Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor Review

This was recommended to me by my hairdresser who suggested I use it once a week in combination with the daily care balancing shampoo and conditioner which is I already use. I only leave it on for five minutes and you don't need very much because it's quite thick. I apply it to the ends and run my fingers through it to get an even distribution. It makes my hair ends much softer and putsthe protein back into it making it softer and shinier.

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.

I have very dry, damaged hair, especially the ends of my hair. My hair is also quite long and thick. I bought this product as I needed to add moisture back into my hair and bring it back from the terrible dry state. I have found that this treatment has added moisture back into my hair and it feels much softer and more manageable. My hair still feels dry, but it definitely feels softer and less dry. I have been using this product twice a week for about a month now. However, I feel like if I continue to use it it will improve the condition of my hair and restore the moisture back into it making it the silky smooth texture I want.

The consistency of this product is similar to a conditioner. I expected it to be quite thick as it is a treatment but it was thinner than I expected. I use this treatment in place of conditioner, in the ends of my hair from my ears downwards. I like to squeeze the water out of my air before apply it, then leave it in for a few minutes to soak in while I soap.

The texture is creamy and the colour is a pale yellow. It has a coconut scent to it which brings a tropical smell. Be careful not to get water inside the bottle because it cause the product to split and separate. I always shake the bottle before using as well because if the product is left sitting I find it becomes runny and lumpy in places.

My hairdresser sells this product, but I have also purchased it from shampoo n things. The bottle is a simple upside down trapezium like shaped bottle. The gold colour makes it look very indulgent and luxurious. Because the bottle sits upside down it makes it easier to squeeze it out.

Overall, I really like this product and will continue to use it as it has improved the state of my hair. Although it is expensive, I think it is worth it for the results you receive.

I picked up this from the CS Factory sale that I went to a few months ago . I’ve always wanted to try Joico . I finally found my opportunity.

Packaging is bright in this gold tube . Consistency is creamy with a musk scent not that strong. I like to use this after I’ve washed my hair fair a deep treatment. Yes it did make my hair feel good short term. Once I stopped hair went back to normal.

Overall I thought this worked well . It’s priced at the right rate . I can see myself buying this gain.

Sooo I had to get this the other day. My hair dresser recommended it as they have stopped selling my favourite conditioner :(

Anyway, it is pretty good. It definitely makes your hair very soft and in much better condition. Although it is quite hard for me to tell because my hair isn't extremely damaged anymore.

Its very strong. So you only need to use a little bit, she said as much as a ten cent piece. I never really pay attention to them when they say that but it really is all that you need. It is very thick, another review said that they put a little bit of water with it to make it runnier which I think I will do next time I use it. Just to make it distribute a bit easier.

The thing with this is I absolutely hate the smell!! I see other reviewers have said it smells nice like bananas, but I think it smells like rotten bananas mixed with chemicals! Maybe I am being a bit oversensitive but I hate the smell!

Its also reasonably cheap considering what it does to your hair which is a bonus.

I have treated blonde hair, so my hair is in quite a dry damaged condition. I received a 50ml size of this, so I had about 3 uses out of this tube. I really found my hair was noticeable softer and less frizzy after use. I used them a week apart as it is a conditioning treatment. My only gripe was the smell. It has a strong chemically banana smell that I found hard to get used to. My hair didn't smell like rotten bananas afterwards, thank goodness!

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.

I love hair care products especially masks and treatments, my hair needs all the moisture and treatment it can get. I get a full head of blonde foils every 5-6 weeks, that and working in the elements is harsh on my hair so I try and look after it.

I bought this because I had heard so many people raving about it so thought I had better give it a whirl. It comes in a 150ml gold tube that sits on its lid, it is easy to squeeze out and looks pretty.

The consistency of this product is very weird, it almost like chunky cottage cheese or curdled milk and when I squeeze it out I think ewww really am I sticking this in my hair? It has a strange scent too. In some ways it smells like almond icing off a Christmas cake, like marzipan. It’s really the weirdest smelling hair product I have bought.

I apply it to freshly washed towel dried hair, run it through the lengths and let it sit for 5 minutes. When I wash it out my hair feels smooth and nourished and once fully dried my hair is so manageable and soft. However it does still have the manky scent through it. (pass the serum!)

Overall this is a nice product however the consistency and scent really put me off so I really don’t think I would repurchase it again in a hurry.
