Four editors with different hair types tested out Prose, the personalized hair-care subscription servicehere’s the verdict.
On one hand, I love how it looks.
On the other, it feels like hay.
Ive also been growing my hair out for the last couple years, and blow dry it daily.
Basically, Im lucky if I can brush my hair after a shower without ripping out multiple knots.
The brand states that its formulas are based on 80 different factors.

You now have to make a choice.

So, how goodisProse?
We put the personalized hair care products to the test.
Spoiler alert: We were pretty impressed.
Products used:Custom shampoo, conditioner, and pre-shampoo hair mask.
I even got to pick out the scent (an herbal-y blend.)
I can actually comb my hair without tugging on knots, which is quite the game-changer.
It took me 10 minutes to style my hair in the after photo.
The pre-shampoo treatment is a mask that you apply to your ends 5-30 minutes before your shower.
I keep it on for about 10 minutes before I hop in and wash it out before applying shampoo.
It deep-conditions my dried-out strands, and gives my highlights more shine.
Overall, Im super into the Prose systemI didnt think I would be, and now Im hooked.
I dove deep into my curly hair journey three years ago.
Which ingredients should I avoid for hard water, again?).
The highlights for me are definitely the curl cream and styling gel.
Hooray for extending wash day one more day!
Overall, Id absolutely order again and will be trying the shampoo and conditioner next.
Products used:Custom shampoo, conditioner, pre-shampoo mask, and curl cream.
The real star, however, was the super-rich pre-shampoo mask.
After applying, I was able to run my fingertips through my hair without snagging on a single knot.
While the curl cream added some support for my waves, it didnt have much staying power.

Products used:Custom shampoo, conditioner, and styling gel.
One of my favorite products that Ive been testing from Proses offerings is the styling gel.
I struggle with taming flyaway hairs, but this gel keeps my baby hairs in line.
When Im done for the day, Illl wash my hair using the custom shampoo.
Its formulated with professional silicone and yucca stem extract to fight frizz and humidity.
After each wash, I notice how shiny and sleek my hair looks.
Bonus: it smells nice!
That said, all of my products were made to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
you might see in the before photo that my curls are looser and more scraggly looking.
The spirals arent as defined as Id like them to be.
Bonus points for the scent corsica that smells like an Italian seaside villa.
