And, since I'm here:
Disappointing, Violence-Inducing Miss: Joico K-Pak Reconstructor
I had such high hopes for this reconstructor given all of the glowing reviews. This product has a slightly creamy consistency and smells somewhat like bananas. Despite its consistency, however, this stuff applied like..nothing. Although I could see it being smoothed onto my hair, my strands felt bare and completely devoid of product. I kept touching my hair and peering into the mirror in disbelief. As a result, I kept slathering it on until my hair felt coated with product. It took an inordinate amount of this stuff for my hair to feel even remotely saturated, which is not OK given its price point of $20 for 5oz. Still, I covered my hair with a plastic cap and allowed it to marinate on for a little over an hour. Upon rinsing, my hair felt like...meh, as if I hadn't done anything to it. I...was...floored. While I didn't expect it to be soft or moisturized, I did assume that it would proffer a degree of strength. My hair had no discernible strength to it at all. None. I was too through; I still am.
