Kevin Murphy

About my hair: Basically, I have medium brown/dark brown hair. So when I started getting “gray hair” about 15 years ago, they are quite visible compared to my dark hair. And of course, there are more and more of these gray hairs. 😩😂 So the solution to make these not visible was to dye my hair. Besides dyed hair, my hair is dry and curly. I had previously hardly any experience with Kevin Murphy's hair products, other than having tried maxi wash in mini format. I thought that the special appearance and how the bottles were designed could be a problem. But not! Even though the cap is at the bottom, it doesn't spill out uncontrollably, which I had an idea it might do. 😂 So absolutely, good and handy bottle. The conditioner has a thick and good consistency for hair like mine, which is dry & treated. However, I need to use a lot of product for it to be sufficient. But that is standard for my hair. So nothing that makes me need to use more of Kevin Murphy than other products. Unfortunately, the conditioner has no good scent. It smells way too strong. But I have also partially damaged my sense of smell due to covid-19, which makes some ingredients in products smell very chemical. So how I perceive the scent of the product does not mean that everyone else experiences the scent “equally badly”. The main property of the conditioner should be color preserving. So, I can't see that this conditioner is more color preserving than others I use. I usually use hair products that work with “hydrate”, as I have dry hair. Sometimes I buy for colored hair. So no, I see no difference. But then I dye the roots every three weeks. So the color probably never gets a chance to be “really washed out”? I usually wash my hair about 3 times/week. So, in summary: good product for my dry hair, even though the main “goal” of the conditioner is to be color preserving, and not hydrate. Unfortunately too strong scent, which makes me not see the conditioner as my first choice when I buy conditioner again. I hesitated between giving it three and four stars. But it lands on four stars. But a so-called “weak four”. 😅 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #KEVINMURPHY

After the first wash, the hair is already softer, but I take off a couple of stars because of the scent. The product has a very strong herbal scent that I personally don't like.

With hair that has gone from being straight and smooth, to hair that is curly and dry, the "right kind" of products are needed. And for about 15 years now, I have also been dyeing my hair, about every three weeks. I only dye the roots though. As my hair has become curlier and curlier, and drier and drier, I have tried many different hair masks. Hair masks that are supposed to be tailored for dry or curly hair. Some have been good, and some have been really bad. Hydrate me is not just good, it is freaking good! 🥳 The hair mask has a thick and rich consistency that moisturizes and makes my dry, frizzy hair soft and manageable. And my hair is easier to brush through and detangle when I have used the hair mask than it was with the previous hair mask I had. I do have to use quite a bit of product though. But I always have to do that, considering my hair type. And in comparison to the previous hair mask I had, I still need to use less product. If that makes sense? 😅 Incredibly practical packaging with a pump! Despite the mask's thick consistency, it doesn't "clog" in the pump. The mask has a perfumed scent. I find it quite hard to describe scents, but it smells perfumed anyway. 😅 I wouldn't say that the strength of the scent is strong. Simply just the right strength. The only thing I can think of that would be "less good" is that the hair mask is a bit pricey. But overall, it is a complete hit for my hair. 🥳🥳 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #KEVINMURPHY
