Side by Side Comparison of: Arvazallia vs Lee Stafford

I really like this Hair Mask - My hair is Platinum Blonde - I moved to a place that has a lot of chlorine in the water and my hair frizzed out! I have used this every 2-3 days and my hair did a 180! The frizz is gone and my color is vibrant again! It took a couple uses, but that was because my hair's condition - and now I look forward to using it again and again. Best for me is to put in after washing (while still pretty wet) and combing through, leaving on for about 10 minutes - it has 5-7 minutes suggested but for me 10 minutes works best! Not all hair is the same - some I'm sure will see a difference immediately while others might take a few applications for full affect. I am happy with this purchase - recommended!!

I was skeptical because of the mixed reviews. But I've only used this twice so far and I see a huge difference! My hair is so damaged from bleach, color, and heat. But after using this my hair is so silky! I'm happy with this product :)

I have to say this is the best conditioning product I have ever used.I have thick, naturally wavy hair that has been a nightmare my entire life. It does what it wants, it gets extremely frizzy in both humid and dry conditions and it tangles easily. In the summer it's even worse because I'm in the pool every day and the chlorine really takes it's toll.I've tried so many different conditioners I've lost count. Some work ok, some don't work at all and same made things worse. I've tried other products with Argan oil in them too and, while better than most, they still weren't amazing. I found this product here last year during the summer when my ends were fried crispy from chlorine. I didn't think anything would make that much of a difference but after reading all the reviews I decided to give it a shot. I am so happy I did.I use just a little once or twice a week as a quick conditioner and then when my hair starts really frizzing and look dull and damaged - in the summer from the chlorine and in the winter from the dry air - I slather it on and leave it in for several hours. When I rinse and dry after that it's like I have different hair. No frizz, no crispiness - it's soft, silky and smells great! I also get far fewer tangles than I used to and the ones I do get are much easier to comb out, which is a big plus for me.I've seen a couple of reviews here saying the product left their hair greasy or it was too heavy. I have to guess they are not rinsing it out well enough after using. I could see that happening if you don't rinse properly. But I've been using it for over a year now, I always make sure to rinse it out completely and I have never experienced that problem, even after leaving it in for hours. No greasiness, no heaviness, just soft, silky, awesome feeling hair.If you're like me - and have tried everything and almost given up on finding something that works - give this a shot. I almost guarantee you'll be glad you did. I know I am!

This product is great!I have pretty fine hair- wavy when dried naturally. It has become fairly dry and damaged - too much heat styling over the past 10 years. Nothing crazy or drastic, but the ends of my hair are becoming wispy and dry and on bad days, straw-like, and over all my hair is a bit more frizzy. I have tried many different professional-brand conditioners and balms. All of which have been "OK' but nothing that really Wow-ed me. Until Arvazallia and I have only been using it for like 3 weeks. First of it smells GREAT. But my hair has felt better, stronger, and it LOOKS much more lustrous and silky, just like how it used to.I will definitely be purchasing this product and others from their line in the future

I rarely give anything 5 stars, but this is seriously a miracle worker for my hair! At first upon reading the directions for this mask I was a little skeptical. Nowhere on amazon does it say it's not a leave in conditioner... I was thinking I could put it in my damp hair and go. At first I was thinking that I was definitely not going to wash my hair, get out of the shower and dry my hair, only to get back in and put the mask in to wash it out. I ended up just squeezing most of the water out of my hair then applying the mask (no towel dry needed). I definitely wouldn't leave this product in the shower though. It's doesn't seem to be too shower proof. I also applied the ultra curl cream after brushing my hair. The results after letting it air dry are amazing! I'm only in my 20's but my hair has seen its share of damage. It felt like straw. This mask brings me back to my pre teens when I just washed my hair, brushed it, and let it dry. Before I used straighteners, curling irons, bleaching treatments, and sea salt sprays. My husband even mentioned the smell and softness if my hair! I think I'll buy this as a gift for my sister, who has the same woes about her hair that I used to have!

My hair was so damaged from hair color. I ordered a few products to try and I've been really happy with this one. It makes my hair soft and manageable. It doesn't have that dried up colored look anymore. I highly recommend it.

