I was looking for something healthy for my hair and didn’t make it stiff. I love Ivy and Elder hair mask and use it daily.
I use Ivy & Elder's Willow Talk Leave in mask EVERY day after I shower. Just a bit on each fingertip rubbed through my damp hair does the trick. I don't feel the need to use conditioner and my hair feels so light and smooth every single day. I'm addicted!
I had my doubts that this product would work. I have fine hair and, although I am older and my hair is thinning, I still have pretty thick hair. The combination of fine texture and the weight of thick hair means my hair has no body. Most conditioners make things worse by weighing my hair down. I found that my hair (again age related) was getting dry, but I couldn't find a conditioner that would help. Until now. This product takes the tangles out, makes my hair soft, AND gives it body. I love it!
Ivy and Elder hair mask makes my hair feel so light and smooth. I used to use two other products to keep my hair from frizzing after blow drying, but now I just use this. It’s like magic! I love it.
I have very fine hair and a bit on the thinner side. I've tried all the products that are supposed to add volume without weighing down your hair, and most of them are just hype. Since my previously straight hair is now becoming wavy, thank you menopause, I've been looking for products to help with the waves that I'm not allergic to. This hair mask is amazing! I really thought I'd be returning it for a refund, but it has pleasantly surprised me. It takes away the frizz and helps with my waves without making me miserable with itching and sneezing due to all the heavy scents and other crappy ingredients. AND my hair still has volume! I can't wait until the Wear the Wind Spray is back in stock; I'm just dying to add it to my collection.
