Since I traveled for Thanksgiving, it was the perfect time to try out a travel size mask for the first time in a while. And I’ve been eyeballing this brand every now and then whenever I popped into CVS or Target, so giving into temptation was inevitable.
Yes To is a beauty brand which specializes in fruits and vegetables as their main natural ingredients. Their mission is to bring “all of the goodies” without any harsh ingredients with 95% natural and recyclable formulas. Their major selling point is their facial care which is most common in any retail or drug store. Their hair lines aren’t the most massive, but there’d a few neat things I find from time to time in stores like their single use clay hair masks. I picked up a few since I knew I’d be traveling for the holidays, and today I’ll be featuring the Tea Tree Scalp Relief Soothing hair mask.
Today’s mask, as the name indicates, is designed to soothe itchy scalps, which really dragged me in, cause my scalp as of late feels like a nightmare. Its main highlight is the tea tree and sage oils which combat dandruff, strengthen hair, and provide much needed moisture to your scalp. The mask also contains aloe leaf juice, soybean oil, and avocado oil for an extra boost of moisture. But how does it perform?
For this particular wash day, I sadly didn’t have time to do a usual deep condition. But the packaging says it can be used before shampooing for 3-5 minutes, so I took the leap of faith to save time. I never used a clay mask, so it was an odd texture to get used to; it almost felt like it began hardening. But thankfully as I kept working through my tangles, my ends sucked up the product. The instructions also say you can apply the mask to the roots, which you usually don’t need to do. However, because I have stinking long hair, once I finished working through the ends, I barely had any leftover to apply to my scalp. But whatever I could apply on my scalp was instant relief I needed for quite a while. It was super cooling and refreshing.
I left the mask in for 5 minutes while I did the rest of my morning routine, and then hopped right in the shower to wash my hair and what-have-you. And here are the day one results when 100 percent dry, and… I’m really regretting skipping the deep condition.
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting wash day to last long since at the time I was in the Midwest for the weekend, and it’s far more bitterly cold and windy than I’m used to. I picked up the slack as best as I could in styling with DevaCurl, and I thankfully got some definition to stick. But this look lasted maybe 2 days at max before getting frizzy and knotted. As of this writing, I’m fairly certain my scalp is mad at me for the extreme weather changes cause it feels like someone dumped a whole cup of melted butter on my head. Never a pleasant feeling.
I’m not gonna give up on Yes To just yet since I already got two more masks to try, and there’s more than one way to use this product. I’m hoping using one of the mask as a proper deep condition will fare me better. But as a pre-poo treatment, the Tea Tree Scalp Relief Soothing mask breezes right through my tangles, and true to its name, it provides much need moisture to a dry scalp. I just wish there was more product to get through my scalp, and I learned my lesson to never skip a deep condition ever again, even if my sleep schedule disagrees with me.
