As I’m sure most of you either know or can imagine, my hair is not in the best shape. Since starting University in 2013, my hair dresser appointments have become more than a little sporadic. The benefit of this is that my hair has grown about a foot, the downside is of course the split ends. Adding to that, over the past year I have gone from natural looking highlights to all over bleach and silver hair dye every 6-8 weeks. Ouch. In other words, it isn’t a surprise when I find my hair snapping and falling off in my lap – the price of beauty is steep! When I was contacted by Brooke at AJC consultants about the JOICO K-Pak hair treatment range, I jumped at the opportunity to try it out.
Packaging
This product is so on point with the latest home decor trends.When I opened up my package I was so happy to see gold products glowing back up at me.
The shampoo and conditioner bottles look exactly the same, which is pretty annoying because I keep picking up the wrong bottle in the shower. That’s probably partially down to my own stupidity and not reading bottles properly but still… I do much prefer it when the difference between shampoo and conditioner is clear.
On the plus side the shampoo and conditioner bottles stand up perfectly, which I rate very highly. Nothing annoys me more than hair products which slip and slide around the tub at their own will.
The intense hydrator (I especially love this product because it sounds like the terminator haha) which Brooke kindly threw in as an extra is differently designed thankfully, so I was able to tell this apart from the rest.
The smell
One of the things I love most about the JOICO K-Pak hair treatments is the amazing smell. They haven’t overly perfumed their products like many companies do. It’s hard for me to even describe it. They just smell so fresh and clean… Almost healthy? When I first squeezed the shampoo into my hand, I even went as far as to put a second helping into my hair. I just can’t get enough of it.
I have this really bad habit of grabbing my hair and putting it up to my nose when I’m in need of comfort. I’m definitely doing this even more now; the smell lasts for days.
The most important question – does it work?
I have now been using the JOICO K-Pak hair treatments for just over a week and I shower every other day. Since then I have bleached and dyed my hair, which usually tears it apart. Honestly, after applying the bleach it immediately goes to straw. & then I end up looking like Mr Scarecrow. It’s not a pretty sight. When I got into the shower I washed out the bleach and I used the JOICO K-Pak hair treatment shampoo, and I immediately felt a little bit human again.
I then went on to use the conditioner as usual before applying the intense hydrator. I left it on whilst I washed my body, scrubbed my face and shaved. & WOW. My hair has never felt in better condition, ignoring the bleach and the dye!
Will I continue to use it?
I usually use whatever shampoo is rolling around the house, but I’m a little pickier about my conditioner. I’ve used TRESemme moisturising conditioner for months now, and I’ve found that it works wonders. I will probably continue to use the TRESemme conditioner when it’s on offer as it’s what I’m used to and it’s always worked for me.
Having said that, the JOICO K-Pak hair treatment shampoo and the intense hydrator have impressed me so much, I’ll definitely be treating myself to it once again. They’re amazing.
Where to buy the JOICO K-Pak hair treatment for damaged hair range
As per Brooke’s information, JOICO are a pretty big deal in the US, but nobody wants to pay their customs charges shudder unless they absolutely have to.
So for my non-US readers I have done some digging around the web for the best deals.
