Review: Etude House Silk Scarf Moist Hair Mist



Hi guys, this is my second post! Today I will be reviewing a hair product. Etude House is probably my favorite Korean cosmetic brand. It's just so cute :) All of their products have girly/pretty packaging and I haven't come across any products I don't like by them yet. This is part of the Silk Scarf line of hair products, though I have yet to try any of the other products in the line. I'd like to try more of them though!

So I just happened to buy this product while I was studying abroad in Korea. I've seen it online for around $10, and I think I paid about that when I was in Korea as well. So onto my thoughts about the product...


So the packaging is pretty simple. It's a pink spray bottle, and comes with a cap. The spray dispenser hasn't really given me any issues so far. I am almost done with my bottle, so it takes a few squirt attempts in order to get the spray to come out. A nice feature I noticed is that it is possible to spray with the bottle upside down (though spraying it in an upright position does the job just fine).

The scent is also HEAVENLY!!!!!! Oh my god I cannot stop smelling this product and my hair after I use it. It is nice and sweet, with a fruity scent and has some light floral undertones. The fruity notes are simply amazing. The product smells so good, and I cannot get enough of it. Sadly, the scent doesn't last. It lasts for maybe an hour or so? Then it goes away :/ They should bottle this scent.

So onto Etude House's English description:
The white writing on this bottle is INCREDIBLY hard to read, even in person. I thought I was going to go blind reading it @.@

Lastly I found this neat English description/ad of what this product can do:

Hmmm color treated hair? Sounds like this is for me haha. I went to salons and had my hair dyed several times while in Korea...

How do I use this Product?

Although the description says to use it only once a week...I have been using it everyday hahaha ^^; That is probably excessive, right? Well, onto how I use it. After I shower, I generously spray the product all over my wet or damp hair. It usually takes me 5-6 pumps. I spritze my scalp and my hair line, and the ends of my hair. I then run my fingers through my hair, making sure the product gets all over my hair. 

After that, I let it sit in my hair for about a minute. Lastly, using a wide tooth comb, I brush my hair. I use a wide tooth comb so that I don't pull out a lot of hairs (don't you just hate those flyaways?) At this point, combing should be easy. If you sprayed your hair well, and let it sit, the comb should run through your hair really easily. The last step is optional, but I like to blow dry my hair. For me, blow drying my hair after using this spray seems to have phenomenal results! My hair is smooth, shiny, full, and healthy.

My Thoughts on the Product?

I love this spray! Every time I use it I feel like I am pampering myself. I would describe it as a moisturizing detangler. I love to use it after I shower, because I hate combing my hair when it is knotty. This product has helped me minimize the many flyaways I suffer from.  As I mentioned above, blow drying my hair after this seems to have amazing results. I can't stop touching and smelling my hair haha. It is silken soft, full, shiny, and beautiful!

I have been using the product for a couple of months and am almost out. I plan on buying another bottle. Even if you don't use this product often, this hair product is great if you find your hair drying out or that you have more flyaways than usual. I just wish the scent would last longer!


Who do I Recommend this Product to?
Anyone with annoying flyaways, people with dry/damaged or color treated hair, or to any one who just wants their hair to look shiny, full, healthy, and to be silky soft. I think that this product is suitable for anyone who simply wants nicer looking hair.
I doubt this product will cure any major hair concerns (like if you have really brittle hair/super damaged hair from dying), but from what I experienced, it has helped with my own color treated hair and flyaways.



Rating: 5/5



Pros:
- Affordable
- Pretty pink packaging
- Easy to use
- Smells like HEAVEN
- Helps reduce flyaways
- Makes your hair silky soft, shiny
- Looks GREAT after blow drying

Cons:
- The smell only lasts an hour for me :(
- The bottle is a little small for a hair product

So that's my review for Etude House's Silk Scarf Moist Hair Mist. Leave a comment-- tried it and love it? Hated it? Want to try it? Let me know!!! See you in my next post~~

  1. BangNarin,
    I bought this product recently and tried it for the first time just now. I'd say it does good to my hair, but I agree with you that the smell doesn't stay long.

    Also, I read the directions you should apply it on your dry hair. Please correct me if I'm wrong! And I didn't know if you're supposed to apply it once in a week! Hehehe I think I'm going to use it everyday.

    Nice review! Regards!
    :)
