Not a necessity

Disclaimer: I received Joico Hydrasplash Replenish Leave-In from ChickAdvisor to try in exchange for a review however, opinions are my own.

Although this product made my hair feel light and soft, I don't think it is necessary for people to buy it. I believe using Joico conditioner is good enough to achieve the same or similar result. To be honest, any product with Dimethicone would make your hair softer.

I'm unsure about their claim of making hair shiny as I didn't feel it made a difference to my hair (I have long, thin and straight hair). I wouldn't recommend this product as I find their conditioner to be more effective. I had the expectation that this product will give an extra boost of hydration to my hair but I didn't feel it did.

An Okay Leave-In

The Joico Hydra Splash Leave-In comes in an easy to dispense pump, which I found very convenient and easy to use. The scent was rather mild, but left my hair smelling clean and fresh.

A small amount of product dispersed easily through my long, thick hair and didn't leave it looking oily or greasy, which can tend to be a problem with leave in's for me. I don't generally wash my hair every single day and second day hair can tend to look oily with many leave-ins. This one still left my hair looking clean and fresh.

That being said, I experienced some static when using this, which isn't usually a problem with my hair - especially when using a good conditioner. I found it a little odd. It did seem to calm down and not be a huge issue, but I don't think this was as conditioning as my hair needed in this dry weather. It felt like it was an average product.

Good but again with the fragrance.

Price: 30 -ish cad (per ulta)

TLDR: go get the defy damage version instead,or cheaper stuff

Packaging:
Very Cute, I really love the look of Joico products it always makes you feel like you are getting salon stuff.

Product:
Like the other products in this line the fragrance is out of control. I've used this every time I've washed my hair for like a week and a bit now. (so maybe 3-4 times) It's nice and goes on just like other products like this from joico. It smooths out the hair, i don't fine it specially adds more moisture to my hair then normal leave ins. Nor did it make my hair particularly shiny but it's light weight and doesn't leave my hair greasy or heavy.

I wouldn't personally buy it as is nothing special but I will continue to use it and update this if my opinion changes after using it for a couple weeks.

Not something I would purchase

I did like the way left my hair but it’s main ingredient is dimethicone, so it’s all temporary!!
Silicone will weigh the hair down, making it limp, lifeless, and, with time, very dull. It prevents moisture from penetrating the hair shaft and becomes like a magnet for dirt and other ingredients. So in essence, we get a good shine for a couple of days, but over time it will attract more buildup on the hair. With time it will dry the hair out because it won’t allow in the conditioner and it ends up sitting on the surface. Due to lack of moisture, the hair will become very brittle and could lead to frizz and breakage

Not as Soft as I was Expecting

Thanks to Chick Advisor for sending me this product to try. I used this product on conjunction with the others, it didn't leave my hair quite as soft or silky as I was expecting. I was hoping for a bit more hydration so I don't think this is a product I will re-purchase.

possibility

im not sure about this leave in. i will have to try it again but i like to have a full complete hair care set with products that do not have horrible ingredients in them.

Ok, not awesome

It’s a good leave in, not awesome or outstanding product. It helps to detangle but is not so moisturizer as it claims to be. I still have frizz after use it.

Not for my curls!

I would definitely say this one is my least fave for my curls. I felt like it was too light weight for my curl type to use alone. So, I went in with a curl defining cream and my fave gel. I did this so I can style my hair and get more defined curls. This leave in's consistency was on the thinner side  and serum like. After my curls were completely dry I did notice some frizz.

Joico Hydra splash replenishing leave in

I received this product complimentary from Joico and Chickadvisor for testing purposes 💙

I honestly... Hated this. It was full of silicones, and it made my hair feel heavy, greasy, and gross. I did NOT LIKE IT at all! It was not hydrating, my hair just felt dry and nasty.
