Delicious Scent

I purchased this product on sale for $15 at the hairdressers and I was looking for a deep conditioning treatment to fix my brittle, freshly bleached locks. The first thing I noticed was the smell, it smells absolutely amazing and I can only describe it as something close to banana pudding.

The product itself is not as thick as I expected, it is slightly runny and does need a bit of a shake before use.

I left the treatment in for 5 minutes and the end result was great. My hair was a lot softer and easier to brush through with slightly less hair breakage. I ended up using this product as my daily conditioner so it did not last very long, maybe 3 weeks. All in all great product that's worth a try.

Joico K-Pak Deconstructed

I received a luxury sample of this product and was glad that I hadn't paid for a full-sized item, as I was horribly disappointed.  Firstly, I can't stand anything that's artificially banana scented or flavoured (I eat real bananas, but that's where I draw the line) and this product had an artificial banana smell! Ugh, gag!

I squeezed the tube into my palm expecting a conditioner-like cream to come out and instead I got a palm full of clear liquid with "clotted" bits of white cream floating in it.  Eeew, gross!  I managed to get most of it back into the tube and gave the tube a good shake (there was no mention on the packaging that the tube needed to be shaken well before use).  Second attempt and the product came out the tube looking more like conditioner.  A fairly thin, creamy white lotion that I could then apply to my hair.

It did leave my hair looking and feeling very soft, but every time I turned my head, I'd get a whiff of the artificial banana scent.  Not pleasant at all!  Plus, I have very fine, naturally stick straight, oily hair and this product seemed to aggravate it.  My hair looked and felt wonderful for the first few hours after washing it, but then looked rather limp and lifeless by the afternoon.  I can usually get away with washing my hair every second day (if I wash it daily, it just aggravates the oil production), but with this reconstructor, I had no option but to wash it daily.

I only used it three times (once a week over three weeks) and still had half the tube left, which I ended up throwing away as I wouldn't give it to anyone especially since I wasn't sure if the product was supposed to be 'split' with a clear liquid and lumpy white bits, or if the tube I got was faulty or had gone "off".

I would not purchase a tube of this and definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Tips: If it looks lumpy, shake the tube!

Salon vs supermarket

I have heard a lot about Joico and I went to a salon to have my hair cut and coloured the stylist recommended I use the Deep Penetrating Reconstructor Cream to treat my hair as it tends to be on the dry side. The packaging is simple and elegant. The flip lid makes application in the shower easy and the product is easy enough to squeeze out of the tube. It is easy to apply and has a wonderful fragrance. I left the product in for a good five minutes, combed it through and rinsed it off. It did leave my hair feeling much softer (no longer the straw feel after highlights) and it was certainly softer when it dried. It certainly is more expensive than the supermarket products but then I do believe it is more effective on damaged hair. It is not your normal conditioner though - I would describe it more as a hair mask or treatment, and as such - yes it is effective. Would I use it all the time - no it is too expensive as I had to use quite a substantial amount.

Great as apart of the system

I enjoyed using this alongside the Kpak shampoo and conditioner. I love how it smells and felt luxurious to use. It left my hair feeling soft and more manageable (sounds cliche I know, but I don't know how else to describe it!).

Tips: I would use this as a 'deep conditioner' every second time I washed my hair.

Joico K Pak Reconstruct

I have just full head bleached my hair for the second time in 3 years and I was in desperate need for a treatment, my hairdresser recommended this product (shes also a friend so wasn't just trying to make commission). I have noticed a huge difference since using it I have noticed much less hair fall in the shower. It also didn't make my hair feel greasy at the top as I expected it to. I did notice when my hair was dry it felt quite rough and dry but after researching I discovered this is normal when putting protein back in your hair.

Tips: After using for a few weeks add a hydrating treatment or mask. Your hair must have protein to retain moisture so once you have built this back up rehydrating it stops the dry rough feeling.

joico

I'm a big fan of buying salon hair products and joico is a brand I've used many times. I don't have much luck with a lot of products I try but joico deep penetrating reconstructor worked really well and has been one of my all time favs! I have extremely coarse, dry, damaged hair and this always left it a lot softer and smoother then usual. The smell is Devine!! Gorgeous stand out packaging. I think the price is fair considering it seemed to do what it said it would.

Tips: I often tried to leave mine in as long as possible and wore a shower cap over top to keep in heat until ready to wash out. This would maximize the result.

Great with a hot towel

I really liked this when my hair was badly damaged. It worked much better with a hot towel over it for 10 mins and then wash it out rather than just a few minutes in the shower. Also it smelt nice was a really good consistency and not much product was needed. I however got a really dry scalp using Joico products, so not the shampoo for me.

Tips: Massage into Hair and put a hot towel over top for 10 minutes and then wash out

Must Have

Love this product. Have found it to be the one product that helps restore my dull, curly frizz prone hair. It has a amazing scent, and you don't need a lot to actually feel and see the benefits to your hair. I straighten my hair regularly and this product is great for restring it. It leaves my hair feeling smooth and soft with shine. Well worth a try if your hair needs some love.

love this

Years ago my hair was fried. Literally fried. So much breakage. It was dry frizzy and unmanageable. A hairdresser sold me this right after she chopped off all my hair. I am continuously let down by false claims, not this time. My hair definately loved this and is much more healthier now

Tips: I used the complete range of joico, I think that helped me achieve the best results
