Ouidad Curl Recovery Melt-down Extreme Repair Mask $40

 

What they say:

Ouidad's Curl Recovery Melt-down Extreme Repair Mask is a luxurious treatment with their proprietary CR-4 Repair Complex - including nutrient-rich Mafura Butter and Kalahari Melon Seed Oil - that envelopes the hair shaft with a cushion-like coating of concentrated fatty acids vital to rebuilding, nourishing and protecting hair.  

What I say:

First a little background on my hair, it is heavily color treated, and has a natural wave to it. However, with my hair being damaged the wave is more of a crimp and that is why I have to curl or straighten my hair. After using this product twice a week for almost 8 weeks I finally have a review for you.The first few times I used it I honestly didn't notice results. I thought it was going to be instant, and I was a little discouraged. However, after a few uses I noticed that my hair just felt better. It dried a lot faster, and my hair can air dry and the natural curl is actually a curl. The fact that my hair has the natural wave back to it tells me that it is getting the moisture it needs.

I like it a lot more than the Macadamia Deep Repair mask, that product didn't help my hair at all and it was also a little pricey. That would be my only downfall to the product, but if it works I don't care to pay the money. I spend money on drugstore stuff trying to find something that I love when I could have just gotten the more expensive one to start with. 

I will eventually repurchase this product, it will be hard for me to spend the money. It will be a treat for my hair that's for sure. I wanted it to not work or be amazing so I wouldn't have to consider it heheh.

How I use it:

I only apply this to the ends of my hair or a few inches from my roots where the ombre starts. I put enough to cover the hair and use a wide tooth comb, and brush it through. I do everything else I need to do in the shower, sing a little song and rinse it out. The longer I leave it in the better my hair feels and it smells amazing. I have not used it overnight although I have read reviews that it works amazing. I generally just leave it on for 15 minutes and then just rinse out.
