WHAT: Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense
WHY: We actually don’t love recommending expensive products because there are so many affordable options and dupes out there, you almost never have to spend an arm and a leg on one, single product.
However.
When we discover magic in a bottle, what, are we NOT going to tell you about it? Of course we are. And even though we like a lot of hair masks like this one and this one, nothing comes even close to the results we got after using Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense.
Is it the iris rhizome extract?
The glucids?
The lipids?
The gluco-active 3 formula?
We’re not “scientists” or “hair scholars” so we legitimately don’t know what those ingredients are, nor will we pretend we do. What we do know is that if you SLEEP in this mask, raked onto damp hair, you will wake up with the softest, silkiest, shiniest, least frizzy hair of your natural life. It’s made with every, single hair type in mind.
And now. We come to the part that shouldn’t matter but somehow matters the most:
The. Scent.
There was an old wives tale that they used the tiniest drop of Chanel No. 5 in the formula, but we can’t find a shred of proof. But once you have inhaled this product’s truly intoxicating scent, you sort of won’t be able to go back. It’s not powdery but it’s very soft, it’s not sweet but it’s verging on floral, it’s not spicy but it dips a toe into musk. As you can tell, it’s almost impossible to describe. You truly have to just take off the lid, slowly, and sniff.
Depending on your hair length/type, one hefty scoop each week will keep your hair in the best shape of its life. And you could easily have the same tub for a full year. Which makes the price for a HAIR MASK a little bit more bearable.
Is $63 really worth it to have hair that feels as if it’s made of spun silk and smells like a soft, jasmine flower tucked behind the ear of a cherub?
In a word? Yes.
PRICE: $63
