4.1
Kristin Ess earns largely positive reviews for delivering salon-like results—softness, volume, and elevated scents—though performance varies by hair type. Strengths include standout texturizing and thickening sprays, effective purple shampoo/conditioner, and chic, pleasant-scented formulas; weaknesses surface around scalp tightness or dryness, heaviness and residue that’s hard to rinse, occasional frizz or flyaways, and mixed results from gloss/glaze and some conditioners.

I have tried a few products from this brand and for a "drug store" haircare brand i think they do a pretty decent range of hair care products. I recently used the Clarifying Shampoo which was nice. Not as good as my Ouai detox shampoo but it is more affordable. A good option if you have oily roots.

I really like Kristin Ess Hair products. I have platinum blonde hair that tends to break very easily. I have been trying to baby my hair so that it becomes stronger and is less likely to split or break. A lot of the bond building hair products have been the more expensive salon or professional products only. The only other similar product to this overnight bond dry mask is one by the brand IGK that I've used in the past. I think this is very similar and comparable to the IGK overnight bond boosting dry mask but this is one is a much better price.

I do like this mousse and the way it leaves my hair looking. I don't love the smell or the way it feels in my hair. I could maybe use less product and see if that helps. I do like the way it looks though.

This was a miss for me. Although my hair felt clean, my scalp felt weird. There seemed to be a bit of tightness to it, and I can’t really tell if maybe the product was actually drying my scalp. My hair felt softer but it did seem frizzy (I have straight thin hair, so frizz is usually never a problem for me). I did notice a lot more flyaways, and I couldn’t figure out why, but based on some other reviews I now wonder if maybe the product was causing some breakage in my hair as well. I’ve stopped using the product and my scalp is starting to feel more normal. Will not finish the bottle, as I’m now suspicious if the product was the cause of the strange scalp sensation and hair breakage.
