Amazing

This product is quite thick, which is what I like when using a hair mask/treatment. Despite the thick consistency the product itself goes a long way. The tub is a reasonable size and easy to use with the screw top lid. So I can imagine the product would last a while, depending on the frequency of use. Bonus it doesn't take up to much room in the shower either! This product definitely smells like coconut but isn't over powering. The coconut fragrance does linger in your hair which is nice. I would recommend this to a friend as it is easy to get hold off (supermarket, pharmacy, Farmers etc), reasonably priced and a decent size.

Tips: I found the best way was to use it after shampooing and rinsing it out - it left my hair feeling nourished and shiny.

Great to nourish dry hair

I'm hair mask obsessed. With colouring and styling - hair masks are my 'must have'.

This Mask was a win for me in the regime, particularly used as a deep conditioning treatment in shower & also as a leave-in treatment.

I used it a few ways, some worked better than others. I still ponder the packaging statement ‘1001 uses'.

You get a really big tub of hair mask, which is fantastic, and the lid is an easy open/shut for use in the shower! No water gets in! The coconut scent is divine. Definitely stronger in scent than the shampoo/conditioner.

I used this a few, but not 1001 ways. I used it a few times as an Overnight mask. This is really lovely when you put it on, and comb it through. A beautiful scent, and quite relaxing. It then begins to dry and becomes a little crunchy but then you fall asleep and forget. By morning, you have a pretty crazy hair style happening if you haven’t tied it up – or can’t tie it up, like me! Rinsing it out you question whether you should shampoo as it feels like beautifully conditioned hair. If you have fine hair, I don’t recommend skipping shampooing – I did this the first time, and had quite oily hair that day. So definitely shampoo and condition like normal (as they recommend). I found my hair definitely felt like I’d added a boost of nourishment and had a little extra smoothness happening. I was happy – the frizz was less frizzy and the dry ends seemed more cooperative with styling! I also tried this as a Leave-In conditioner, which I really liked! I was cautious with this because having fine hair, and adding 'conditioner' to leave in aren't usually too compatible, but this mask surprisingly worked really well. I only needed to put the teeny tiniest amount of mask through towel dried hair but it did add a little extra nourishment and softness which I liked. I could skip the hair oil if I used the mask as a leave-in. The mask and hair oil together were a bit much for my fine hair.

My favourite use for this mask was just as an extra conditioning treatment in the shower in the mornings. I’d towel dry my hair, leave it in for 5 minutes and rinse, and my hair felt amazing.

Finally, because the instructions said it was an option, I used it as a finishing balm after I’d styled. For this, you definitely need only a smudge of product, rubbed through hands first. Definitely tamed the frizz and settled the fly-aways, with a boost of shine, but with my fine hair it tended to look overly oily shiny! Not the winner of the 1001 uses. Ranking the uses of this mask - favourite to least, it would go #1 In shower conditioning treatment #2 Leave-in conditioner #3 Overnight hair mask #4 Finishing Balm (wouldn't recommend for fine hair!)

Love this mask for my dry fine hair. It definitely returns my locks to a healthier softer zone. A little extra healthy shine - but I'd like more, but that is the challenge of dry hair! I'd purchase this again - when it finally runs out. Great bang for buck!

Tips: If you have the time, this is fabulous applied on towel dried hair, and then pop a shower cap on, and leave it on a good hour!

Thick and creamy hair mask

This mask has a fabulous fragrance which is thick and creamy and leaves my hair feeling soft and light. I used it overnight in my dry hair and rinsed it out in the morning. I would definitely buy and use this as my hair is coloured and it certainly helps nourish it

Tips: I wasn't sure how much I was meant to use as it doesn't say on the directions but I used a generous sized "dollop"

Just another mask, but it smells sooo good!

This mask had a great consistency and was easy to scoop out from the tub. Although the packaging said 1001 uses, I could only think of 2. A mask, or an alternative to the Extraordinary Oil Conditioner. It does make it seem like a miracle product, but to me, it was just another treatment. I alternated with the Mask and Conditioner after shampooing and I didn't notice any difference between the 2. Same conditioning effect, just a little more time consuming with the mask. The packaging recommended leaving it on for 2-3 minutes while showering (or overnight) so it wasn't super convenient if you were short on time and still needed to style your hair afterwards. The mask itself is quite thick and didn't feel at all oily. Although unless your hair is really dry, I wouldn't use it as an overnight mask. My hair felt more oily than conditioned when I left it in for too long. I found that I got the best results from leaving it in for 30 minutes then rinsing it out. My hair definitely felt soft and smooth, but I'm not sure if it's quite worth the extra time and effort. But perfect for a home spa day.

Versatile and fast-acting

The Loreal extraordinary 1001 uses hair mask was just what my hair needed for some deep conditioning.

The hair mask comes in a 300mL plastic tub with a screw off lid. The packaging is attractive and alluring with a 'fresh' design. I find hair masks that come in tubs like this with a screw off lid can be awkward and difficult when using in the shower with slippery hands, but perfectly fine if applying prior to a shower.

The consistency of the hair mask is very thick, creamy, and holds its form. It's like a luxurious body moisturiser but for your hair. The fragrance is delicious and smells like a combination of coconut and sweets.

Application of the hair mask relies on unscrewing the lid, and scooping out required amount with hands, being careful half of it does not go down the drain of the shower. Like I said above, the application can be more difficult in the shower, but the benefit of the extraordinary 1001 uses hair mask is you can use it so many ways, including application prior to getting in the shower.

