Happy Hair Days: Essential Rich Premier Hair Mask

Essential Rich Premier Hair Mask

When I was in Japan last summer, I watched a lot of beauty guru videos, hoping that they would lead me to some of the extremely exciting brands of Japanese makeup that is pretty much only accessible in Japan.

I stumbled upon a video that Bubzbeauty had put out about how she had gotten her hair so long. I had cut my hair in March of 2013 because the ends were extremely damaged, but I was really missing my long hair. In the video (she currently lives in China), she mentioned this Japanese hair mask called Essential Rich Premier. During a trip to the local convenient store I saw that they carried the Essential Rich Premier Hair Mask! Not only this, but they were on sale! I bought the orange one and the pink one (not exactly sure what the difference was, I think my Mom told me at the time, but I can't remember).

I started with the pink one, and I could immediately feel the difference in my hair. I shampoo'd and conditioned my hair as normal and let this sit in my hair while I shaved my legs. My hair usually tangles pretty easily, and I could actually run my fingers through my hair after I rinsed it out! I didn't really like the way the pink one smelled, but once I opened the orange bottle, it was heavenly.

It's a little hard to open in the shower with the twist off top, but the bottle usually lasts me like two months. I know that it seems impossible to get this mask, but I actually found it online at yesstyle.com! They have it for $12.90 which is a little expensive (especially compared to the price in Japan, I actually have my aunt send me some every time my Grandma sends us a box of goodies from Japan), but I think it is well worth it. I have yet to find a hair mask that actually works this well!
