My ELEVEN Australia Miracle Hair Mask Review.
Now, back to the mask. I should preface this by saying I'm a bloody big mask fan. And there's a lot to love about this one.
Firstly, the packaging looks very good in my bathroom. Sure, you still have to navigate twisting the nozzle shut when you're done, but unlike some tub hair masks, the pouch slots easily into the shower caddy.
This mask has a thick, creamy texture and a little goes a long way. I applied a 20 cent-sized piece through just the ends of my short hair before getting on with some other annoying shower tasks like exfoliating and pondering my life's purpose for around five minutes before rinsing out with cold water.
My hair felt sooooooo damn soft. Even wet, I noticed that luscious silky feeling you get after a deep conditioning treatment. Once I blow dried my hair, the result was touchable, swishy hair that looked super healthy. Then there's the scent, which smells like a juicy, delectable bowl of coconut sorbet.
Which ELEVEN Australia Hair Product Is Right for You?
Finally, which ELEVEN Australia miracle hair product is the best? Obviously, I'm going to say they're all brilliant for different reasons.
Don't have the time do wait around in the shower for a wash-out mask do do its thing? Go with the OG Miracle Hair Treatment.
Feel like the Miracle Hair Treatment cream texture weighs your hair down? Go for the lighter Miracle Hair Spray treatment version.
For anyone with super dry or damaged hair that needs a big drink of water, swap out your regular conditioner once a week for a dollop of the delicious Miracle Hair Mask.
Bonus points: Work a pump of the Miracle Hair Treatment or a spritz of the Miracle Hair Spray through your mid-lengths and ends before styling too if you want double the nourishment.
There's no such thing as too many miracles, right?
