(More customer reviews)Ok, so I purchased this product based on an article in the Nov '09 issue of Vogue. The reviewer raved about this product stating that for the first time, she didn't feel the color in her hair and that it felt like girls hair. Well, I'm in my mid-40's and would be happy if I could just find something that would make my hair NOT feel like over-processed old-ladies' hair!!
So, I gave this product a shot. The Vogue article was incredibly persuasive. I purchased both the Katira Masque and the Philip B Peppermint and Avacado Shampoo. I shampooed, then applied the masque to my towel dried hair. I then left it on until it was dry and "crispy".
Once I rinsed it out, my hair was impossible to comb out. Note that I didn't apply conditioner and none was noted in the Vogue article. Incredible amounts of my hair broke out while trying to comb through it. After it was dry, it looked frizzy and was hardly soft or like girl's hair.
However, once I took my flat iron to it, I will note that it looked shinier and smoother than normal. But, I was disappointed that I did not achieve "girl's hair" status or anywhere close to it. I decided to purchase the $110 Russian Imperial Amber shampoo that was mentioned in the article, figuring that this contributed to the writer's soft hair.
While waiting for the Amber shampoo to arrive, I used the Katira Masque again, but I used an Ojon conditioner first. HUGE improvement!! My hair was definitely softer than normal, and shinier. I would say it was worth the 50 or so bucks provided you use a good conditioner (I LOVE Ojon shampoos and conditioners)!
The Amber shampoo arrived and I am torn as to whether or not I like it. My hair is thick, so I need more of a "smoothing" shampoo. The Amber shampoo is really great, but it "poofs" out my hair. This product would be great for people with thin or fine hair.
I hope this helps. I have never taken the time to write a review before, but I thought this was an important one! :-)
