Kristin Ess Reviews

4.2

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.

    This gloss is perfect. It leaves my hair feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and manageable with that fresh from the salon shine I wish I could get every day.The scent is luxurious, and a little goes a long way.

    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 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 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.
