Pretty Head – UK Make Up Reviews

As I have mentioned in probably all of my other reviews about hair care products, I have very dry and brittle hair and so I am always on the lookout for products that will help put a bit of moisture and life back in it. My friend Carly had just become an Avon lady so I was having a look through the book and this caught my eye. Avon claims that this “penetrating conditioner works deep into the hair cuticle to soften, condition and strengthen. Dramatically improves moisture in damaged hair and leaves hair with incredible shine” and so for £4.25 for 150ml I decided to give it a go. Avon recommends that you apply this mask to wet hair after shampooing and leave for 10 minutes, using as often as required.  As you can see the hair mask comes in a white plastic pot with a blue screw on lid and the mask itself is white and thick. The first thing I noticed was the nice, strong smell, which remains on your hair for a few days after, even after washing it. So after shampooing, I applied the conditioning mask all over my hair and left it for 10 minutes as directed. Once it had been rinsed off my hair felt really nice a soft and well moisturised. Once dried my hair seemed softer than usual, however it didn’t have the “incredible shine” that Avon said it would.

I have reasonably long hair and so I didn’t expect the hair mask to last for very long, however I use this once every other week and it took about 3 months for me to run out, so I would say it is pretty good value for money. I would recommend this product for anyone with dry and damaged hair as it really does make it feel nice and look a bit healthier and well moisturised. However I do wonder if you left any conditioner on for 10 minutes whether it would have the same effect, something I might test in the future.

Pros: Moisturises hair well, leaves hair feeling softer and lasts a long time even if you have long hair.

Cons: Does not live up to its claims of giving your hair an “incredible shine”.
