Joico??

[hennaphile]

Anyone use this line (it's what they used on Arwen's wig... that piqued my interest)?

Does it have cones?

Yea, nea ? :cheese:

[spidermom]

Yes, I believe it does have cones. I haven't used it in years, but it's a good product line. Spendy though.

I have only used the K-Pak protein reconstructor. It is da bomb. (Did I just type "da bomb"??? :lol:) My hair likes protein and it slurps up K-Pak. I can't remember if it has cones, tho.

K pak does not have cones. :D It's a wonderful reconstructor. You have to be careful what you get from them though. Some things have cones, some don't. I use their K Pak, I use the joiwhip occasionally, and I use the curl defining cream/gel.

The reconstructor was what they used on Arwen's wig :eyebrows: Maybe for Kiwicus I may ask for some ;)

I love my all natural routine, but it does have it's limits.

I've heard that this is really designed for color treated, bleach fried, heat fried, and otherwise ravaged hair-- and that on healthy/virgin hair it might wreak havoc.

My hair isn't exactly in superb condition, even though i henna, hendigo, cassia, oil, etc. It's just naturally dry and wavy.

Thoughts on protein treatments in that case?

Does your hair like protein or benefit from the occasional protein treatment? If so, K-Pak may be for you. I've tried both the Joico and the Sally's GVP version and I actually like the Sally's one better. My hair is bleached on the length and K-Pak was a great tip from the lady at a beauty supply.

I do like the Joico line... I first tried it after purchasing the Silk Results (has a cone) but works great. I also have the K-Pak Moisture Intense Hydrator... works fantastic (has a cone way down the ingredient line)! Then there's the reconstructor, which also works a treat! Sally's make a generic of it that works nice too.

I use it and LOVE it. I've used their clarifying shampoo, Kpak, but I LOVE Integrity--their leave in conditioner/detangler. It is coney, and can leave build up, but for me, since I work in the elements, this conditioner is AWESOME! Keeps my hair lower on static, protects it from the dry cold air and the sun and leaves it less pouffy.

I've used their silk results shampoo and conditioner (the one for coarse/thick hair) and the k-pak reconstructor. They all gave me great results: Shiny, very soft and manageable hair. All 3 products contain cones. That's why I don't use them exclusively . I always rotate products and generally prefer stuff without cones.

Was your hair really damaged before using the reconstructor? :flower:

I also use the Sally's version, I have around 4 inches left of highlights on the bottom of my hair and this has made my hair a lot softer. Great price too :)

I've been using the Joico Defy Damage shampoo and conditioner for about a month now and so far I am liking my results. I have noticed a marked decrease in my amount of hair fall, especially during showering/hair washing. I have HUGE bottles of this stuff and will be using it, exclusively, until I run out. I switched to these products because my previous shampoos seemed to strip the heck out of my henna.

PROS - Very little hair fall

CONS - Not much scent. Which isn't a huge deal but I do love a good sniff of my hair every now and then, so I rather miss that.

[Dark40]

Oh, I love the K-PAK line! My hair also love protein, and yes it is da bomb. I always use the reconstructor. But it didn't say that it was only made for damaged, color treated, bleached, heat fried hair. I would think it's made for all hair types.

[GoatLady]

I'm still loving the Joico Defy Damage shampoo and conditioner. They have made a HUGE difference in the amount of hair fall. I now experience next to none. It's amazing. :applause:cheer::joy:
