Snob Essentials

Hair Masks: The Snob and The Slob

I don’t ask much from my masks and conditioners just that they de-tangle and hydrate my hair, which at the moment is particularly dry because of the fall-to-winter transition. That’s not too much to ask now is it!? I have a lot of hair, but it’s long and thin – hence the knots. In any case, when you’re spending around $60 for a hair product you expect it to work! Luckily I was given a sample of Serge Normant Meta Morphosis ($60), before buying it because if anything it felt like it was sucking the moisture out of my hair. I looked all over the jar and online to make sure that this product wasn’t meant for oily hair, but no it is in fact meant to help those of us with dry hair…I don’t get it! People rave about this product — seriously everyone from Jason Asher to Rachel Zoe. Every time I tried it (I used it for a good 5-6 washes), I needed to re-apply a conditioner or mask after using it because it did nothing but make my hair feel like a tangled knot (even Bumble & bumble conditioner – not a mask – worked better than this treatment/hair mask!). It also felt like it was made of 99% water and it didn’t seem to adhere well/absorb into my hair.

Thankfully there’s good news….not only does Oribe make hair masks that cost less, but they have a scent that will appeal no matter your gender and they work divinely! I’ve used both Oribe Masque For Beautiful Color and Oribe Signature Moisture Masque, but if you have colored hair I suggest you use the Beautiful Color product to maximize the brilliance of your color. Plus, like I said I have dry hair at the moment and it works to treat that (just not to the extent that the signature one does). Bye-bye brittle hair…
