Kristen Ess Hair ~ Target Does It Again
Do you spend a small fortune on your hair? Never mind, you don’t have to answer...of course you do. We all leave the salon with fancy product in their pretty bottles. And they usually smell oh so good. In fact, we spend so much on our hair that we are fearful of experimenting with those poor shampoos, conditioners, etc. we see on the aisle at the grocery. Sure, their television commercials promise the moon, but let’s be honest...when it comes down to it we are fearful they will “mess up” our hair. But sometimes, just sometimes, wouldn’t it be nice to have a less expensive alternative? Lucky for you I found it.
One day on a Target run {of course it’s Target; isn’t that where we go in for nothing and leave with $500 of everything we didn’t realize we couldn’t live without?} perusing the shampoo aisle these pretty little bottles jumped out at me. It was like cue to trumpets. Chic packaging, nice refreshing smell...get in my buggy right now! I was so excited the next day was a hair washing day! Ladies, Kristin Ess is all the things. Good packaging, fresh scent, great value and they deliver...meaning, they won’t “mess up” your hair.
Admittedly, purchased for packaging {don’t ask how many bottles of wine I’ve poured down the sink because I “like the label”} but repurchased because the product delivers. The shampoo and conditioner are gentle enough for color treated hair - and the shampoo lathers if you wash twice! The thickening spray plumps the hair without drying it out. The dry texturizing spray along with the hairspray are as good as any I’ve ever tried...and the reconstructive moisture mask...well it’s just yummy. My only slight disappointment is with the dry shampoo. Gotta be honest here. First, it leaves A LOT of white residue but a refreshing scent so that’s good. It doesn’t add any “lift”; still leaves the hair feeling flat. However, you can rub the white out easily with your fingertips and it doesn’t make the scalp feel “yucky” like some. Bottom line, it’s probably best if you already have dry hair...not oily. Other than that, Kristin Ess is a win across the board and not only look just as good next to your salon products in the shower but performs as great too. Great for those on a budget or looking to rotate in with your other salon products. EVERYONE can have great hair. It’s flying off the shelves, so run, don’t walk to your nearest Target...or just save yourself the trip and order it online.
