Product review: Espa’s Pink hair and scalp mud
RRP £29.00 for 180ml
Rating: ** (out of 5)
Review by: Alexa Williamson
Overall, Espa is a good upmarket ‘natural’ brand (similar to Decléor in this sense) that uses fewer synthetics in their products than most beauty companies. Coming across this product at the Rookery Hall Spa, I was enticed to buy it because of its light (almost gorse-like – oddly somewhere in between earthy, coconut and flower) smell.
Keeping the frizz out of my hair is a regular challenge, and priced at £29.00 for 180ml, I was hoping this would do the trick. Instructions: you leave it in for as long as you like on dry/wet hair, but 20 mins is the minimum and keeping it on overnight is recommended for “intense conditioning”.
Slathering the stuff on is lots of fun. It’s literally playing with lovely, squishy mud. However, it did not live up to its claim to deliver deep conditioning, despite my leaving it on for at least five hours on two occasions.
Although it made my hair shinier, as claimed, it was very hard to get a comb through it. At this price, I don’t think it’s worth the money and that the synthetic, deep-conditioning sachets that you can buy at the chemist/pharmacy, for 99p, are much better value.
