How to Repair Damaged Hair in 6 Easy Steps

How to Repair Damaged Hair: 6 Steps to Healthier Strands

Shaz & Kiks

What it is: Multitasking, creamy plant-based hair mask beautifully formulated with 20 nutrient-dense Indian herbs, oils & flowers to nourish your hair root to tip, inside out.

Why it's special:

❤ Delivers super-dose of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids & antioxidants to your hair follicles so healthy hair can grow from the very beginning.

❤ Oil-balancing, antibacterial & anti-inflammatory ingredients help relieve itchiness and scalp sensitivities. The key to a healthy scalp is balancing oil production and pH level, which this hair mask does brilliantly.

❤ Nutritious plant oils easily absorb into your strands, moisturizing and strengthening them from the inside. Helps seal in moisture, detangle, reduce frizz, & prevent everyday damage from water, heat, and environmental stressors. Bring out your beautiful natural texture, strong and healthy!

Is this for my hair — if your hair has one or more of these traits:

Water and other products quickly absorb into your hair, your hair tends to break easily, your hair tends to be frizzy or brittle, it doesn’t take much time for your hair to air dry, you might have a drier scalp.

This prewash has a powerful mix of high-penetrating and light-weight oils blended with nourishing kokum butter that will leave your hair ultra-soft and reduce frizz by keeping out an overabundance of water entering your strands.

We understand that you might have a mix of the 2 hair type categories (e.g. dry and fine hair) but prioritize what your biggest challenge is and pick your prewash accordingly.

Back To Your Roots Scalp + Hair Prewash

Hello friends I'm doing an update on my first impressions of the Jazz and kicks back to your roots scalp and hair pre wash I have it in the flat to normal formula I used it for the first time 3 days ago yeah I'm on day 3 of not washing my hair and I used a generous amount at my scalp's really worth it in let it sit for about an hour and a half and then I shampooed it out but I didn't condition afterwards I let my hair air dry I'm trying to step away from using Hot Tools so much this morning I did use the Revlon one-step just at my bangs because I slept on them funny they were doing this weird thing butusually Friday 3 I have like a really greasy scalp and have to use a generous amount of a dry shampoo if you can see right now I still have so much volume and my scalp still feels really clean and I'm in love with this balance of scalp oil production

good morning friends it's his hair wash day but first I'll take you through my morning skincare I use the Somme Institute nourishing cleanser and then I applied the Kate Somerville bio mimicking peptides once that said I used the Swedish Chef superfood vitamins moisture boost and 4 SPF I mix the supergroup play with the supergoop glow screen that's how we got this morning glow on hair wash day I love to soak my hair in the shadows and kicks back to your roots scalp and hair pre wash I actually use it as a styling treatment I leave it in all day and then shampoo it out at nightthis stuff really stimulates my scalp looks down my flyaways and smells

this is the shasm kicks back to your roots scalp and hair pre-wash I think we can all agree that the packaging is absolutely beautiful but what you can't see is the aroma that comes out of here and it is glorious this is a treatment that you applied your scalp prior to shampooing and it's formulated with 20 nutrient-rich Indian herbs oils and flowers to help nourish your hair from root to tip I know I look so crazy right now but the way I like to apply it as I just take long partings about half an inch apart and then I work a lot of product into my scalp and really just rub it in and already I could feel it stimulating my scalp and my follicles and I'm so excited to see the results this luxurious treatment retails for $60 that helps to balance a Scouts pH reduce frizz and deliver strong and flexible strands I'm really enjoying it so far I love this thick creamy texture and the spicy earthy Nacho

hey guys I'm here to share with you my super great reward that I got in the mail and I'm so excited I couldn't wait for this I redeemed it during one of the lived where one of the owners was there and she was so informative honestly I was just sold on all of the benefits and the claims that she had with this product so it's a collective is a sister Collective I'm heading for the illustration are so awesome and shots was there and was it shot in heat like we've shot and keeps a back to your roots scalp hair pre wash and I got the dry frizzy or curly hair version to those two different versions but this video is strictly an unboxing cuz look how beautiful this freaking packaging is and how thoughtful it is I just I love love package like that so you just open the box and there's even more information there and look at all the goals and then you slipped this out and that's it and then you open it up ready to use cannot wait to try

hey you guys are before I go onto part 2 which is after rinsing this out I wanted to do an overall impression on the Shahs in keeks back to your roots scalp and hair pre wash to civically for dry frizzy or curly hair as they have two versions and the ingredients so far amla fruit the main ones rice bran turmeric root and Jasmine flower and for sure you can smell the tumeric root like immediately when I opened it I was like all the smells like to work so if you're familiar with turmeric and you're okay with that thing this is for you it definitely doesn't have an artificial sweet scent to push this means it's as natural as possible and you know after she did the live here on super great and everything like I said before I was sold so that was really exciting I did however almost the entire thing as my hair is very a very sick density but I can't wait to see how this works if it does it all as I have very dry hair as well to look out for