UPDATE: I didn't care for this the first few times that I used it. I still don't think that it's necessarily making my hair healthier overall (which is what I bought it for in the first place as I'm trying to grow it out, and that's why I'm not giving it a 5), but when I use it, it does noticeably improve the look and feel of my hair immediately afterward, giving it a shiny look and soft, silky feel. It also helps my hair stay untangled, it seems. When I first started using it, I thought it gave my hair a heavy, residue-y feel, but I'm thinking now that that may have been due to something else I was using on it at the time, or maybe I was leaving it in too long, or using too much, because I haven't had that problem with it lately. Just follow the instructions and you will have results right away. For reference, I am of European descent and have very thick, slightly wavy hair. If I find over time that the health of my hair overall has significantly improved and I think it's largely due to this product, I will come back and update my review again.

Love this for my frizzy, dry, curly hair. Just really wish it was dispensed different. my hands always were wet in the shower so I didn't like how hard it was to open the lid and get to the product. It was a weird shape to store in the shower. It fell off my shower shelf and cracked the side completely open and lost a lot of product

I use this about once a week. It makes my hair soft and shiny, plus I enjoy the clean smell of it. It does seem to weigh down my curls/waves. This could be a good or bad thing depending on how I want to style it a particular day.

(posted by wife)I have long hair and the ends have become very dry after repeatedly dying my hair. I needed a hair mask and looked for something on Amazon and noticed the stellar reviews on this product. The first time I tried it, I decided to leave it in my hair for about 30 minutes before washing it out as one of the reviewers mentioned. After doing this, I noticed my hair turned super soft and healthy looking! I was able to run my fingers through my hair very easily and loved the soft feeling. I also like the way it leaves your hair smelling! Now the instructions say that suggested use is once or twice a week, but because it worked so well for me I decided to use it as a replacement for conditioner. I wash my hair every other day and instead of leaving it in for 30 minutes, I would use it like a conditioner and rinse it out after 2 minutes. It still works well, but overtime I noticed it's become less effective. Maybe because I've been using it like a conditioner. I think you should leave it in your hair longer in each session (about 10 minutes) and don't use it so often like me. With every product, I think your hair gets used to it and it becomes less effective.It's been several months and I try to use it

I wanted to write this review for those who have virgin hair, like myself, as I couldn't find much below. Virgin hair is undyed/unpermed hair. If you shamppo and condition regularly, your hair is fairly soft to begin with. This product works best for DAMAGED hair to repair and soften. For me, this hair mask does make my hair feel softer the day I apply it but the day after, it feels the same.Using this mask is simple, simply apply this product generously into your hair and comb it to even out the mask all over your head. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes (although longer wouldn't hurt). You are supposed to do this 2 times a week.However, I must say the smell is AMAZING. It clings to your hair faintly the next day which is a plus. If you don't like the smell, it could be easily masked with hair spray or conditioner.I'll update this review after using this product for a while longer. Will post if any changes happen.

I have dark hair I've been dying into blonde submission for a year or so now..and it's finally had enough. I know I need to stop because my hair is getting brittle and dry..maybe next time. Anyway, I purchased this to help alleviate some of the frizz and grossness. I'd go with 3 stars on that one, it feels great right after you rinse it out but I haven't seen any long term effects after using it 3x week for 3 weeks. That said, the non-highlighted pieces of my hair are receiving this better. They are more shiny and soft so..I gave it 4 stars. It's not going to reverse self inflicted damage, but it'll help you people just looking to improve dryness and frizz on non-damaged hair.

After the first used my hair was noticeably more silky and smooth. But it was not the same the 2nd or third time around. Not quite sure what happened because I did the same technique I had as I did when I first used this product.

came unsealed without any special packaging, makes me wonder where it came from (maybe packed in my neighbor's basement lol). I have used it a couple of times, and it does make my hair soft and silky though. So far so good (the neighbors are good I suppose haha)

So many rave reviews, but this didn't do any more for me than any other deep conditioner. However, I will say that I do have fine hair and that it did not weight it down.I'm sure that it does have Argan oil in it but in this concentration, doubtful that l it can penetrate the hair shaft.You would be better off just buying some Argan oil and using it on towel dried hair.

