HAIR | YUKO


This review is long overdue and I'm shocked that I haven't talked about these products before on my blog. They're products that I find myself reaching for constantly as my hair absolutely loves them. YUKO was founded as a hair straightening system and it's now used in over 70,000 salons worldwide. Salons can be expensive so luckily for us, YUKO boast a homecare range that has been targeted at coloured hair, dry, chemically treated and frizzy hair. Ever since I ombred my hair, it's been extremely dry and damaged at the ends (despite still being oily at the roots) so I've been looking for light products that moisturise my hair without weighing it down.

Repair Through* - £15.00
This product really is a little star. Repair Through is marketed as a heat protector that you use on wet hair. I have pretty long hair that tangles up incredibly easy so I spritz this onto my hair after I've stepped out of the shower and immediately it's de-tangled. This product contains moisturising agents and amino acids which help to protect the hair whilst maintaining moisture, preventing damage and split ends. Essentially, this is a heat defence with the added benefit of being a leave-in conditioning spray. After blow drying my hair, my hair feels gorgeously soft and bouncy and I find myself constantly swishing my lovely locks around.

Anti-Frizz Serum* - £15.00
This serum is made with a unique blend of natural plant oils that aim to keep the hair soft, shiny and frizz free. During these hot summer weeks the UK have been experiencing, my usually tame hair has taken a turn for the worst - that's right, it's been a frizzy mess. And all I can say is; "thank god for this product." It instantly smooths the hair down and leaves it looking beautiful and frizz free. The formula is quite watery and at first, I found myself using way too much product so the key to this is to apply is sparingly - you really don't need a lot. I've been using this almost everyday and the product's barely gone down.

I adore both of these products. They work together extremely well and like I mentioned at the beginning of this post, none of them weigh my hair down. In fact, the Repair Through mist helps my hair look more bouncy. I also don't believe that the price of these are too bad. If you compare the price of these to the other salon brands then you'll notice that these are pretty middle end.
