The hair wrap Joico K-pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor is a super hyped and talked about hair wrap that has been named the best hair wrap as many times as possible!
And now I have finally tested it too :)
First of all - I actually have a bit of a hard time deciding what I think of it, because I'm happy with the result but I who have used organic and natural hard care for so long suddenly find it a little difficult to see all the synthetic ingredients and feel it synthetic scent in the shower. I love natural and organic products, but at the same time I am not against synthetic ingredients because I understand that synthetics can also be really good, and one does not have to exclude the other. So I can not really explain why I feel like this, it's a bit psychic!
But despite that, I have tried to give it an honest chance, and here is my final review, an incredibly detailed one! :)
Price - SEK 269 on Lyko.se (and free shipping!)
Results after first use:
Jag hade ställt in mig på “jag har aldrig haft så här lent hår i hela mitt liv-känsla” efter allt gott jag har hört om den. Och mitt hår var absolut lent och underbart, men sen jag började med Sanctums hårvård så har jag liksom alltid så här mjukt hår efter duschen så det kan typ inte riktigt bli mjukare haha *skrytarn*. Så jag märkte ingen skillnad alls måste jag säga.
Results after more uses:
The main thing the hair wrap should do is to rebuild and strengthen the hair, I do not know purely molecularly how it works, but after several uses, I actually start to notice a difference! Because even though you have good shampoo, conditioner and aftercare (I use hair oil), I believe that you need a solid hair wrap sometimes that strengthens a little extra in addition to what the hair gets every shower.
And what I notice most is that I usually need more hair oil after about 3 days after the shower (showers my hair about every 4-5 days) because then it can get a little dry in the tops. But I do not feel the dry feeling as quickly anymore, but the hair is kept in check only until the next shower, as long as I am not too shitty against it with curling irons and all that I have played with a lot lately :)
Positive vs negative:
♥ The scent is exactly like the banana-flavored fluoride tablets that I got when I was little! Loved them! So I really like the sweet banana scent that the hair wrap has, even though I usually don't like things with banana taste. It is sweet and good in a good way.
♥ Effect time is only 5 minutes, fast and good!
♥ As I said, I notice a difference in the hair and that is the most important thing, a noticeable difference makes it feel worth the money :) It is soft and smooth, and actually feels stronger!
♥ I like that the packaging is a tube, practical!
x However, my lid is a little difficult to close, which resulted in pounding the bottom of the wall a bit to make it close haha. Yes, the plastic broke! But do I think this was probably just a manufacturing defect on my packaging?
x Unfortunately, I think that the wrap does not feel thick enough, I like heavy wraps that almost slide over the hair so that only a small click is enough. But this one feels more like a creamy conditioner with a texture that is almost a bit grainy, you need a lot for the whole hair.
x I also think that my hair gets a little heavy afterwards, I would like the wrap only from the scalp down because why not take care of the new hair too, I think. But my volume is affected a bit so in the future I will probably only have it in the lengths!
Summary: It does not get 5/5 from me, but I can definitely recommend it! I personally would like a slightly more airy result, more expensive formula and of course preferably natural and organic ingredients for a long-term use. But otherwise I'm crazy happy!
Any of you who have tested this? What did you think? :)













I remember loving it when I was blonde! :) But it was good many years ago now. ;)
I understand that, it is probably great when you have bleached your hair so that it is so dry and worn :)