Former hairdresser---I've used all the professional products out there-as well as naturapthic shampoos and conditioners. This product is over priced-yes it does smell good -but there are other products out there that so a lot better. I leave in my hair and rinse the next day-just average as far as conditioning. Update- after writing the review I decided to try another product I had used previously " Nexus Pro mend" and nexus Polymedic emergency reconstructor" (deep conditioning for damages hair) Bc of the experience of highlighting /coloring my hair and my daughters hair -I Know that damaged hair can be repaired -(just like burning your skin ) I had highlighted and colored my hair 4 days ago-2 chemical processes that left my hair very dry. I used this product first few days and it was ok to say the least. Last night I applied the Polymedic reconstructor (slept in it -as well as this product first few days) and the difference the next morning with Nexus was undeniably twice as good!

It's okay but I think I'll try something else next time. I have color treated hair. In the past, it was highlighted and I dyed over the highlights with permanent dye twice. I haven't been very careful or gentle with my hair so it's slightly damaged and I have dry ends. I've been looking for a good conditioner to help soften it and make it more manageable. Most of the time I used it as a normal conditioner but once I used it as an all-night hair mask; the results were the same no matter how long I left it on. I'd say it's a good conditioner compared to other ones I've tried but it's not amazing. Still looking for the one for me.

This is a pretty good conditioning product. I use it about once a week and it leaves my curls looking very healthy, but when I straighten my hair my roots look a little greasy so I have to use dry shampoo right after washing my hair, although it is possible I use too much of the product. I don't really feel like this is a must-have product, but it is helpful for dry ends. Great customer service, they checked in with me to make sure I liked the product and sent me a 15% discount toward my next purchase. Not sure if I'll be buying again though.

This stuff works ok. I notice my hair is softer on the days I've use it but not beyond. I don't think there's any real benefit to using it. The stench is terrible, is migraine-inducing, and stays on my hair and skin. Because the stench triggers migraines, it's not worth using.

I don't think this works any better than gobs of conditioner. I have thick, curly, very processed hair. Wanted to try this since it's cheaper than the It's a 10 mask I had been using per my hairdresser's suggestion. After trying this one for a few weeks, I just didn't feel enough of a difference to continue using it. I switched back to my other one.

I bought this product because it has great reviews, and I know how great Argan Oil can be in hair masks, so I was really excited about that, as my normal hair mask I buy uses it as their main ingrediant. Unlike my normal hair mask, who has argan oil listed as the first ingredient, this Advazallia mask has it quite far down on the list. Alcohol is even listed before the argan oil. This product contains EDTA, and a ton of ingredients that aren't good for you, or for your hair. I will be returning asap. As for the smell, it smells exactly like Pantene to me, which isnt a good smell. I honestly do notice a LITTLE difference in the texture of my hair, but not by much.

Used this product to deep condition my hair and I almost cried. My hair was so knotted and could not comb out. I tried every conditioner I had to de-tangle my hair to no avail. At the end I lost a good portion of my hair before I could finally comb it out. I will not be purchasing this product again. That is for sure. My hair is natural and soft and thin, can't believe this product did that to my hair.

I looked at my hair and went "woah". And not in the good kind of way. I usually love anything that has argan oil in it and have tried a few argan oil masks. But this stuff....it leaves a strange residue on my hair and makes it frizzy. I don't really feel the "nourishment" unless I'm putting it on in the shower. And even then it doesn't feel like it's penetrating through my hair. Feels like it's just sitting on top of it. I've used it about twice now and my hair actually feels more tangled. I think Art Naturals Argan Oil Hair Mask is better, and it's the same price so I'm gonna stick to that. This stuff is likely just better for different hair types. Mine is thin, but dense asian hair that has been lightly processed.

I have thin, dry, naturally, wavy hair. I live in Florida so it is always humid and I am always at the beach. I have a very hard time finding conditioners that really make my hair soft and manageable. I had high hopes for Arvazallia's hydrating argan oil hair mask after reading all the reviews. Unfortunately it didn't live up to hype. I was truly disappointed. My hair didn't feel any softer or look any healthier after several uses.

There must be something fishy! How can this product be a best seller or worst have more than 3 stars? Am I missing something here?I am very picky about my hair. I have tried many many products and I spend a lot of money on my hair. This conditioner is nothing special. it hardly detangles your hair and that is about it! The smell is harsh. I have dry frizzy hair and this weighs it down. No shine provided. Dont waste your money.. there are much better conditioners in the supermarket at half the price

I'm not against perfumes in the hair/skincare products, but this one has overpowering smell. I had to discontinue using it !!

Does not work.

