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 purchased this after my hair was damaged at a salon while putting in highlights - the hairdresser was unsure what caused it but in the end put it down to the brand of shampoo I was using. Basically the bleach made my hair melt so I needed something to bring it back from the dead.
I did loads of searches on the internet and decided this was the best product. I love the gold tube, it’s a reasonable price for a fairly small tube, but you really only need to use it once or twice a week so it does last.
The product is a thick creamy yellow colour with a decent scent - it’s not too overpowering, but a scent that always reminds me of good hairdresser products.
I have lots and lots of long hair, but a decent sized blob covered my lengths well. After leaving it in for 5 minutes, it rinses out beautifully and leaves your hair feeling soft. Overtime this really did improve my hair and give it some strength back. This is definitely a firm staple in my hair are routine now.
Tips: Apply to damp hair and then cover with a warm towel for a more intense treatment
This product is amazing!!
After just one use it makes your hair feel really soft and beautiful, and does a great job at helping to repair damage.
The smell isn't too bad but I can't say it's one of my favourite smells either.
You do need to be quite careful with this product though, as overuse can cause your hair to be filled up with too much keratin and leave it feeling dry and crunchy.
Tips: This product is really strong, so make sure it's followed up with a light moisture conditioner.
For even better results, towel dry the hair first, then apply the treatment, comb it through, and put a hot towel on it for about 15mins. (to get a hot towel place a damp towel in the microwave for about 2mins)
To prevent the hair from being filled up with too much keratin, use once a week at most.
Follow this up with the K-Pak Intense Hydrator if your hair is particularly prone to breakage/ or extremely porous.
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.
Tips: Massage into Hair and put a hot towel over top for 10 minutes and then wash out
Years ago my hair was fried. Literally fried. So much breakage. It was dry frizzy and unmanageable. A hairdresser sold me this right after she chopped off all my hair. I am continuously let down by false claims, not this time. My hair definately loved this and is much more healthier now
Tips: I used the complete range of joico, I think that helped me achieve the best results
The hairdressers gave me this product for free after they fried my hair and I complained...needless to say I wont be going back there but this product actually did really help to repair the damage. My hair was so bad i used it nearly every time I washed as a sort of intense conditioner and it definitely improved my hair.
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.
My hair loves this! Its a must have if your hair is feeling dry, dull and is in need of some care.
a little makes a big change in such a short amount of time!
I highly recommend this product if you're struggling with damaged hair!
This product is amazing if you've got dry unmanageable hair. I switch between this and the moisture one to help my hair handle the weather better. I need more moisture to relieve the frizz and this does a great job.
I'm not a huge fan of the smell but I put it on after shampooing twice with the Kpak shampoo. Then I leave this on for 5 minutes (while I shave my legs/exfoliate my face) and then rinse off. My hair is soft for a few days and then you can do it all again.
I'm obsessed with this stuff and I will keep using it forever. I have dry and damaged hair and use this stuff once a week or once every two weeks. I use this in conjunction with a moisturising treatment and it has done wonders for my hair. It smells like banana lollies and is a really thick formula and it's super quick to use. I saw a change in my hair after only using it for one day. It's not overly expensive, I'm more okay with spending money on hair care when I can see a difference and I can definitely see a difference with this
