So this is my review of the Brazil Nut Moisture Mask by The Body Shop, which I said I would review in my first post. I know that I'm doing two hair masks in a row, which I don't like doing because I'm kind of OCD. But I did say that I would review this next and I don't want to contradict myself and have to go back and change the post.
Anyways, I purchased my mask from Marshalls for $5 so it was relatively inexpensive given the price and volume of the product. Unfortunately, this product was discontinued a little while ago so even places like Marshalls and TJMaxx might not carry it.
I'm not sure what exactly this mask smells like...it doesn't smell good but it doesn't smell bad. It smells vaguely nutty to me. The scent is very strong in the pot and does linger in your hair which is good if you like the smell, but I'm not too big on the smell myself and I'd rather my hair smell like something else. The smell is relatively hard to mask with other products.
This mask is very thick and creamy - you really have to be careful with this product. You can only put a little bit in your hair or else you'll end up with greasy hair and that's not attractive. The first time I used it, I really coated my hair with it, not knowing how greasy it would make my hair. I had to rewash my hair with a bit of shampoo. So, if you are able to find this product and have hair about halfway down your back, what I do is put my fingers (excluding my thumb) relatively flat on top of the mask and swirl my hand three times on the surface of the mask (don't dig your fingers in) and use that to coat the hair from my bottom of my neck down. After that, I put my other hand in and swirl it once and then touch up spots that I missed and take a comb and brush through my hair to distribute the product. Your hair will feel like there's nothing in it, but that's plenty of product. I disregard the directions and wait about half an hour and then rinse the mask out. It leaves your hair really soft. Overall, I would recommend this product because it works well and is pretty cheap (if you can find it). I'd give it 4/5 stars because it does tend to leave your hair greasy if you use even a little too much and the smell isn't that great.
All in all, this review was rather pointless as the product can't be obtained for the most part. My apologies. I'll follow up with a (hopefully useful) review of something that's not a hair product. Then, I'll review another mask by The Body Shop just so I can get them out of the way while not too many people are reading this. After that, I'm going to try to review a protein mask (which is different from a regular moisture mask).
