Concept Fusion Restoring Mask Review: Is It Worth It?

A Second Chance for Concept Fusion: My Honest Take on the Restoring Mask

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'm giving Concept Fusion another shot with their restoring mask. For 400 rubles, I got 500 ml of product, which is a steal. The instructions are a bit much, but I'm a simple gal when it comes to hair care. I've been using it for a week, and here's the lowdown.

Hello again!

I've reviewed the Concept Fusion hair care line before, and let's just say it hasn't exactly blown me away. But I'm a curious person, and I love trying out new products, so I figured I'd give them another shot. I picked up the restoring mask from Concept Fusion at Magnet for 400 rubles, which is an amazing price for 500 ml. Some salons in the city use this line, and I've mentioned before that it's worth noting.

The instructions say to use the mask after shampooing, followed by a conditioner and spray. That's a lot of steps, but I'm a simple gal when it comes to hair care, and I've never been a fan of Concept's shampoos. I've tried a few other products from the line, and I've got to say, I'm underwhelmed.

The ingredients in Concept aren't exactly natural, but a lot of high-end masks have chemical compositions too. I've made my own masks before using beer, eggs, and gelatin – it was fun, but I didn't see any great results. We were just kids at the time, so we didn't have much money. We had to get creative with what we had.

I'm not sure why Concept Fusion is marketed as a professional line, but it's not exactly what I'd call a game-changer. I've tried a few other products from the line, and I've got to say, I'm disappointed.

The transparent lid inside kept falling down, which was a bit of a pain. To get to the mask, I had to turn the bottle upside down. Not exactly the most convenient design.

The texture of the Fusion mask isn't super thick, but the scent is nice. Sorry for the weird photo, but that's what I got!

One thing I've noticed about the entire Concept Fusion line is that they all smell the same. It's a bit of a turn-off, to be honest.

My hair doesn't feel super moisturized, which is kind of what I was hoping for. It feels like the mask kind of glued my hair together – not exactly what I'm looking for in a hair treatment.

One good thing I will say is that my hair was super easy to comb out after using the mask. That's about it, though. Is it worth buying? I don't know, you'll have to decide for yourself.

I've tried a few other products from the Concept Fusion line, and I've got to say, I'm not impressed. They all have the same design, just with different names and packaging. When I see salons using products like this, I'm like, 'next time, I'm going somewhere else.'

The Concept Fusion Detox Balance mask just didn't do it for me because:

I didn't see any moisturizing effects;there was no noticeable repair or restoration;the transparent cap kept falling off;the texture was way too runny;the price was way too high for what you get.I've also tried a few other products from the Concept Fusion line:

I was really looking forward to trying out this sulfate-free shampoo, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.The 'Detox' shampoo was another product I was excited to try, but unfortunately, it didn't do much for my hair.The moisturizing conditioner was a nice touch, but it's not the game-changer I was hoping for.I also picked up a conditioner for damaged hair, but it's not something I'd recommend to anyone with healthy locks.I have to say, I was really underwhelmed by this product line.

I only gave it 2 stars out of 5, and that's being generous. If you've got amazing hair, you might find this mask works for you, but if your hair is damaged or prone to breakage, you'll be disappointed.

Thanks for reading!

live_helpFeatured FAQ

Is the restoring mask from Concept Fusion worth the money?

Honestly, it's a mixed bag. The price is great, but the product itself could be better. It's worth a try if you're looking for a cheap, decent hair mask, but don't expect it to blow you away.

Can I use the restoring mask on dry hair?

No, the instructions say to use it after shampooing, followed by a conditioner and spray. I'm not a fan of the extra steps, but I guess it's worth it if you want to see results.

Is the restoring mask good for damaged hair?

I'm not sure – I've got pretty normal hair, so I'm not the best person to ask. But I do know that it doesn't leave my hair feeling particularly nourished or moisturized, so I'm not sure it's the best choice for damaged locks.

Can I return the restoring mask if I don't like it?

I'm not sure – I didn't try to return it, so I can't speak to the process. But I would imagine it's pretty standard, so you should be able to get a refund or exchange it for something else.

Is the restoring mask good for color-treated hair?

I'm not sure – I've got pretty normal hair, so I'm not the best person to ask. But I do know that it doesn't seem to have any special benefits for color-treated hair, so I'd be cautious if you've got colored locks.

Can I use the restoring mask on my scalp?

I wouldn't recommend it – the instructions say to use it on your hair, not your scalp. I'm not sure what would happen if you used it on your scalp, but I'd rather not risk it.

Is the restoring mask good for dry hair?

I'm not sure – I've got pretty normal hair, so I'm not the best person to ask. But I do know that it doesn't seem to have any special benefits for dry hair, so I'd be cautious if you've got super dry locks.

Can I use the restoring mask with other hair products?

I'm not sure – I didn't try to mix it with other products, so I can't speak to the results. But I would imagine it's pretty standard, so you should be able to use it with other hair care products without any issues.
