I got myself this Trader Joe’s Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask as a consolation prize last weekend because I went up and down every single aisle and scanned every shelf, but I couldn’t find my beloved Rose Oil Hand Cream, boo-hoo! So I got this thinking, “Yay! This will tide me over, and whatevs — it’s only $3.99, so it’s not the end of the world if I don’t like it.”
Girlfriend.
This mask is just as good as the fancy-schmancy Oribe one I used a couple months ago at the salon. It’s actually great, and it costs less than a latte!
I’ve used it twice, but I’m already dreading the day I walk into the shower and find it empty…
It’s a deep-conditioning mask for dry and/or damaged hair, but I think anyone looking for serious moisture or frizz control can use it. Overall, my hair is pretty healthy right now, but I can always use extra moisturize, which is why I wanted to try it.
I use it when I shower in the evenings, leaving it on for five minutes (it smells lightly of coconuts), and let my hair air dry overnight. The next morning, my hair looks GOOD, like I’m living in a hair commercial. I can even see light reflecting off the strands! It has lots of bounce and shine, and it isn’t out-of-control frizzy. It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a heavy hair helmet, either.
It looks so good that I even skip using any additional smoothing or shine styling products.
And did I mention that it’s only $4??
The ingredient list reads like a recipe for a homemade hair mask. There’s shea butter and coconut oil (obvs), along with a whole host of other hydrating helpers, like argan oil and vitamin E, and plant extracts, too, like blackberry, sunflower seed, black current and mulberry, among others.
It isn’t silicone-free, though, in case you were wondering. It does contain dimethicone and amodimethicone, but they’re both listed down near the bottom of the list. For what it’s worth, this doesn’t feel like one of those heavy product masks that’s filled with silicone and coats your hair in a thick layers of goo.
Living for this! I’m gonna go back and grab at least three more tubes…
You’ve been killing it in the beauty department, TJ’s!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Thanks for the recommendation!!! Been eyeing this product and now that I know it’s good going to get it as soon as possible!!! Trader Joe’s has been killin it in the beauty department!!
Hi Jewel,
Please, please tell me you picked up a tube of the Rose Oil Hand Cream! It’s SO good!
I never got the rose oil hand cream! ?now I have 2 items I know I have to get!!!!
The rose had cream back in stock!!! I just picked up 3 tubes (and the hair conditioner for my waist length, coarse, “I live in the mountains and have hard water and am almost 40 but just had my first child” hair)!
Oh man. I don’t hit up TJ’s very often because I hate the parking lot of the one in town, and it’s in a location I just don’t drive by, but this sounds right up my alley (and way more affordable than the Redken mask I’ve been using)
I have three within driving distance and luckily the one with the best parking situation is in my town. #blessed If you can go during an off hour (like early on the weekends) so you can stock up on a couple tubes of this mask along with some snacks. You’re gluten-free, right? I can recall there being lots of gluten-free foods at TJ’s.
So I’ve been able to eat gluten with few problems recently (yay!), but they do have a good selection (including the best GF cupcakes). I can’t eat peanuts though!
After your post the other week I looked for the rose hand cream at my TJ’s and they didn’t have it but I did pick up the regular ultra hand cream and I do like that one!
Update on the OPI nail polish that is supposed to last 11 days: I had 8 days looking not too bad. In fairness, I think this is a product that works better if you paint your nails relatively well. I, on the other hand, tend to paint my nails like a first grader who’s also trying to watch a movie at the same time. But I will be probably buying those nail polishes from now on instead of my regular Target Essie polishes.
Getting this mask tomorrow!
The rose oil hand cream is available at Amazon !
Just sayin
is it better than just straight Coconut oil?
I’ve been on the hunt for all the hair masks because this never-ending winter has made my hair so dry! Over the weekend I bought a couple of the new 1-minute hair masks from Garnier and I’m loving the strengthening one. It has banana extract in it and smells so good.
I’m definitely going to give this a try. I love a good, cheap hair product!
I’m obsessed with the Rose Facial Oil, and I was eyeing this the other day. Thanks for the tip!! I’ll def give it a try at some point.
Hi Karen, I’m always looking for inexpensive hair care products. Thank you for the recommendation. You can’t go wrong with $4!
I’ve been pretty impressed with the majority of the beauty products I’ve picked up from Trader Joe’s the last couple years, and they are always a terrific value! I got this hair mask last month and LOVE it. Found 100% organic argan oil for $6 a little while back, and yesterday I saw a rose water facial toner that called to me…
As for hand cream – the hubkins HOARDS the one in the blue box (the Ultra Moisturizing one) like a doomsday prepper. We currently have 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the bedroom, 1 in the car, 1 in his desk at work, 1 in his bag, and 1 at my work. That doesn’t include the other 6 squirreled away as backups…
This is the BEST! I tried it on a whim and now it is a must have for me. IMO so much better (and easier to use!) than straight coconut oil. And the price……pa-Leeze! So inexpensive! (Not cheap because this hair mask is the complete opposite of cheap!) ❤️ it!
