KayPro Botu Cure.
I purchased this mask because I was convinced that its primary function was smoothing, having given in to the positive reviews. Additionally, this brand has a distinct red smoothing line, and the mask is intended for hair restoration. I still anticipated a smooth effect from the mask in spite of this. Everyone’s hair is different, of course, but there’s a good chance that if a lot of people reported seeing the effect and the manufacturer says so, it will show up on mine.
Producer: Italy. 500 ml volume; 900–1200 (I paid 700 rubles, after discount, for it.)
The manufacturer promises smoothness, density, elasticity, restoration.
It gives smoothness and vitality without weighing down or leaving a sticky effect on even the most damaged hair because of the keratin, peptides, and amino acids included in the composition. Dense and thick hair develops! Immediately following the initial use, the effect becomes apparent. A deep hair reconstruction intensive mask helps to rebuild hair from the inside out, giving it a denser, more elastic, and healthier appearance. shields against chemical and mechanical effects. successfully untangles hair.
Enclosed in a screw-capped blue plastic jar. Underneath it is a protective membrane. There is a sticker with a minimal translation in Russian, but the information on the packaging is in another language.
I thought consistency would be thicker because it looks like a thick, glossy jelly that spreads slightly when handled. ivory in color. Powdery scent that felt somewhat harsh on my hair during the day, in my opinion, but not any softer.

Hair Distribution.
Due to its texture, the mask is perfectly distributed over the hair, for my hair length you need very little product to treat the entire surface with an indent from the roots. I was surprised by this, usually I use much more of the product. Despite the fact that you need a small portion of the mask, there is no feeling that it was applied too tightly and you want to add more. The mask perfectly envelops each hair.
The manufacturer recommends keeping the mask on for 5 minutes. Usually I ignore the recommendations and keep it on longer, but with this mask I decided not to risk it, so as not to get icicles instead of hair.
When rinsing, you can already feel the incredible smoothness and silkiness of the hair.
The effect turned out to be quite decent.
The hair is smoothed out well, practically without protruding small hairs and frizz. I like this result. I can’t call it super, but still good.
In addition, the hair is very crumbly, elastic, shiny and feels pleasantly heavy.
The mask has proven itself to be a wonderful tool for smoothing hair, but for me she still didn"t become an excellent student. And it"s all about the notorious "hair to hair" effect, which is not there. Or rather, it is there immediately after combing, and after a few minutes the hair takes on its natural look. They are still smooth, they just don"t lie the way I need them to. They lack a bit of rigidity, which allows fine hair to hold its shape and lie as a single sheet.
I believe that those with slightly stiffer hair than mine, who don"t mind the softness, will be able to fully enjoy its effect.
As for the density promised by the manufacturer, unfortunately, I didn"t feel it on my fine hair.
Rankings.
This mask leaves your hair looking good until your next hair wash. Regarding its primary function, which is hair restoration, I believe it is a meek helper. Of course it will make your hair shinier, nutrient-rich, well-groomed, and beautiful to look at and touch, but its action is more focused on the outward result than on solving the issue.
There are many options available when it comes to hair masks that promise sleek, smooth hair, but not all of them work the same way. This post will compare and contrast popular hair masks to determine which one is the best. We’ll also break down each mask’s components, advantages, and actual efficacy to help you choose the one that works best for your hair care regimen.
Indola mask smoothing.

Because of its dense texture, it spreads over hair well but not quickly. When applied, it seems to melt a little bit, but all hair must still be processed carefully.
This mask left mixed impressions and despite repeated use, it still has not allowed me to give it a specific assessment.
On the one hand, it gives a great smoothing effect and shine, you can"t take that away from it, but on the other hand, it is very strong on my thin hair. And it turns out that I combed my hair – everything is fine, moved my head – it has already gotten into strands.
At first I attributed it to the humidity, which has caused this effect with many masks, but after trying it with different shampoos, leave-in products, and blow-drying my hair immediately after washing, without even the slightest opportunity to dry naturally, it became clear that it was all about this mask. It behaved normally only with the reverse method of washing hair, but it is not suitable for constant use.
If we return to the composition, then coconut oil is in the list of ingredients and I suspect that perepit is its work, because.. the oil is quite heavy for thin hair.
I had high hopes for this mask, including it in summer care, thinking that it would give hair smoothness and tame restless frizzy hairs. It succeeded quite well in this, but it is completely unsuitable for my hair in the summer.
I will try it in the cold season, when my hair is much better and happily accepts rich nutritional compositions.
Evaluations:
For smooth, glossy hair, selecting the appropriate hair mask can make all the difference in the world. Though every brand makes a different promise, it’s crucial to choose one that works for your needs and hair type. While some masks may be better for controlling frizz, others may work wonders for dry hair.
Don’t be scared to try different products to see which one works best for you. Keep an eye on the ingredients and the changes in your hair over time. Occasionally, the ideal mask is one that feeds your hair from the inside out rather than just making it appear nice.
Ultimately, the hair mask that leaves your hair feeling and looking its best is the greatest. Have faith in your hair’s requirements and give it the attention it merits.
