I’ve had Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner in my stash for a while and finally had a chance to give it a go this weekend after taking out braids.
Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner claims to be a restorative protein treatment that is also moisturizing and suitable for promoting smoother, shinier, and frizz-free hair strands.
It’s also free of sulfates, phthalates, gluten, drying alcohol, and artificial colors.
Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner Review
When I take out my protective styles, I usually go through the max hydration method but I kept the braids in a little longer than I should have because I was so busy with work.
I didn’t like the way my hair felt after taking out the braids so I decided to include a protein treatment after shampooing my hair with diluted Castile soap.
The Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner is thick, creamy, and has a delightful smell.
As I have thick, very curly hair, a creamy deep conditioner is right up my alley. After shampooing my hair, I applied it to wet hair in the shower.
I worked it through my hair in sections and my hair swallowed it quickly, twisted up each section and covered with a shower cap then went about my business.
I left it on for 10 minutes. It doesn’t have a lot of slip so I didn’t try to detangle too much at this stage.
I then rinsed it out thoroughly. My hair felt smoother and softer to the touch afterward, which were two things I was after.
One use isn’t really enough to determine its effectiveness for preventing breakage but I plan to continue using it.
I followed it up with the rest of my modified max hydration method — conditioner, clay, leave-in, gel, and oil and loved the end results.
Below is a pic of my hair after I finished my regimen. It’s still dripping wet in the picture.
The standard bottle comes in 12 oz and I was a little concerned my hair would swallow up half the bottle but I didn’t need too much after all.
Below is a pic showing how much of the product I used in one go. My hair is a mix of 3C, 4A, 4B, and almost APL. It’s a bit pricey but I expect the bottle to last for a while.

It has one or two ingredients I’m not crazy about but since I knew I would be using bentonite clay later on in my regimen, it didn’t bother me too much.
I would definitely recommend following Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner up with a deep conditioning treatment.
Overall, I give the conditioner a 4 over 5 and will continue using it intermittently. The line also includes a shampoo, leave in and treatment oils.
However, I’m fine with the protein smoothing conditioner. You can check out the entire line HERE.
If you don’t want to commit to a full bottle, you can buy a few treatment packets instead so you can test to see if your hair likes it. You can buy the full 120z bottle on Amazon HERE.