hey guys so I'm just now getting around to using this shows and Kings scalp and hair pre wash and there's two different versions this one is specific for dry frizzy and curly hair like myself right now my hair is just in its natural form no product in it so it's actually really dry and brittle so I'm curious to see how this will work and these two little buns I'm going to take this down lapis on mostly my scalp bring it down to the root and then sleep in this overnight so let's get startedare you guys I'm all done with good looks

hello guys so I just lost a draft that was the span of probably over an hour of me applying the mask washing it out and air drying my hair it's not completely dry but I just want to say that this mask is amazing I left it on for 30 minutes there's a recommendation to leave it on overnight which I will try and I personally love the scent I love essential oils anything that smells clean and minty and Eucalyptus it smells like just everything that really should be in products these days no fillers no additives it's amazing my hair feels great it felt like a beautiful like slightly gritty conditioner and I can't wait until my hair is fully dried I really love the stuff I love what the sisters have done and their ethics behind it with their ingredients good job girls I will definitely repurchase

hello guys so it is time for me to wash off the pre wash mask and yeah I will show you how I dry my hair and style it and the consistency after this entire process so let's roll hello so I did blow dry wash the pre wash out of my hair and got ready for the day and I'm just going to add some curls so you can really see the highlights in my hair but I already have like a couple reviews about this pre-wash I really do love it I love the ingredients the consistency how my hair feels like even when you wash off the pre wash off your hands you can feel how nourishing it is so my locks really do love the formula and I will show you my completed curled hair and just a secalready guys so I just curled the front two pieces cuz I'm really not that good at curling hair but still my favorite hair mask highly recommend go support.

this is your friendly reminder to take care of your hair like skin all of our skin is different some of us have acne prone or dry skin and that goes for hair as well I have an oily scalp my roots are pretty healthy but my ends like I can't even brush this and do you use more conditioners I need a nurse my scalp than this I think will be my first step in my hair journey to a better hair scalp relationship with myself I'll leave in this 4-step treatment for as long as possible and come back with the results present later the hair has been air-dried there are no Hot Tools applied this is my natural to look it's still pretty dry on the end but I'll be consistent from now on

okay so as you can see my hair is pretty Define which is because I have product in it or had product product yesterday which means they're still product in it I don't know if that's going to affect the results anyway let's start so there is like a protective cover on it and you could see this is definitely a thicker formula also it has a faint honey scent but it really smells like spices I'm really nervous okay so I'm going to take it is definitely a sticker oh my gosh like I was saying this is definitely a picture formula and not to mention thank you so much because this cost $60 next I'm just going to finish up the rest of my head show you what it looks like and then I will do a part 3 come out of the shower my hair looks like I tried finger coming just a little bit I also feel like I use quite a bit of this but I will be back for part 3 after mowing my shower

I'm doing a part 2 because I want to specify with the prices this size is the 250ml I said I have a 230 ml that is $60 so we have the biggest size which is $60 they're smaller size is a 90 ml which is like nothing compared to this and that is $38 so I mean if you want the small size that's still $40 I I really like this product to my hair but it's just like is $60 worth it I'm only getting about for uses out of it for my hair specifically I think for like thinner here he's going to lose use a lot less and that'll be more worth it to you but for me personally I would not be spending $60 on this product to get for uses out of it and I don't want to see in the friend and I don't think I'm doing that it's just like for my thing I don't have $60 to just freely spend on hair products

Tracey breaks so bad lighting search for packaging it came in a box and I was like that's really weird also it didn't come USPS it came ups but none the less I got a super great package so first in here was the super great sticker just a regular sticker and then there was like this like feeling kind of stuff and then the star of the show I got the shaft spin kicks back to your roots Scout plus hair pre wash for dry frizzy or curly hair so this is really heavy the packaging is beautiful I open it in front of my family members like you're saving their packaging Sony open it up there is some information here and then this is the packaging of a product I hope you could see but there's like some like flowery plant kind of things and this is what the product looks like kind of reminds me of a face scrub thank you so much to you guys and super great for making these things happen and we doing in part to we're going to detail of what is on the packaging

everyone's going to try out this shaft and kicks pre-wash this is what it looks like it's got a very strong turmeric if you know that smells like food and then it's also got some other kind of like tea tree oil life has been since going on most very good and I'm going to put this on my hair work it for my scalp down to my roots and then I'll let it sit for 15 minutes case I tie my hair up while that I let the sitting here for about half hour while I was watching the rest of this is us let me know if you watch it it's such a good show I love it so I'm going to wash this out so you just wash it out my hair feels so soft and I'm really excited to see what it looks like tomorrow so I will.

Savage kicks back to your roots pre-wash treatment that's why my hair is like this first impressions I'd say if you have thick hair like myself I would definitely say you have to section your hair when you use this unfortunately to be easier to use and I am shooketh like I honestly just uses all by itself because it doesn't need shampoo and conditioner after it my honest opinion it says that you can shampoo conditioner as normal I felt my hair was clean my hair was soft and like you don't need to do that like this by itself is amazing so good like a sensual oils just kiss seriously a 10 out of 10 I'd recommend
