Carol's Daughter Almond Milk (ultra-nourishing hair mask) Review

Welcome to Not About the Jherli, a blog that covers beauty products, writing techniques, and self-care in general. 

Today I'm reviewing a new product- Carol's Daughter Almond Milk Ultra-Nourishing Hair Mask. This is the first hair mask I've used in a while, and it is my first time using Carol's Daughter products other than the Black Vanilla Moisture and Shine Pure Hair Oil which I did not like. 

My hair is relatively healthy aside from my deep-conditioning neglect. I have never chemically straightened my hair. I might blow-dry or flat iron it every 2-3 months. 

However.

I did color treat it for the first time 5 months ago and I've been concerned about hydrating it and repairing any damage ever since. 

So. Here is the product: 

I used a Softhood dryer attachment (also for the first time) to help the mask be more effective. I've been old that this opens the follicle and helps the product penetrate your hair. I did feel more tingling after doing this for about 8-10 minutes. 

This hair mask suds up a lot more than I've seen in a conditioner but it was nice to know I'd thoroughly coated my hair. I may have used too much of the product since I'm used to a deep conditioner not really spreading through my hair easily, so knowing a little goes a long way was nice. 

There wasn't a lot of slip in the product so when I used my Denman brush to distribute it, I felt that it took a little longer than usual. 

When I rinsed my hair I initially felt like there hadn't been much of a change. My hair still felt dry and a little on the coarse side. I conditioned my hair with Frizz-Ease Repair conditioner and once I rinsed that out I immediately felt that my hair was much softer and felt more nourished than when I just shampoo it. 

The scent is very almond-sweet but light, which is nice, and it lingers after you've rinsed. 

I will definitely use this product again, but I'm not extremely thrilled with the results. It is noticeably nourishing, but not as dramatic an improvement as I would like considering the price of the product and the amount of time I left it in- about 30 mins total.


Carol's Daughter Almond Milk Ultra-Nourishing Hair Mask retails at about $12.00 for 12 oz (or $11.90 at most stores.) I bought mine at Target.
