[Product Review] Tony Moly Silky Glaze Shine Hair Mask


As promised, here is the product review I did for the Tony Moly Silky Glaze Shine Hair Mask! First things first, I absolutely love this mask. If you haven't check it out, I recently blogged about it in my June Favourites since I use it pretty much on a bi-weekly basis.
Ever have a day where your hair just feels like it's been in a desert and completely lacks the proper oils or moisture? Well that's like a commons scenario for me since I have super damaged and fried ends from colouring my hair. That's where the Tony Moly Silky Glaze Shine Hair Mask comes in. I rely on these kind of hair products to keep my hair moisturized and feeling healthy. The good thing about this mask is that it gives you the instant results and it smells ridiculously nice. Unlike some hair mask products where you leave it in for a couple minutes and when you wash it out, it doesn't feel any different; this mask does the opposite. Though this mask is a bit more time consuming (15-20 minutes for maximum results), the smooth, shiny texture appears the moment you rinse it out and it stays like that for a long time. I tend to use this product right after I've shampoo-ed and towel dried my hair. I suggest not applying this on soaking wet hair because the product will just slide right off. Generally I have nothing bad to say about this product asides from the fact that it won't show optimal results if you just leave it in for 5-10 minutes (hence I use another product if I'm looking for a quick fix). This is mainly used when I have a 'spa day' or a couple extra minutes to spare in the shower. I've also done a step by step process for those that can't read Korean and don't know how to use these hair masks. Check out the descriptions and procedure below!

  1. Shampoo and Towel Dry (Not shown in Picture) As simple as it is, make sure to get all the existing hair product or oil you might have in your hair for the maximum results!
  1. Open the Package to reveal the product and shower cap - The package itself is already separated into two compartments. All you need to do is open both so that you can access the hair product and the shower cap. 
  1. Apply Product directly onto your hair - Starting from your roots, gently apply the product onto your hair. I tend to use a 'combing' action when applying it so that the product is evenly distributed from the roots to the tips of my hair. Use up ALL the product for optimal results, in particularly to the ends of your hair or where you need more moisture.
  1. Let it sit - Twist your hair into a bun or tie it up and cover it with the shower cap. Let the cap do its magic for 15-20 minutes (30 minutes if you have extra time to kill). The product won't damage your hair so the longer you leave it in, the longer your hair has to bond with the product. 
  1. Rinse, Towel and Air Dry - After 15-20 minutes, rinse all the product out and apply some conditioner. Once you've rinsed everything out, towel dry your hair and let it air dry. Don't use any heated products on your hair because that will completely defeat the purpose! Just let it air dry so it gives your hair a break from all the heated products you might have used on it throughout the week.
Here's the Before and After photo! The lighting and picture isn't doing the product any justice but as you can see, the After picture on the right looks much 'shinier' than the one of the left! (No filters!)

Well there you have it! Quick step by step process on how to use this amazing Tony Moly Silky Glaze Shine Hair Mask I purchased from the Tony Moly shops in Korea. They cost about 3,000won each so that's roughly about $3 if you were to purchase it in Korea. There are quite a few online shops like Ebay or Gmarket that carry this product so make sure to check it out. Once again, I have not been paid to do these product reviews nor am I helping them advertise but they are mainly from my own experiences. Leave a comment below if there's another product you'd like me to review but for now, stay positive and Just Be Yourself.
