Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm Review

I received this product as a gift from a beautiful friend of mine, and clearly she knows me well as this product is spot on perfection. This product is applied to damp hair after shampooing, left on for 5-10 minutes before being rinsed out. It is designed for dry, damaged or unmanageable hair - and I have all three!

What sets this product apart from other hair treatments is its packaging and consistency. Most treatments are in large tubs, where the lid must be screwed off before a runny liquid is scooped out and placed onto the hair in an attempt to not let it all run down the drain. The Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm is in a tube which is far more manageable in the shower, and the product is a thick balm. This formula spread easily over the hair, with only a small amount needed, and it remains on the hair, not sliding off and slipping down the drain. It stays in place for 5-10 minutes, working its magic before being rinsed out.

The result is salon smelling, smooth hair. Once my hair is blow dried, (and particularly after it is straightened) it appears much more softer, smoother and healthier looking than when I don't use the treatment. It is more manageable to brush and style and the beautiful salon smell lingers. The results last until the next wash and it doesn't make my hair oily or limp. Although this hasn't repaired my hair, it has given the illusion that it has. Considering how little product is needed, how long the tube will last and how similar the results are to a salon, I consider the Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment balm value for money. I wouldn't describe this product as a miracle, but I will be repurchasing.

I had such brittle damaged blonde hair and I was using this treatment balm as a conditioner. It was so good. My hair absorbed it well and it didn't leave any residue behind. Brilliant! My hair didn't even go greasy the next day which happens a lot with other treatments.

To be fair, the entire Moisture Recovery range from Joico is really good and I use it all the time. When the shops open I will be back in to get more of my treatment balm!

So lately my ends of my hair have become dry and frail as i have an addiction to my new GHD. Coincidentally i received this product among other Joico products as a gift and it couldn't of been better timing.

The instructions say to use the product about 2-3 times a week instead of conditioner which i have done. The past week i used it 3 times and i was very impressive. It looks and feels like conditoner, however, its a little thicker. It also smells nice! Goes on nice and isn't a pain to wash out. After my shower my hair wasn't to knotty which was a plus and once my hair had dried the ends very smoother than they usually are.

So i've now used this 3 times and i can truely see a difference in my ends but also in my hair. It's smooth, not staticy or frizzy and is beginning to feel nice again (my ends that is).

I would definetly recommend if your struggling with bad ends, dry or frizzy hair or just want to give your hair a good pamper!

Recently I got my hair done at my regular hair salon, I was determined to figure out exactly what they used to get my hair so soft. I had been told previously it was just the Joico conditioner but as I watched I saw my hairdresser reach for a 2nd conditioner... Turns out its this product. So after some online researching I brought a bottle to try at home.

After shampooing I apply this to my damp hair, I use a wide tooth comb and come it thru. I let it sit for 5 minutes (I'll give myself a head massage and shave my legs to kill time) then I rinse away. I immediately feel a huge difference in my hair. And once dry it feels so soft and healthy. I can't stop touching it! I only wash my hair every 3-4 days so use this every 2nd to 3rd wash but my goodness, I would use it every wash and am considering it!

My hair is noticeably softer, smoother and easier to manage. My hair texture for reference is long thick-ish, lightened ends (so slightly damaged) and prone to dryness and a little frizz.

It smells pretty good and 250ml goes a long way so is pretty affordable really.

I haven't felt my hair is any heavier or greasier from using this which is great, this tells me it's not too heavy for my hair.

Overall I love this product and will be repurchasing!

This product came in a gift set with my shampoo and conditioner. I was really excited to try this as I get my hair coloured regularly and when I purple shampoo I never feel a conditioner is enough to restore moisture.

This one is fantastic. I use it after purple shampoo to give it moisture, my hair feels so soft after use. I find this product makes my hair noticeably softer and more manageable. It helps reduce my frizz and keep my hair in great condition.

I brought this treatment off a recommendation from a friend after having my hair bleached platinum blonde. Before I used it my hair was so dry and brittle. After one use, my hair felt so much softer and smoother, like it had taken in all the moisture! This treatment is a holy grail for me and I will continue to repurchase forever as it does wonders to my hair and leaves it soft, silky and so much easier to brush and straighten!

I bought a Joico pack from my hairdresser, which included a shampoo, conditioner, treatment balm, mini hair spray, and hair oil. I was having some issues with my hair being a little bit dry from a combination of colour treatments, blowdrying and straightening. I was using the shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks with great results, but still felt that my hair was dry after blowdrying. When I remembered that the moisture treatment came with the pack, I decided to give it a go. My hairdresser hadn't really told me much about it, so I wasn't sure whether it would really make a difference for my hair. I was so pleasantly surprised! After only one use my hair was so smooth and silky and it felt so healthy. I couldn't believe it! I used this treatment balm instead of conditioner for the next few washes and now I use it if I am ever feeling that my hair is gong dry or frizzy. Joico is amazing and the whole range smells so good. My fiancé even commented on how good my hair smelt after using it! this product is basically the consistency of a conditioner and is used in the same manner. I think you can leave it in if you want, but I washed it out and had amazing results. I definitely recommend this product (and the Joico range), to everyone!

Ahhh my hair is such a pain and I have dry ends. but I love using this product. I have the shampoo and conditioner also and I put this in after I shampoo and condition. Leave it in for around 10 minutes and it leaves my hair feeling so soft, smooth and hydrated!! once I straighten it after using this product I find my hair isn't as frizzy and sits really nice. deffo a must try

I received this as a gift last week so I thought I would put this to the test. I have heard of the brand Joico before but I have never dreamed that I would get an opportunity to try any of the products. I have been on the hunt for any treatment, oils etc that would make my hair better. The condition of my hair has deteriorated in the winter months. I got to the point that I could not brush it at all. I tried this after my Shampoo and Conditioner. I left it in for 5 minutes and then washed it out and I was stunned. My hair felt super hydrated and it just felt like brand new hair!

I am able to brush through my hair now and it feels silky and smooth. But the main thing it feels healthy! I will be repurchasing this again!

I have a 50ml travel sized tube of this. The texture of this like the name suggests is a balm but when you smooth this on your lengths it dissolves to a cream conditioner. The scent of this is a fresh floral sort of scent. I have really long hair so while my scalp is oily the ends are dry. This is a really handy hair treatment that I can use in the shower. I like to use this whenever I need to wash my hair but it's a bit dry at the ends. I did have my concerns since this is recommended for thick/coarse dry hair and my hair is fine and but it hasn't left my hair limp since it all rinses out pretty well. I don't think it's increased the shine in my hair though. I do think a full-sized tube is pretty good for the price since the product is thick I don't use as much as I would with other deep conditioning treatments. I do have quite a few uses left in my small tube but I would consider purchasing a full-sized tube when I run out.
