I'd first heard about the Joico brand hair products in a Juicystar07 (youtube beauty guru) video about a year back. After hearing her rave about how amazing the shampoo and conditioner are I looked into buying it only to find out...it's stinking expensive! Then and even now I've never been that picky about the hair products I use. The shampoo I use is usually what ever I pick up at my Target that smells yummy! It wasn't til very recently I noticed my hair looking kind of dry, dull and over all damaged. Which doesn't come as a surprise since I went through a phase where I died my hair constantly. In order to fix my hair before it got worse I needed a miracle product and at last gave into the hype and bought the Joico K-Pack Recontructor shampoo and conditioner.I'd have to say the only thing I did not like about these products was the price! I bought a 10.1 oz bottle at Ulta for $13.50 which doesn't seem like a lot but when you do the math that price really adds up! I wash my hair every other day and I use about a quarter size amount of both the shampoo and conditioner. You'd be surprised how fast I run out of hair products! It is definitely a hard product to keep up with if you continue to use it but in all honestly? I think it's worth it.
My first impression of the shampoo was that it had a very nice light floral scent. I dislike shampoos with strong fruity scents because I feel like the smell over powers or can clash with my perfume. Another thing I noticed was a little goes a long way! Just a quarter sized amount lathers really well and yet doesn't foam like crazy. Over all the shampoo did just what I wanted: removed the oil from my hair, left my hair feeling softer and gave me a very fresh and clean feeling unlike any other shampoo I've ever used.The conditioner I was a little more concerned about. It was very light and not as thick as most repair treatments I've used. Since I was looking for a miracle product I was very skeptical that it would be moisturizing enough to repair my dry hair. Much to my surprise I saw instant results! Even as I washed the conditioner out of my hair I noticed my hair was super soft and tangle free. Once dried my hair appeared shiny and more healthy looking! I was very impressed! I can see this product (as well as the shampoo) being a favorite for a very long time if not for life.
Over all I had and am having a great experience with these products and look forward to trying/reviewing other products from the Joico line! I would recommend the K-Pak reconstruct to anyone with dry or damaged hair that wants clean and healthy looking hair without that weighed down feeling and annoyingly messy thick products.
