For fine-to-medium hair that is dry, dull or tangles easily, and for people who find regular hair masks too heavy. Thick, coarse hair usually needs the richer Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm instead.

Fine hair is hard to moisturize because rich masks leave it limp. The HydraSplash Gelée Masque uses a gel base with coconut water and sea kelp to deliver hydration in a weightless form, so hair gets softer and shinier while keeping its movement.

• Apply to wet hair after shampooing.
• Leave on for 5 minutes.
• Rinse well and style as usual.
• For best results, work a small amount of HydraSplash Replenishing Leave-In through before blow-drying.

What stands out, and the trade-offs:

• Gel texture hydrates fine hair without flattening it
• Five-minute treatment
• Joico reports 24-hour hydration with HydraSplash Shampoo

• Made for fine-to-medium hair, so thick or coarse hair may need a richer treatment
• Only one regular size (150 ml)
