The Hair Balm That Left Me Speechless - A Crazy Experience with Estel's Princess Essex
add_circle Pros
- The packaging is modern and looks nice on the shelf.
- It's easy to find in stores, but that's not exactly a selling point.
- The scent is pleasant, but who cares when you're losing your hair?
- It's affordable, but so are a lot of other hair balms that won't strip you of your hair.
- The price is right, but like I said, there are better options out there.

- My hair fell out in clumps - literally thousands of hairs per brushing.
- I lost a quarter of my hair in just a month, which is just plain crazy.
- My mom had the same experience, which made us both super suspicious of the product.
- The hair loss was so bad that I started to feel like I was going bald.
- I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than use this balm again.

Editor's Summary
I used Estel's Princess Essex hair balm for a month and it was a total disaster. I lost a quarter of my hair, and it's not just me - my mom had the same experience. The packaging looks sleek, but the product itself is a recipe for disaster. I'd advise against using it, especially if you value your hair.
Specifications
I recently had a wild experience with a hair balm that completely blew me away - and not in a good way. I bought Estel's Princess Essex hair balm on my stylist's recommendation, and she swore it was amazing, so I decided to give it a shot. The price was 300 rubles for 1 liter, and I picked it up back in 2017.
From the very first use (I made sure to apply it only to the ends of my hair, not the roots), I noticed an insane amount of hair falling out. I brushed it off as my hair's state after giving birth, but I'd already taken a ton of vitamins and was feeling great. Fast forward to a month later, and my hair was still falling out in clumps. I'd count around 1,000 hairs on my brush after just one comb-through - yes, I counted them!
My hair used to be super thick and luscious, but after using this balm, I was left with a quarter of my original hair. It was like a nightmare come true.
But here's the kicker: my mom used the same balm, and she experienced the same hair loss. We were both shocked, and it wasn't until we realized that the balm was the common denominator that we put two and two together.
I stopped using it immediately, and I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong. Was it a counterfeit product or a bad formula? The next time I washed my hair with a different balm, all my hair stayed put. It's been a month now, and I'm still amazed by how well my hair has recovered.
As for the Estel balm, I decided to use it only on areas where I didn't want hair to grow. And guess what? It actually works! My hair growth slowed down, and the new hair is much weaker.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this experience. Was it a one-off or a widespread issue? I have no idea, but I'm glad I can share my story with you.
