Miriam Quevedo- Intensive AntiAging Hair Mask

Miriam Quevedo- Extreme Caviar Intensive Anti-Aging Hair Masque

This luxurious, anti-aging hair masque was my second introduction to the Miriam Quevedo skin and haircare brand. (Here’s my feature on the Miriam Quevedo Black Baccara Weekend Peel Serum). Like her extraordinary exfoliating serum, this anti-aging hair masque delivered on its promises, which are to reverse the sign of hair aging by repairing dry, damaged hair strands and restoring natural shine.

Most importantly, I first checked that this hair masque is devoid of parabens, phthalates and petrolatum. Parabens, as many of you may have heard, is a highly controversial ingredient that some in the cosmetic industry claim is harmless while others say it is potentially cancer causing. As someone with both grandmothers who passed away from two different types of cancers, I am rightfully ultra sensitive when it comes to hunting for products that err on the side of caution. Quevedo’s hair masque is also free of mineral oils and paraffin.

The hair masque is housed in a purple hued bottle that has a twist top where the masque squeezes out. You have to turn the bottle upside down and my only complaint about this product is that the bottle is a little bit difficult to squeeze, especially with wet hands.

My first time slathering the masque on my wet hair after shampooing, I could feel its richness immediately. The masque imparts a subtle, lovely orchid-like scent as I left it on for about 10 minutes. Upon rinsing is when I knew immediately this masque was a winner. For those of you who have tried a hundred different deep conditioners and masks, you know what I’m talking about. There are some products that upon rinsing just slide off your hair as if it couldn’t wait to part ways. Other products are a pain to rinse out because they’re too thick and oily. The good products sit somewhere in the middle where they rinse off after some decent water pressure but neither cling to nor release the hair strands. The great products, like this Caviar Anti Aging Masque, take a couple of minutes to rinse out but leave an immediate silky sensation, as if to announce, “our army of hair repairers did their job.” In a funny cartoon scenario, I always imagine there’s a miniature army of smurf-like creatures that run all over the strands slathering on all the nutrients from the hair masque into any dry or cracked spots on the hair strand.

After gently squeezing out excess water from my hair and lightly towel blotting, I touched my hair and sure enough, I was met with soft, silken strands. Post blowdry, I saw the immediate smoothing effects such that after 2 days, I had no frizziness and no messy flyaways. I now use the Miriam Quevedo Extreme Caviar Anti-Aging Hair Masque as my thrice a week conditioner. If you have thick, naturally wavy hair like mine, you will love this masque. The masque is made for all hair types, especially dry or color treated hair. Depending on your hair type, simply dial down or up the number of times you use the masque each week, from every time you wash your hair (like me) to once a week as a special treatment if you have oily or fine hair.

Some of the powerful ingredients in this luxurious hair masque include:

Caviar: Essential amino acids, structuring peptides, proteins, essential fatty acids and trace elements. Intensely protects both hair and scalp and restructures broken down Keratin, all while restoring hydration, strength, and elasticity for more vibrant, youthful-looking hair.

5 Trace Elements Complex:  Made up of magnesium, iron, zinc, copper and silicium it provides cells with critical nutrients to ensure strong division of cells and optimal hair growth.

Multi-vitamin B Complex: Cocktail of five B vitamins (Thiamine – B1, Riboflavin -B2, Nicotinamide – B3, Pantenol- B5, and Pyridoxine – B6), defends against oxidative stress, increases the protective and regenerative properties of hair´s natural keratin and promotes healthy hair growth.

Proteins Rich in Sulfur Amino Acids: Regulates sebaceous gland activity

Marine Collagen Peptide: Provides softening and conditioning effects while creating a protective film from root to tip and repairs damaged hair.

DNA: Prevents mistakes in protein formation.

Shea Butter: Intensely moisturizes and nourishes

Hydrolyzed Keratin Peptide: Repairs, replenishes and protects Keratin, the key structural component found in hair. Smoothes hair’s surface resulting in a natural and beautiful luster while creating a protective film to protect against thermal damage. Restores hair fiber giving it body, volume and shine.

Marine Collagen Peptide: Provides softening and conditioning effects while creating a protective film from root to tip and repairs damaged hair.

After several months of use now, I have arrived at the point where literally every time I’m in a meeting or see friends, everyone is commenting on how beautiful my hair is. I’d love to say I was born with it but the truth is, I get a little help from Miriam Quevedo.
