Ultimate Color Repair Mask Review
The Ultimate Color Repair Mask is what’s on tap for this Friday’s beauty review of the week. However, sadly, this week’s hair care is not one of my favorites.
TGIF beautiful and welcome to Ask the Pro Stylist’s beauty review of the week. Normally I sing the praises of my Friday favorite. Unfortunately, the Ultimate Color Repair Mask from Paul Mitchell is not on the weekly list of great beauty, nail or hair care.
I was recently given a sample tube of Ultimate Color Repair Mask and very happy to test it out. My hair has highlights over color, therefore in need of additional hydration. After hearing both positive and negative reviews, it was time to test the hair care out.
According to Paul Mitchell the Ultimate Color Repair Mask is “an ultra-rich conditioning mask for color-treated hair. An intense dose of Quinoa Color Repair complex helps lock in hair color and repair strands from within. Shea butter, jojoba and soybean oil leave hair soft, shiny and healthy while vitamins deeply nourish and moisturize.” As an added bonus, “powerful antioxidants help prevent color fade and damage. Leaves hair vibrant and incredibly moisturized.”
After a couple of uses my hair did not feel incredibly moisturized or look vibrant. Instead, it felt stiff and looked dull. The reason is because of the Quinoa.
Quinoa is high in amino acids and protein, which strengthen weak hair. Mine is not. This could make the hair feel stiff for those of us with strong hair that is color treated. We need moisture, but not the addition of protein. I thought the moisturizing agents would equal out the effect, but for me it was the opposite. Therefore, I do not recommend the Ultimate Color Repair Mask for those with medium-thick, strong hair.
