Kenra Professionals recently released a new summer collection which includes the Platinum Snail Anti-Aging Collection, Platinum Heat Block Hairspray 22 and the Shaping Spray 21.

I was lucky enough to try out the products before they were released! Now, I only wash my hair about 2 times a week, so I only used these products a few times.

Kenra Platinum Snail Anti-Aging Collection

The Snail Ant-Aging Collection is enriched with snail essence, which is a highly concentrated blend of proteins (Don’t worry no snails were harmed in the making of this product). The snail essence helps fight 10 signs of aging of the hair, including dullness, breakage, frizz, unmanageability and more!

Shampoo

The shampoo smells amazing and it’s really creamy. It’s SLS free which is a huge plus in my book.

Conditioner

The conditioner is also smells nice and smells differently than the shampoo. I do think the scent is a bit too strong for me though. I have really bad asthma and sometimes highly fragranced products both me. It’s not overly strong so I can handle it. Another con I have is that it contains silicone. Also not a huge deal but I try to avoid it when I can. I am more concerned about silicone in my skin products.

CC Cream

This product is super light when I put it in my hair. It is also very easy to work with. The only con I have is that it also contains silicone as well.

Conclusion

I actually like they way all three products work together. Lately, my naturally wavy hair has been falling flat and is extremely frizzy due to the humidity. Now my hair is still getting a tad flat but it’s so much wavier than it has been. I also think it’s because that I need a hair cut and my bad ends are weighting it down. My hair is still frizzy but not as bad. I think there is nothing that really can be done about my frizz.

I wash and condition my hair at night, I put in the CC Cream (I was not using any other hair care products during this test), then I plop my hair until morning.

Again, my only con is the silicone and currently lots of my other hair car products still have it.

Spray’s

Kenra Platinum Heat Block Spray 22

This spray is a lightweight finishing spray that contains Bee Propolis, which is a naturally sourced resin that provides thermal protection. The spray is also humidity resistant and you can spray it on your hair throughout the day. Sadly, there is also silicone in this spray.

I’ve used the spray on both my dry and wet hair. When I use it on my wet hair, I do it after the CC cream and before I plop my hair. When I use it on dry, it’s the next morning when I’m done plopping. After using it both ways, I think I prefer to use it on my wet hair. It helps a bit with the frizz and my hair isn’t as crunchy when I use it dry.

Kenra Shaping Spray 21

What I like about this hairspray, is that it is alcohol free. I don’t really use hairsprays all that often but when I do, I prefer that they are alcohol free. And it’s hard to find a good hairspray that’s alcohol free until this one! It is also optimized for moisture retention! Perfect for the Michigan humidity.

Unlike the Heat Block Spray, I’ve only used it on my dry hair. It does not make my hair crunchy and it holds my wave! But of course there is silicone also in this spray.

Conclusion

Even though both sprays are different, they are made basically to do the same thing: hold your style in place and help protect against humidity. I definitely like the Heat Block 22 better for my wet hair and the Shaping Spray 21 for my dry hair.

Overall Thoughts

I do like Kenra’s new line of products. I do wish the products did not contain silicone but what can I do. They definitely helped a bit with the frizz. And I do like the concept of having the snail extract and the bee prop0lis in it. I feel like they help make my hair healthier.

What do you guys think of Kenra’s new summer line?

I would like to thank Kenra Professionals and BrandBacker for sending me these products. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
