SheaMoisture Purification Masque

When I got the news that ULTA was opening in my town I was ecstatic! When I got a job with them I was on cloud nine! There were so many products I wanted to try and play with!!! And this baby has become my golden goose!
I grabbed this hair mask on the off chance that it would work. My hair is the weirdest I know of. It's oily, coarse, thick, wavy and curly, with a sensitive, dry scalp that is very prone to dandruff. I can wash my hair and have dandruff the very next day. But with this mask it's about four days before my hair starts showing signs.

This mask has a very mild "grit" to it that I'm assuming is to exfoliate the scalp. (The package doesn't really say anything about that.) It has a base of Shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado among other moisturizing creams, oils, and butter. For medicinal purposes, it has salicylic acid, willow bark extract, and tea tree oil. It is extremely natural, and it says "homeopathic remedy"! It's made without a lot of icky things like parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and a lot of other crap that's bad for you.
It says to: "Apply generously to dampened hair, leave for 5-30 minutes and rinse thoroughly."
What I typically do is shampoo my hair and use this as a conditioner in rotation with my actual conditioner. My hair stylist has me using Paul Mitchell's tea tree line with lavender. She says it's clarifying yet soothing which is good for dandruff prone hair. The results with my conditioner isn't as long lasting as it is with the mask, but it still works.
The tub says it "Conditions hair while relieving dry, itchy and flaking scalp while regulating sebum production. Plantain Enzymes, clarifying Tea Tree Oil and Willow Bark Extract removes product buildup and strengthens hair by sealing in natural moisture." It does all that and more for me! Since I have a very sensitive scalp I have to be careful with the products I use on my hair. Certain things aggravate my dandruff, and some will even clog hair follicles and cause "acne" on my scalp. I've been using this mask for almost a month and nothing bad has happened! Only good!
Now, I know very little about hair care, but I would highly recommend this product, and line, to anyone! I haven't tried anything else by SheaMoisture, but I will be in the future! I'm always happy to find new products that are natural and work amazingly!
Until next time!
