Lana Brasiles | Forest Tanino Repair Mask | Immediate Repair Of Damaged Hair | (200 gr / 7.05 oz.)

My hair: damaged, coarse and bleached. Since I moved to my new home last year, I noticed my hair was feeling harder and looking darker after just one or 2 washes after redoing my hair. I realized my water was the problem so I installed a new filter for my shower head. But my hair was too damaged so I decided to go red and give bleaching my hair a break. But we had to bleach the top, which had been a shadow root to even the entire red color all over my head. But wow that last time of bleaching left my hair soooo damaged and brittle. I’ve never experienced so much breakage. I had been using Olaplex for a few years so my hair was healthy before moving to my new home. So that’s the hair I started with before using this product—hard, brittle, breaking off easily, stiff and rough to the touch and extremely porous. In other words—terrible! I tried this masque after my shower and left it on for 10 minutes. My hair feels softer for sure! I can’t say that it instantly healed the damage, but I’m going to continue using this. I love that it’s thick and rich because my hair absolutely takes well to this type of hair masque. I will update after continued use if I see significant changes to the damage in my hair. I am hoping this we’ll do the trick and help me feel confident about my hair once again!

I am a little disappointed with this hair mask. I honestly couldn't see the "immediate repair" on my hair. I also do not like the way my hair ended up after the shower. Disclaimer: I tried this product alone, not combined with the corresponding shampoo/conditioner from same brand (these products are not very budget friendly to me). But I did applied the product as directed and waited for 10 minutes before rinsing. After that, my hair feels hard, like heavy, not pleasant at all. I also noticed a difference in the aspect of the product. It doesn't look like the cream in the picture. This is a more like a light brown colored paste. Not easy to apply evenly without putting too much. After drying my hair, this morning I see barely any shine, nothing really noticeable that makes a difference in my hair, compared to how it was before.
