Gotukola Youth Spring Hair Mask: An Elated Review!

Press Sample

Gotukola Youth Spring is likely a haircare line that is unknown to you, but after using it- I can honestly say that it is well worth investigating the merits of this line. It takes a very special product to tame my unruly curly tresses, and Gotukola now ranks among the few that truly make the grade.

Gotukola contains the Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) plant extract which has been used for thousands of years in India and China for its medicinal purposes. It has been used to heal wounds, improve mental clarity, and treat skin conditions such as leprosy and psoriasis. It has been called the “fountain of life” because legend has it that an ancient Chinese herbalist lived for more than 200 years as a result of taking the gotukola herb. In modern days, it is considered as among those that has the potential to treat hair loss and baldness problems. Gotukola is rich in vitamin B and K along with other nourishing ingredients to soften hair as well as providing a protective layer to seal spit ends. In addition, Gotukola’s active ingredients leave your hair and scalp cleansed as well as returning your hair to its natural PH level which will help prevent color fading. Gotukola also contains vitamin E that has a dual purpose that promotes overall health and UV protection. It is also believed to protect the hair follicles from the harmful activity caused by Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT in the hair follicles is considered to be a major cause of male pattern baldness. Our unique formula has been developed in the Gotukola laboratories with an emphasis on preventative treatments for the premature hair loss due to environmental conditions. Gotukola’s products restore and revive hair giving it flexibility and softness.

Gotukola posits, "patented ingredients are one of a kind and our guarantee is that Gotukola products will renew and rejuvenate your hair, leaving it looking and feeling great."

Recommended use: "Apply to damp hair, paying special attention to the ends, leave in for 15 minutes, rinse out and style as usual. Contains Keratin and advanced strengthening ingredients that will allow hair to grow longer while providing a glossy, weightless finish." I like to use it once a week.

While I have used it as the company recommends, I have found that leaving the mask on longer renders even better results. I have tried a few additional methods of use: 1) leaving it on for several hours, and 2) leaving it on overnight, and in both situations my hair was left indescribably soft, shiny, and with beautifully formed glossy curls. It is a true thing of beauty to see naturally curly hair deeply moisturized and shiny, and trust me it is not an easy thing to achieve. It tames all of my frizz and fly-aways without weighing my hair down in the least bit. It also moisturizes so deeply that my hair is far more compliant when it comes to styling. It also protects and nourishes my hair to the extent that when I occasionally abuse it with something like a flatiron or blow dryer this magical hair mask mitigates the unavoidable damage that such tools wreak upon the hair. Anyone who has dry hair will be shocked by the level of moisture that Gotukola Youth Spring Hair Mask delivers to their locks. I think that all hair types will greatly benefit from this product, and I for one plan on using it as long as the company makes it.

I have seen firsthand how this mask impacts non-curly hair, and to say that it creates breathtakingly beautiful and shiny hair is an understatement.

The mask itself has a very dense, thick, and rich consistency. It has a very pleasant and comforting scent that I am at a loss to describe. This is undoubtedly luxury niche haircare at its finest, and anyone who with a penchant for hair masks will likely be delighted by this rare gem.