It doesn't do anything for me. My hair isn't any softer, it doesn't even feel conditioned at all. Pantene works better. And it doesn't even smell good. I recommend you keep looking if you're looking for a hair mask or deep conditioner I'd keep looking.

-----EDITED------Since Arvazallia didn't like the fact that I bashed their marketing tactics (see their sweet response below), let's remove that part of my review and stick with just my opinion on the product.So, here's the deal. This is nothing more than a thick conditioner. Conditioner is always good for your hair, so if you just want a conditioner in a fancy red tub, it's fine. It actually made my hair feel heavy and I felt like I had a gross residue...like I didn't wash all the conditioner out of my hair, even though I definitely did. I hate the smell. It smells like cheap old woman. It has 0 benefits aside from just being a conditioner. It didn't repair my hair, didn't make a miraculous difference in the texture of my hair. I was hoping for something that was actually "repairing" with argan oil being a main ingredient. I wanted something to continually make an actual difference in my hair, rather than offering superficial repair with silicones - which weigh my hair down and make it look greasy.Since they fail to list the ingredients anywhere in the description...let's talk about them so that people better understand the rating I gave:Amodimethicone, Trideceth-12 & Cetrimonium Chloride - These 3 work as a triad, which is why they are all listed together. This silicon is really beneficial for most people's hair. It will create a thin coat, particularly where there is a lot of damage, smooth down the cuticle and provide superficial "repair" to your hair. This is why your hair will feel much smoother and appear much shinier after using this product. This is great! Very logical that this "deep conditioner" contains this ingredient. Does this make your product superior to others? No. In fact, the majority of conditioners at CVS contain this ingredient. Hence my assessment that this was a "thick conditioner in a fancy red tub" - because...well, it is. I can find this same ingredient in a $2 bottle of conditioner.Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone - a duo of silicons. Very common in beauty products. Works very similar to our triad friends above. Only downside - it builds up in hair over time. Hence my assessment that my hair had a residue. Because...well...it did.Hydroxyethylcellulose - this is a thickening agent. This makes the conditioner thick, but it also provides conditioning properties to hair. It absorbs water in your hair and swells to make the hair feel thicker. Again, not a bad thing - but very common in hair products. Nothing revolutionary about it.Argania Spinoza Kernel Oil - is it 100% pure?Teartrimonium - Anti-static.Tetrasodium EDTA - Preservative.Citric acid - Clearly "acid" - but not in a bad way. Citric acid in conditioner helps the hair appear shiny and smooth.Methylchloroisothiazolinone/ Methylisothiazolinone - preservative. Actually toxic to fish.So, basically what we have here is a lot of silicones, a thickening agent, a wee bit o' argan oil and preservatives. It probably does make a lot of people's hair feel amazing, but for some people with curly or very thin hair...this may cause the issues I experienced. Heavy, coated hair. Is it repairing hair? No. Can I find a $2 conditioner with a majority of these ingredients? Probably. So, as much as you want to go on the defense about your marketing tactics, my review was product based - and a fair review at that.

This product gets great reviews so I gave it a try. My hair has been so dry recently it is breaking . The 1st use I used as directed, It left my hair oily and yet dry at the same time. I had to wash my hair a couple times to remove the oil so that another conditioner could moisturize my hair. I decided to try again -not as directed- using less on top of another conditioner to try to seal in the moisturized hair. The not as directed way worked better but so far In my two uses ,this stuff is not great or even better than a drug store conditioner. The smell I think is unnecessarily strong and gives me a slight headache, also the tub I received says Made in China. Other Argan oil products have not worked well for my hair type either but this was worth a try based on price and reviews.UPDATE6/13/15 I just found out that reviews can be filtered by verified purchases out of the 1500 or so reviews on this product 140 are actually verified purchases-also among the verified purchases all the critical reviews including mine have been marked not helpful. Some people just do not like the strong smell or the way it works on their hair. Some people love this conditioner too and good for them!- however the results on my hair and several others were left with dryer hair after using this- why was this marked not helpful?? The fact that it is made in a county that has very low quality control such as allowing melamine in baby formula and pet food - is a legit concern for some people. I have reduced my 2 stars down to 1 star because clearly some sleezy marketing tactics are involved. Since good reviews matter to me prior to a purchase-had I known so little of the 1500 reviews were actually verified purchases- I would not have even bought this product in the first place.
