Today while I was helping my mum shop for a dress for a wedding, we had a look in one of my favourite favourite stores, The Face Shop.

So we picked up actually quite a few things, I'll show a haul later! But looking in the hair section I saw a very interesting product..

The left half of the packaging contains the shower cap ("containing essence"), and the right top part is the essence, and the lower part is the treatment. It instructs you to firmly push the treatment section up into the essence section, so you ran rip off the top part and put it on your head as a mixture. Well. I don't really know what to say. The essence is very, very tacky and sticky, when I put it on towel-dried hair it felt like it was literally drying up, but I just tried to trust it would have 'jewel like shine' when I washed it out. Pushing the treatment section upwards doesn't mix it at all with the essence, so you have to apply both separately, the treatment feels more like a regular hair repair treatment, thick, plentiful and creamy. 

I left it on for 15 minutes just like the instruction said, when my hair dried it appeared normal, but running my fingers through my hair... it would get trapped at my roots, it felt so dry, powdery and just awful, after about my 5th pump of Moroccanoil not having any effect I washed the whole thing out and put my trusty L'Oreal EverPure treatment on instead. Hopefully my hair will recover by the morning!

I do love The Face Shop but this one was a real miss for me, thank goodness it's only a one use product!

The Face Shop Jewel Therapy Self Steam Hair Pack is available at any Face Shop store and retails for $9, just don't buy it.
