Fortifying Protein Hair Mask and Deep Conditioner with Argan Oil and Macadamia Oil By Arvazallia - Hair Repair Treatment for Damaged , Brittle , or Thinning Hair - Promotes Natural Hair Growth

This product actually does what it says. Instantly, you will feel the difference in your hair moments after you apply the product you will noticeably feel the protein binding to your strands. My fine hair had a good weight to it after the product was applied. I have never used a protein treatment where in, i could actually feel the weight of the protein binding to my strands. INCREDIBLE! After washing the product out of my hair, i noticed an immediate difference in my hair. Instantly, it reduced my shedding by around 90%. I normally use nexus emergency in my hair but decided to give this product a try based on consumer affairs product rating for BEST protein conditioner treatment. It was considered one of their top 5 protein treatment based on their testing. I am so happy i tried this product. I will trade in my $40 nexus emergency protein treatment for this product. I am african american with type four hair and after using this product, my fingers glided through my hair. I hardly had any shed hair. My hair was breaking so much from moisture overload and this product stopped my breakage by 90-95%. This is by far the best protein treatment i have ever used. Normally, i am protein sensitive but with this product, i had no issues of tangling or matting. I hope this review was helpful.

I love this product. I was skeptical but it does leave hair silky and moisturized - I also tried reconstructor from Tigi (purple bottle called Runway something)which smelled STRONG like herbs/mint -- this product doesn't smell !!! It goes on easy and leaves hair very soft and smooth. Very happy with this purchase for dark normal hair.Update July/2018: Now that I bleach my hair blonde , this conditioner can’t do the job anymore. A lot of products that used to work before don’t “cut it” anymore for damaged hair. I gave my heart to Schwarzkopf Bonacure line (because it actually restores) but I still recommend this mask if your hair is normal to damage #1 - but not for #2, and level 3, you will NEED to add serious protein treatments (if you want to have lots of hair, instead of broken hair on the ends). I recommend any repair lines like Aphogee/Bonacure/Redken Chemistry Extreme shot /or any other system like Lebel to this mask (use the Shot first, Mask next, and cuticle sealer last). But this alone won’t help to repair your damages.

My hair was OVERPROCESSED so badly that I thought it was going to all fall out! :) Using moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, I also used this hair mask to repair my hair. I could see a little difference after the first use, but using it every 4 days or so for two weeks, my hair was more smooth, not as frizzy, and felt much softer than it had. I've used it for a few months now and I get complemented on how healthy my hair looks. My hair is naturally very dark brown and it's been lightened to a very light blonde, so it definitely works if I'm getting those kinds of complements!!!

A quick bit of background information. I had VERY smooth fine hair. And a lot of it. It had been slowly (5 sessions) lightened to an almost platinum blonde. I am an ardent Olaplex user and experienced 0 damage. However, when I went to get my roots touched up my hair dresser, whom I had been going to for the passed three years, left me with bleach on my roots for an HOUR. Needless to say my hair was exceptionally dry, textured and broken after that experience. Olaplex step three was not enough to help me and I was in a sheer panic because the damage was at my roots. I went on an ordering spree and even got a 200 dollar “hair Botox” only to continue to have dry hair. Even dumping argon oil on my head did nothing. Today, three weeks out, my hair feels and looks silky and shiny just like my old hair. I used aphogee 2 step treatment and saw a tiny bit of a difference. After using this product once mixed with equal parts olaplex step 3 my hair has pretty much bounced back to how it was pre-bleach session. I CANNOT RECCOMEND THIS ENOUGH.

I have thick, coarse, processed hair.I've gone through 3 olaplex heavy lightening jobs to go from dyed dark brown to platinum balayage. So that's a lot of damage. I'm platinum on the ends now with a balayage up to my natural color. When I started lightening I switched to the hydrating mask (looks the same as this packaging) in place of conditioner. When that ran out I got this one. I'm going to stock both in the shower because they are AWESOME! I squeeze out my hair in the shower and put it on using a wet brush to comb it through. I rinse it out at the end of my shower. My hairstylist told me whatever I'm doing to keep doing it! I'll add pictures with and without flash so you can see the shine. I've never had my bleached blonde look so glossy!!For some reason the images makes the jars look huge, it's only half that size but the oz's it says it is is correct. I was just confused at first.I've read that the silicones make it look like it's restoring your hair but it's really not... I don't know how that works, but it's been MONTHS and my hair is great.. I would say that those comments aren't true. I 've also read the silicones cause build up.. I haven't encountered that. I use a sulfate free shampoo regularly. When my blonde gets brassy I use shimmer lights which has sulfates. That may or may not be why I don't see a build up at all.

I was really looking forward to using this based on the positive reviews. As soon as it arrived I popped in the shower. I followed the directions, but as my hair dried I was surprised to find the texture was straw-like. My hair has some damage, but it usually feels pretty soft. It felt worse after using this product. I usually wash my hair 2 or 3 times a week, but I had to wash my hair the day after using this because despite the dry texture, my hair felt very heavy and started getting greasy.I'm going to use a clarifying shampoo and try this again in a week or so. I will update if my opinion changes.Update January 2018: I’ve been using this for a little bit now and I will increase my rating a little bit. This definitely has strengthened my hair, but it does not soften it all. I get terrific results when I use this once a week with a regular conditioner on the other days.
