hask hair review + giveaway (#beautybuzz)

It seemed selfish to keep this all to myself so I recruited April from Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Collection. Have you seen her hair? It’s long, thick, beautiful – in a word fabulous!!

What better comparison than for me try the Hask Argan Oil Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner  on my sad, drab hair.

Different hair. Different results. So what did we think??

ALISON – DRAB HAIR:

I never like to get my hopes up, however after a week of using Hask Hair Argan Oil Shampoo/Conditioner along with Keratin Smoothing Shine Oil – I’m in LOVE.

I could tell a difference using the shampoo and conditioner after the first use. The true test comes after multiple uses, especially when oil is involved.  The expectation was that the Argan oil would be too heavy and make my hair look dirty. The results were surprising.

The next test – does it work with my current styling products – root lifter, hair spray and molding creme?

The answer is YES! My hair is styling much easier with more body and no frizzy ends.

I would loved to have shown before and after pics, but that can be a bit tricky and I’m not that crazy about showing my hair as a hot mess. You get it, right?

I’ve been trying really hard to only use products that are free of nasty chemicals.  So when Alison suggested we both test Hask’s new Keratin Protein line, I was all for it!

Here’s what April liked about it:

The Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing shampoo and conditioner are free of sulfates and parabens.  Which, you may have heard, those ingredients have the reputation of being not so good for you.  I avoid them when I can.

Besides for having better ingredients, this shampoo/conditioner duo smells like hints of kiwi and passion fruit – it’s just lovely!

My hair was so, so soft just after trying the products for two washes.  (Something that’s difficult to tell from these pictures!)

I also used the Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner.  It was super thick and made my hair soft as well.  However, even though I only used the conditioner on the ends of my hair, it made my hair look greasy much faster than normal.

I really like the  Argan Oil Healing Shine Treatment . I applied a dime-sized amount to my wet hair before blow drying.  It kept the frizzes away and made my hair look super silky.

Overall I really like these Hask products.  I don’t think I’d use them on a daily basis, but they’d be a great to alternate with my regular hair care routine, especially with the dryness that winter brings!
