Eastern Experiments: VITRESS Hair Solutions, Hair Spa

by Sasha Manuel on March 25th, 2008

I finally got around to trying out this hair product, VITRESS Hair Solutions Hair Spa, this afternoon. I had no idea what to expect in terms of outcome. I was just silently praying it wouldn’t ruin my hair. Heh.

I read the instructions carefully before putting the gunk in my hair. I wanted to do it right. After shampooing and conditioning my hair, I toweled it dry. Well, at least, it’s just damp when I massaged the hair spa onto hair strands and scalp. I had to leave it on for 30 minutes at least. I didn’t have a shower cap around so I decided to wrap a towel around it while I proceeded to work a bit while waiting.

Initial observations include:

• It smelled a bit funny. It reminds me of some chemical treatment which is used by salons or something. I even asked my boyfriend how he found the scent, to which he responded that it caused him to feel a little dizzy. This is a mark against it in my book. I like my hair to smell nice. I reckon the ginseng scent doesn’t really sit well with me even when it promises to relieve stress.
• It felt a little ‘menthol-y’ on my scalp. It felt a bit cool. I guess this is what it says about ‘cool and refreshing sensation’, eh?.
• Rinsing didn’t pose any problem. Twas quite easy to wash it off my hair. A real good thing cuz that’s one thing I really don’t like. I don’t want to spend a lot of time with just doing this hair spa thing.
• There was no hair fall. A real good sign! This means it isn’t formulated to be harsh and such. I am sorta experiencing an itchy scalp though. Not much but it’s still there. I’m not certain if it’s due to the hair spa. I have to do further ‘testing’ just to be sure.
• I had to wait a bit for my hair to dry after toweling it. I decided that I should let it dry naturally; not blow dry it. Reason is for me to see how my hair will feel and look like when dried that way. I have to admit that my hair does feel extra soft and smooth. It doesn’t feel ‘dry’ right now.

However, I did use the Sunsilk Smooth & Manageable Shampoo and Conditioner. They may have contributed to the soft and smooth outcome of my hair. I still need to test this product at least a couple of times more. Just to give it time to ‘repair the damage’ on my colour-treated hair.

Anyway, I hope this helps. I’ll make a follow-up post if I discover new things about the product. Stay tuned!
