JOICO - K-PAK ReconstrRx Vapor Iron
How many other gals out there like me, desperately need to wrangle hair with a flat iron but hate to deal with the damaging effects of heat styling? I'm sure the answer is most of you. I've tried many, many heat protection products and restructuring treatments on the market to help revitalize my hair after the effects of my flat iron have taken toll. What if we could skip the fixing process and keep our hair healthy while using a flat iron? Or even better, what if a flat iron would FIX the existing damage and keep our hair healthy even with long term use? Not possible you say? JOICO says otherwise.
The JOICO K-PAK ReconstrRx Vapor Iron has to be by far the coolest new product to hit the beauty industry in recent months. This tiny but powerful 1.25" flat iron boasts vented ceramic/silicone hybrid plates and quick adjustable temperature control in a wide range (284° F to 410° F) in seconds. The features of this tiny wonder sound pretty cool but can it really live up to the variety of hair claims? Including decreasing hair breakage by over 40%*, reduce daily color loss (due to shampooing and thermal styling) by 33.5%*, and minimizing curl reversion even after 12 hours in 90% humidity*. [*When used with ReconstRx VaporFuel, compared to the leading professional flat iron.] First things first, what do you even get with this nifty appliance?
Presenting the JOICO K-PAK ReconstrRx Vapor Iron kit. This kit includes the ReconstrRx VaporIron, ReconstrRx VaporFuel 3.4oz, step-by-step styling brochure, and instructional DVD featuring Joico Artistic Director Damien Carney. I've watched the K-PAK ReconstrRx Vapor Iron videos available online through Joico already and I must say, this new iron is already pretty high on my wish list. While the iron itself is revolutionary with the hybrid plates as well as Vapor technology, there's a bigger player contributing to the amazing effectiveness of this iron and that is the
K-PAK ReconstrRx VaporFuel.
The ReconstrRx VaporFuel is really where all the restructuring components come into play. This is a liquid which transforms to vapor when used in the K-PAK ReconstrRx Vapor Iron. Features include...
Quadramine Complex® to reconstruct and protect hair from the cuticle to the cortex (outer layer to interior layer of hair)
Antioxidants to protect hair against damaging free radicals (which are found in everyday environment)
Essential fatty acids to restore shine, flexibility and manageability while balancing moisture levels (naturally found in the hair and can be depleted over time)
Botanical moisturizers to replenish moisture and enhance softness (nature's best)
Featherweight silicones, which lock in moisture and seal the cuticle to eliminate frizz and deliver intense shine and smoothness to the hair (all without weighing hair down)
This little bottle of wonder may sound great but I'm sure many gals want to know how far their money will go with this. The answer isn't completely clear cut as hair density, length and method of styling will all affect how quickly the reservoir is depleted. Gals with fine hair will get five or more uses while those with very thick hair may be able to completely flat iron their hair two or three times.
I'm sure many are wondering the difference from popular steam flat irons versus the powerful K-PAK ReconstrRx Vapor Iron. A traditional steam iron is not an ideal option for everybody, especially very textured hair types. The steam will actually cause curl to form when attempting to straighten. The point of difference with JOICO is the ingredients in the K-PAK ReconstrRx VaporFuel. These ingredients are scientifically proven to reduce breakage by 40% versus use of the average professional iron. Also, the reason why the color claim is true (reduce daily color loss by 33.5%) is that the K-PAK ReconstrRx Vapor Iron smooths the cuticle down while the reconstructing healthy ingredients in the VaporFuel works to improve hair from the inside (cortex), out (cuticle).