Once opened, the packaging claims the mask will last for 12 months, this is a very reasonable amount of time as using the mask about once weekly would last about 2-3 months.

My hair can be very knotty, frizzy and sometimes quite dry. The hair mask is recommended for normal to dry hair. Mostly, I applied the mask onto my dry hair 5 mins prior to having a shower and rinsed out. I did this using the mask entirely on its own and also prior to washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner. Even when I used the hair mask solely on its own, my hair felt like it had been fully washed. This product works wonders for having knot-free hair!! After application, my hair felt soft, knot-free and nourished. The claim on the packaging states 'incredibly soft, shiny, and free-flowing hair.' I agree with soft and free-flowing 100% but less so on the shiny aspect, namely because my hair is curly is hard to tell if it changed shine.

Personally, I would only use the mask about once per week for my current hair condition. At $11.99 per 300mL pot and only applying about once per week, the mask should last 2-3 months which is about $1 - 1.50 per use. Compared to other hair masks, I would say this is about the middle of the price market. The aspect that makes this hair mask better than others is how versatile it is as it can be used onto dry hair prior to a shower, a quick leave in mask whilst in the shower, a leave-in whilst styling hair or a leave-in overnight for very deep treatment.

Overall I am really happy with how the hair mask made my hair feel. I will definitely be including this in my hair care regime moving forward.

Would I recommend this? Absolutely, especially if you have hair like me: thick, curly, and a tendency to be dry and/or knotty.

Tips: Application outside of shower is easiest! If you are short of time I found the hair mask is an 'all in one' and you can use it in place of shampoo and conditioner!

Amazing Mask

I was excited to see this mask with the matching shampoo and conditioner in my trial. I love hair masks and my favourite all-time mask is the L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil Hair Masque, so I anticipated this one would also be fabulous.

The packaging is nice - a white pot with a brown lid, which is easy to unscrew to access the thick white product. I’d be just as happy with a bottle though, so I don’t have to dig into the container to get the product out. The scent is the same as the shampoo and conditioner - coconutty and gorgeous.

It claims to be deeply nourishing with no weigh down for incredibly soft and free flowing hair. Interesting it has directions for a pre-shampoo, including as an overnight mask for deep nutrition. And it also has the directions for after shampooing, and also as a leave-in conditioner. That’s a lot of great uses for one hair mask. I apply it after shampooing and conditioning then let it sit in my hair for 10 minutes or so to let it do its work. I only use a small amount each time and massage it in to get an even coverage through my hair. I haven’t tried it as an overnight mask yet, but I will. Nor have I tried to leave it in – I’ll do that when I don’t have work the next day just in case it leaves my hair greasy.

My hair feels great after using it, very soft and hydrated. As the product claims, my hair feels weightless, but it still manages not to be frizzy – which is usually an issue for my fine hair.

I love it, but I think the original is slightly better! I note it is $11.19, and you can’t say fairer than that for a great and very versatile mask.

Tips: Use with the matching shampoo and conditioner. I'll add some comments about using it as an overnight, or leave-in conditioner after I've tried using it those ways.

Hair mask for those without time to waste!

I love hair masks but I never use them because they often require you to use them for 20-30 minutes or even leave them in overnight. No thanks! This hair mask can be used a variety of ways, from 5 minutes before you hop in the shower to during the shower after shampooing. The pot is so big so I didn't hold back and covered every inch of my hair from the ends to the tips and left it on for 5 minutes before I took a shower. I thought I might not experience the full benefits because I didn't leave it in too long but my hair is so unbelievably silky. My flyways usually leave me looking like a baby orangutan or like I've just been electrocuted - it's probably my least favourite thing about my hair - but after using this range my hair was A LOT softer and far less frizzy.

Tips: If you don't have time to sit around in a hair mask for 30+ minutes or leave it overnight, or you're just lazy like me, put it in your hair, put on a face mask (like a 2 in 1 cleanser and face mask that you only need on your face for a few minutes such us the Dr Jart clay masks), brush your teeth then hop in the shower to rinse it all out! 5 minute beauty routine.

Not impressed

This mask claims to be a “Deep nutrition with no weigh down” which I do not agree with. I have quite dry hair, (this mask is made for normal to dry hair) and I do not agree with this statement. While it didn’t weigh my hair down, it didn’t Norish my hair at all. My hair felt soft while it was on, but after it rinsed off, my hair didn’t feel soft, it kinda felt like straw. I wouldn’t use this again.

To mask or not to mask

I liked the feeling of this product on my hair ,felt cooling and soothing . I combed mine through and left it on for an hour or so . To be honest when not using the products in between washes ,my hair still feels quite dry ,so I’m not convinced these are working 100 per cent . However the day I use them ,my hair looks better ,feels better and is soft and bouncy ,just lacking in body ,I usually use body shampoos etc so did notice a slight difference,seems hard to get all you want in one product . I will continue to use the products ,so be interesting to see how nourished my hair looks and feels over more time . For the price one pays these do deliver quite well as promised at least 80 per cent ,so can’t complain . Not sure the mask really makes much difference but worth trying if you want improvement in the condition of your hair . I think I personally would prefer a different fragrance ,more a fruity one perhaps .

Tips: Comb through and leave in for a good hour or even overnight wrapped in some type of head towel if you have one .
