference is with the mask my hair feels nourished for an extended period of time. It was easy to apply and wash off and did not make my scalp feel heavy nor does it make my hair look limp or dull.
Hair masks I do them once a week. This hair mask is nice and thick…. I have balayage so my ends are very very dry so I usually put the hair mask on put a shower cap on or a hot towel watch a movie and then rinse it off.
I like this hair masque hair is definitely less straw like (because doing a balayage of asian black hair to ash blonde is fairly damaging).
I got this product for free but my opinions are my own.
It couldn’t have been a better time to try out Joico Defy Damage Protective Masque thanks to Chick Advisor. I regularly have my hair highlighted which leaves my hair feeling dry every now and again. In the summer months I’m mainly in and out of the pool and this takes an added toll on my hair. This masque really does its job. I have noticed that my hair is less brittle and I’ve had less breakage in just over a week of use. I don’t normally use a hair masque but I highly recommend trying this product.
