If there is one thing that I am, it is a "healthy hair fanatic". I love having healthy hair, and will stop at no cost to get it. No one can ever tell, not even myself, when the mood will hit me to do a hair mask! I absolutely love having a "Hair Mask Day". When it comes to hair masks I must be honest and let you in on a little secret, and that is that I NEVER follow the directions. When I get in the mood for a "Hair Mask Day", I throw one on, and leave it on the entire day. Of course I only do this when I have no place to go! Even though I am a hair mask freak, I would never be caught in public with a hair mask on! So needless to say that today the mood has hit me! I have had an inexpensive/budget friendly hair mask on hand that I have been dying to try for weeks! Now I do have to dedicate this one to my "home girlz" who have "color enhanced hair" like myself, shall we say. I'm very excited to try this mask, and can't wait to see the results!
As you can tell by the picture, this product comes in a small green squeezable tube that contains 7.0 fl.oz. or 207 ml of the product. The product claims "Seals and protects hair through a process using liquefied fruits and flowers" It also states on the packaging that it contains" NO sulfates, parabens, dyes, bluten, phthalates, or propylene glycol". The product goes on to exclaim "How does a rose maintain its vibrant color in the scorching Arizona sun? The answer is ANTHOCYANINS (an-tho-cy-a-nins)! We have selected fruits & flowers high in this protective component and incorporated them into our unique Color Protecting Formulas. Let nature protect the beautiful color of your hair. For color treated and natural hair colors. The directions (which I do not follow) say "Apply to hair and work through to ends. Wait 3-5 minutes then rinse thoroughly. Product can be used on a daily basis." Now one good aspect that I notice about this product right away is that it says clearly on the back "THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS". However it goes on to add "THEY ARE TESTED ON THE REDMONDS". Now I have researched "REDMONDS", and for the life of me I cannot determine what they are referring too. If you know, please leave it in a comment. I purchased this hair mask from CVS for $6.99. After doing a little research, I found that it is only available at "SELECT CVS'S" only. This mask cannot be purchased directly through www.cvs.com, but you can purchase it directly through the companies website at http://store.renpure.com/collections/color-protecting.
My Experience Applying The Mask:
Since I have thicker textured hair, I like to section the hair off when applying masks. I found this mask to be very thick in texture, and to have a very nice clean scent. I do have to say that I do not like the fact that this mask comes in a "squeeze bottle". I found that after applying to one section of hair, I would have to pick up the tube and the existing mask on my hands would find its way all over the tube. So needless to say, by the end of my application the tube was a tacky product mess. This means that clean up takes longer, and that is not something that I enjoy. (This is the reason you see that one star has been deducted from this products overall review.) If this is a product that you were going to use in the shower, I don't think this would be an issue for you. The product seemed to glide through my hair very easily, and I had no problem using a wide toothed comb to evenly distribute it. I must say once again that I find the smell of this product to be very pleasant.
My Experience Removing The Mask:
Due to the fact that this product is very thick in consistency, it is naturally going to take longer to rinse it out of your hair. I really like to make sure that I rinse thoroughly, so that I do not get any product build-up from the masks. I didn't take an incredibly long amount of time to remove the product, but I have had masks that were more easily removed. I did find that with an elongated rinse time, I was able to fully remove this product from my hair with no residue or anything left behind.

My End Results:
After blow drying my hair, and smoothing it with a medium/large round brush I was very pleased with my results. My hair does not feel weighed down. My hair feels very nourished, and my medium golden brunette color has a slightly richer appearance to it. My hair is not flat, or weighed down by the product. My hair has been left with a nice clean scent. I would without a doubt say that this product helped in smoothing down my curly/frizzy hair. I do believe that I have found a new favorite mask to go under my inexpensive/budget friendly category. I do believe that I will use this mask again, and dare say even repurchase it when need be.
