Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor Review

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.

I would literally never be without this product. I use it once a week with some of the other kpax products and it's literally transformed my damaged, dyed hair. Firstly it's smells utterly GORGEOUS! kinda bananaish? Like something I want to eat! It's awn odd, lumpy kinda texture (you'll see what I mean if you use it) but it's really easy to smooth through (slightly damp hair- I towl dry it after shamooing so it doesn't dilute the mask). I twist it up into s bun and pop it on top of my head for five minutes. I have left it longer before and I'm sure it's not damaging (correct me if I'm wrong? ), but the bottle says five minutes and it's a protein mask so I'm paranoid. I then apply a hydrating mask and then use the kpax leave in liquid reconstructor followed by the kpax split end mender.My hair is sstronger and so much shinier and healthier. I got the results even before I started using the other two kpax products, but they've improved it even more. I love this mask. You can actually see the difference the next day. It just looks smoother and shinier (and takes on that glorious bananaish smell!). My hair grows much longer without splitting these days and it's much tamer than it used to be. I found it really worth it when I finally invested in some salon products.

I went through a stage where my hair was dry and really worn. I bought this product from a hair salon even though it was a bit dear but boy did it sort my hair out. It smells fantastic and your hair is shiny and full of life. I used it regularly as a conditioner and recommend this to anyone with dry damaged hair. Fantastic product!

I have an abundance of deep conditioning masks in my collection, but I picked up the Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor to strengthen my damaged, blonde hair, rather than coat it in oils. I had heard many people raving about the K-Pak range and it sounded like exactly what my hair needed.

The packaging is simple enough - a plastic gold tube that can sit easily in the shower. This could be cut open to get every last bit of product out. The formula inside wasn't quite what I was expecting. It was runny, and looked like expired yoghurt. The consistency wasn't smooth, even after giving the bottle a good shake. Because the formula is so thin, it does make it difficult to spread through the hair. A large percentage ends up down the drain, and a lot of product is needed to cover the hair. By the time the product is left on the hair for five minutes, most of it has ended up down the drain. The formula has a strong scent, almost like artificial banana. I wouldn't describe this as a 'salon scent.'

After rinsing and blowdrying my hair, I noticed a small difference in the frizziness. It appeared slightly smoother and more manageable, but nothing drastic. This product is designed to strengthen the hair, so I can understand that this may not be particularly noticeable, especially in comparison to a product that just coats the hair with oils. However, I have now come to the end of the product and my hair doesn't appear to have benefitted. I will not be repurchasing this product.

I received this K-PAK Deep Penetrating Masque for Christmas and wasn't too sure what to expect. I had heard that this was incredible but was still a little dubious.

Needless to say this is my holy grail for hair masques. I use this twice a week and my hair looks and feels unbelievable - fully nourished, moisturised and soft. It leaves my hair looking sleek for days and is so much easier to maintain.

Brought this product online after a wee bit research and reading some reviews. I was on the look out for a hair treatment product that would help restore my dry, damaged hair. After using this product my hair feels softer, is easier to tame, leaves my hair looking healthier and shiner and has less breakage. I use it as a once a week treatment and leave it in for up to 5 minutes. I would recommend it to anyway who has dyed, damaged hair. Worth the small investment :)

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.

This is a truly deep penetrating hair treatment. Ans yes It does work in just five minutes! I was really surprised that after just one try my hair felt so much healthier and softer. All you need is a small amount and use it once a week and you will have prefect hair. I do recommend using this with a similar scented shampoo, due to this having a wonderful sweet banana scent.

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!

One of my absolute favourite beauty products! It is such a life saver for damaged, frizzy hair, especially when teamed with the intense hydrator afterwards. I get complements on how soft and shiny my hair is when I use this duo, which has never happened with other products. I find it also really helps after i've straightened or curled my hair to reverse the effects. I also love the banana lolly type scent!
