Beautifully Curled: Naturals by Hask Strengthening Masque

Opened package and instantly noticed how great the masque smelled. It had a very tropical scent that was not overpowering at all.
The consistency was very thick and silky in contrast to the Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor.
The amount in the package was more than enough to get a full coverage on my hair in contrast to the single packet of the Aphogee Reconstructor.
This product had amazing slip as I applied it to my hair. Felt like a really nice conditioner.

Process:

Kept on my hair between 15-17 minutes uncovered.
Rinsed hair under high pressure water.

For whatever reason, I treated this as a "hard" protein despite the protein ingredients being listed near the end of the ingredient list. I am still paranoid about protein. #suchanewbie
My hair was not hard at all compared to what I have seen on YouTube of hard protein treatments, but I still did not touch my hair for 2 minutes as the water ran through my hair.
Following the two minutes, I used my fingers to help remove the remainder of the treatment from my hair.

Results:

Following the treatment, I deep conditioned using the Shea Moisture Yucca & Plantain Masque, which also contains some protein, because that was all that I had on hand that did not have a whole lot of protein.
After rinsing the Shea Moisture masque from my hair, I noticed how my hair felt super smooth at the crown of my head...almost like plastic/synthetic. My hair had a squeakiness to it.
I am not sure if I have slight protein overload in this area but is definitely something I need to be mindful of in the future.

All in all, I really like this Strengthening Masque. I do not have much experience at all with protein treatments to compare it adequately to the Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor, but I will say that I plan on using this masque again for future treatments. This strengthening masque fits my goal of using more natural products so I want to use it some more before giving a more definite product review.

Nevertheless, based on my initial impression, I would recommend this product to others who may be interested in a more natural based treatment. I would just caution in using a deep conditioner containing protein following this masque. (I am quite sure this is given knowledge, but I am still learning about how different ingredients/products interact with each other). #myjourney

I tried to find reviews on this particular product (after I had already applied it to my head...lol) but could not find much of anything except for a YouTube video, and that review was so-so. I am glad I tried this Strengthening Masque based on my own curiosity and hope this initial review was helpful!
