This post is going to be on one of
the first products I haven’t utterly raved about. It is the Bee Strong
Strengthening Intensive Mask. I purchased this in Superdrug in England for 1.96
pounds, so I’m not complaining on the price at all.
Shampoo and Conditioner rant:
I got it alongside the Bee Strong (Honey I’m Strong) shampoo and conditioner,
which are actually a massive let down! It’s a real shame because I used to
adore Herbal Essences products until I started bleaching my hair. I switched to
higher end salon products to condition my hair better. It was only when a
favourite YouTuber of mine, ChloeMorello recommended the range, I decided I’d
give their new range a go. The first time I used the shampoo and conditioner, I
was let down. My hair felt really dry and strawlike, even though I leave my
conditioner on for about 7 mins while I’m showering. The consistency of the
product was weird and waxy, but I actually really enjoyed the honey-sweet
smell. The conditioner felt very moisturising on my hands, however it obviously
never made its way into my very dry hair. That’s another thing, I must stress
that my hair is very very dry usually due to my bleaching and straightening
habits, but I’m usually able to keep it in pretty nice condition using other
drugstore brands like Aussie Miracle or Wella and salon brands, like Goldwell
or Kerastase. To surmise, the shampoo and conditioner did absolutely nothing
for me except make my hair smell sweet and honeylike. It remained dry and
breaky and felt stripped of moisture. I have since used these two products on
my dog, who enjoys it very much.
Now, on to the actual treatment
mask. I was surprisingly happy with the results of the mask itself, even though
I used it with different shampoo and conditioner due to my disappointment with
the Bee Strong ones. The mask is also really waxy and thick in its texture, and
has the same gorgeous smell. The pot is a nice size, quite generous compared to
some other hair treatments. I took two very small handfuls and split my hair in
half. I ran the first handful through the left side of my hair and massaged it
in so my hair felt saturated with the product. I repeated on the other side and
then waited about an hour. This is longer than you’re supposed to but who
cares? I like my pamper sessions! The smell was glorious and my hair felt
really heavy and thick with the gooey mask, which I really love and it felt
like it was doing my hair a load of good.
I rinsed it out and my hair did
actually feel pretty moisturised. I’m considerably pleased with the results of
this really cheap (cheap in price, not cheap as in quality) hair mask! For 1
pound 96p I’m really not complaining! The mask left my hair quite nicely
nourished, it reduced the appearance of my split ends and made my strands feel
slightly fuller. I’m really impressed with this mask for the price (though I’m
sure it is usually a bit more, but I got it on sale) and I might repurchase it
again. There are other masks I prefer, but it’s a great one if you’re on a
budget or if you like to substitute hair masks in as your conditioner, because
that can get pretty pricey. Overall, I really nice hair treatment considering
the price! However, I’ll probably buy the Beautiful Ends collection in future,
as I’ve tried and tested it before and it has worked better for me.
