TapaReef Pre-Swim Hair Mask with Baobab Protein (8.5 oz Tube)

I got this because I swim in the ocean and pools, but it is so much more than a swim mask! First, there is no flaking of the cream itself. Just wanted to address other reviews because I was concerned about that. TapaReef Pre-Swim Hair Mask is a creamy consistency, thicker than conditioner, more like a hair cream. I just rub a small amount, between my hands and then run it through the length of my hair (my hair is long, past my shoulders). This makes a great leave in conditioner if you have wavy or curly hair like me. If I use it as a leave-in treatment to tame the frizz I use maybe half a dime size up to a dime size, if I'm going swimming I use a tad bit more. You don't need much at all, easy to overdo if you get too excited, the same way it's easy to grab too much sunscreen, so just start with a little bit. I now use it as a leave-in conditioner on the daily because it works better at taming my wavy/curly hair than anything else I've tried. No need to reapply later in the day because this stuff works that well. I'm guessing this tube will last 6 months to a year because only a dab is used each time. YOU DONT NEED TO BE A SWIMMER FOR THIS, use it as a mask just because!

Does what it is supposed to...but note that the product forms clumps that look like big pieces of dandruff after you get done in the pool and choose to 'just rinse it' before doing errands, etc.,I made the mistake of just rinsing and coming into a bun (without looking into the mirror) before running errands this way; boy, did I get profiled as a dirty/unclean girl at the grocery store! Don't do it.As long as you have time to really wash or use a co-wash product in your hair after swimming, I think this product is fine. I will use it until it runs out but probably not buy it again.

This product is terrible! Product smelled strong and rather mold like. I put this in my hair and within seconds it clumped up and produced flakes of wax all through my hair. I spent the day smelly and looking like I had dandruff.

I liked the product and I feel it protected my red hair. The only problem was, it was s Little chunky and left some white pieces in my hair.

Loved how my hair looked in the beach!

Good product, really works to protect your hair if used as directed.

The consistency was so flaky and did not absorb into the hair. A waste of money.

Able to swim with dyed hair again!

Even works for my fine, blond, porous, coloured hair. Best results if you wet your hair first, then apply a generous amount, then put your swim cap on. This easily becomes part of your routine when you arrive at the pool.
