I brought this a few weeks ago from Home Bargains for the small sum of £1.99 and believe it to be quite a regular line product as I have seen it there for a number of months but never picked it up before.It contains up to 4 treatments (according to box) for you to use easily at home to strengthen and repair your hair from the everyday damage it receives. You receive a bottle of hair repair oil which is in pump dispenser form,a tube of strength & repair shampoo,a tub of intensive hair repair masque and a box of 4 clear disposable shower caps.The products are all labelled in order of use and how long to leave them on for.These instructions are repeated also on a separate information leaflet in the box.
First comes the Oil :
I have short hair,but it's thick....very thick ! Therefore I kept piling on the oil to make sure it was evenly distributed through my hair.Seeing as the kit contains up to 4 treatments I still hadn't used a quarter of the bottle which you would expect to.This amount was TOO MUCH ! After I had completed the whole process and dried my hair it still felt greasy as anything.No matter how much I dried it, it still looked and felt wet ! So I had to re-shampoo and dry my hair all over again.So this is a WARNING use this oil very sparingly.Once you have applied a LITTLE amount of oil to your hair you then need to put on one of the shower caps and leave it on for 10 minutes.This is where another of my gripes comes in,the shower caps are not very big.If you had longer hair you would never get it all under.I had a struggle with it and still had a few pieces not in it properly but every time I tried to adjust it more would come out.I would suggest if you had longer hair to use a normal shower cap and wash it out after.It also states that the shower cap will "steam up as the oils work" but I didn't notice any evidence of that.
Next Shampoo:
You have to rinse off the oil and then apply the shampoo and wash as usual.Nothing spectacular about this part,just standard.
Last part the Masque:
Distribute the masque through the hair after you have slightly towel dried it so it's not dripping wet.Leave for 5 minutes and wash out and you are done.Dry your hair however you wish and you should be left with nice soft refreshed hair.....and I was! My hair does indeed feel very soft and fresh so overall I am happy with the results.Yes there are a few niggles with the product and instructions that could be tweaked but for the small price I payed I feel satisfied with the product.Obviously I have only just used it so I can't comment on the long time benefits.But I am sure using this sort of thing on our hair can't do any harm so why not give it a try.Or try one of the others in the range,which is one for straightening your hair and another for giving added shine.
Thank you for reading as always,take care Nat xxx
