Invati Advanced™ Intensive Masque - Maschera per capelli

Invati, Intensive hair and scalp masque

I tried the Invati hair and scalp masque after having great success with the other Invati products. However, it did not work for me. I had a bad reaction to my scalp as a result of using the Invati scalp masque. I continued using it hoping the benefits outweigh the bad scalp reaction. Big mistake. After using about half the tube I stopped the masque. The bad scalp reaction is almost all cleared up now. Unfortunately cannot get a refund.

I had noticeably thicker, fuller hair the next day, but. . .

I picked Invati Advanced intensive hair and scalp masque as one of my free samples with purchase and just used it for the first time last night. I have medium-thick hair with a mostly normal scalp. I worked in a generous amount through my hair and scalp after shampooing and conditioning and left it on over night. My hair is significantly thicker and fuller today and even feels heavier with none of my usual fly-aways and whispies. I really love the results! However, as I was working the product into my hair and scalp, I did notice more hair loss than usual - not as much as some other people seem to be experiencing, but definitely more my usual. To be fair, I'm going to try using the masque again next week, just by itself, so I can make sure the mask is causing the hair loss and not some other factor. I also just started using the Brilliance shampoo and conditioner, as I was getting scalp acne from using store-bought shampoo and wanted to switch to something all-natural. I live in a very dry climate and now that I've hit 40, I definitely need to start using an intensive masque to keep my hair moisturized. I hope I can keep using it - because it did thicken my hair significantly! I would recommend this product to a friend, but I would tell them to test it out first to make sure they don't experience sustained hair loss. If they do, they need to stop using it or maybe use it less often.

Really made a difference

My hair has really become fragile and finer with menopause and the dry climate. I have tried numerous products to try to gain back moisture and vitality and this one really works! It has made big difference in my hair, making it feel more supple and dense right after the first use. I use it as an overnight masque on dry hair and wash it out in the morning. It is a very expensive product, but I am willing to pay for the result.

:( To Write This Kind of Review

Before investing in Invati Advanced I spoke with a CSR to see if if the product line would be compatible with my hair & skin type. The line is supposed to reduce hair loss by 53%, however after 3 weeks use I had increased hair loss without letup. I really wanted to believe in this line as I had successfully used Pure Abundance in the past so I patiently tried to wait out the recommended 12 wks. The loss was so significant I'd cry as my scalp became more and more visible & an Aveda salon specialist advised reaching out to Aveda (7wks use) and they advised discontinuing immediately with full refund. That would normally be sufficient, but is this damage permanent? I reached out scared of what to wash/condition with now and desperate for suggestions how to manage the damage but to no avail. After many transfers including a department that took batch/lot #s from the bottles, nobody can advise how to care for my scalp/hair damage. This review will probably auto-generate a response to reach out to them, but will they be able to help after I've exhausted my outreach with several calls and half dozen reps? It's one thing if a product cannot deliver as promised, it's another if it does completely opposite as promised AND causes damages, AND NO support to the consumer experiencing damages. My hair loss experience with this line doesn't seem to be the first so I advise anyone thinking about trying this line with fine thin hair to maybe photograph your scalp before use just in case. So sorry to have to write this kind of review.
