My Review Of Prose, Custom Hair Care
I regret a couple of things from my teenage years; that puffy prom dress, those battered biker boots and more than a few questionable hairstyles. But, the thing I truly regret the most is the time I (attempted) to DIY bleach my hair blonde. My best friend convinced me that she could execute such a feat flawlessly at home. So, bent over her bathtub, she began the excruciating process. I’ll spare all of the mortifying details, I’ll just say that it resulted in one embarrassing yearbook photo, lots of hat wearing and years of dealing with dry, damaged hair. Good job 15-year-old me! In the years since, I have tried every known product in the haircare universe; from deep conditioning hair masks to nourishing Moroccan argan oil. To this day, every time I go to the hairdresser, I hopelessly fall for my stylists promise of saving my damaged hair by using whatever new and trendy product he had gotten his hands on that week. But no matter what I tried, I could never get my hair back to the quality it once was.
My search for healthy hair intensified when I recently got engaged and really wanted to make sure that my wedding day photographs would be perfect. I had given up all hope when one of my fellow yoga go’er’s told me about a customized hair care product that transformed her hopeless hair. Prose allows you to have an in-depth consultation, all you need to do is answer an online consultation to determine your hair’s most important needs. They choose from their portfolio of over 70 natural active ingredients to concoct a formula that will cater to your hair’s every need and they even have the option to make it silicone-free, gluten-free and even vegan. I wasn’t sure that it would work for me as nothing else had, but with my impending nuptials looming, I decided that it was worth a try.
The detailed consultation asked me questions like hair length, if it was dry or oily, if I had ever dyed it before (shudder) and even details about my diet. I was fascinated that the quiz also inquired where I will be spending the next two months so it can predict the climate and the effects it may have on my hair— something I had never even considered. Prose quickly calculated which ingredients would help my damaged hair the most and advised me that I needed a combination of nourishing good-for-you things like Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid, which repairs the hair’s core and creates a stronger outer layer, plant-based oils for conditioning and Horehound Extracts that fight against hair and scalp damage caused by pollution. I was super impressed with how personal and in-depth the recommendations were, and I ordered the shampoo, conditioner, and deep treatment (pre-shampoo!) mask right away. They guarantee a full refund if you are not totally happy with the results, which made the decision to try it so much easier.
About a week later, I was pleasantly surprised when I received my Prose order; the packing was sleek and sophisticated and even had my name on it! Eager to try it, I immediately jumped in the shower to wash my hair. The subtle, natural scent was so refreshing and I could feel a noticeable difference after the first use. After one full week using my trio of hair care products, my mane felt healthier than it had in a very long time. It was significantly less dry and even held a curl when I styled it; something it had never done before. I used to wash my hair every day, but with prose, I only need to wash it three times a week.
Prose has revitalized my hair in more ways than all of the other products I have used over the years and I truly feel like I’m on a journey to get my hair health back to pre-bleach state.
