I’ve tried many products from Creightons and I was waiting eagerly for this hair masque from the coconut line.
Description:
Creightons Crème de Coconut & Keratin Deep Conditioning Hair Masque. Indulge and treat your hair. This super-blend of Coconut Milk, Keratin & Vitamin E deeply conditions and strengthens dry and damaged hair. Hair is left feeling silky smooth and more manageable.

It’s an ordinary packaging, a plastic jar with a screw top.

Should be used within 12 months after opening.
No protective membrane was under the lid.
Ingredients:
Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Stearamidopropyl, Dimethilamine, Cetyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Cocos Nucifera (coconut) Oil, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Citric Acid, Panthenol, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Parfum (Fragrance), Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Isopropyl Myristate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum, Benzyl Benzoate
Formula:
The masque is pearly white and very thick.
It’s a bit silicone-y to the touch:
The coconut smell is amazing but it’s more creamy, like a milky cocktail with coconut or ice cream. The scent doesn’t linger on my hair.
How to use:
After shampooing, massage into hair, pay particular attention to hair ends and leave for 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
My thoughts:
My hair is long (more than 55 cm,), thin, oily at the roots and the length is dry, porous and dyed. I wash my hair every other day. My scalp is sensitive.
I use this hair masque once a week after a Creightons shampoo from another range. I apply it onto towel dry hair.
Despite its thick formula, the masque isn’t long-lasting. I’ve used it 5-6 times and am halfway through the jar.Even though the masque is supposed to stay on the hair for a couple of minutes, I don't think it’s enough, that’s why I leave it on longer.
The masque is easy to rinse, but when washing it off I don’t feel the promised smoothness and softness. My hair feels harsh and rough, that’s why I have to apply the coconut conditioner from the same line afterwards.
First I let my hair dry naturally then blow dry it.
Result:
If I don’t use any conditioner, my hair is tangled, dry and hard to comb through. The masque doesn’t give any moisture.
The masque weighs my hair down, so I wouldn’t recommend using it frequently otherwise your hair may look dirty.
There is visible shine, though. The hair isn’t dull.
The bottom line:
This masque turned out to be mediocre. Not recommended!
