Review: Eva NYC Haircare

My first exposure to the Eva NYC brand was during Stylecaster’s #StyleChat on Twitter. I really liked their style perspective and decided to find out more about them and their products. Here’s what I learned: Eva NYC is a recently re-launched fashion-inspired brand of tools and haircare. Their goal is to fill a void in the industry by providing an affordable line of professional products. One of my goals this year is to spotlight more NYC-based brands, so I was very excited when the Eva ladies offered to send me some products to try for myself!

evahairI got to try* three products from their haircare line: Hungry Hair Oil Treatment with Argan Oil and Keravis Protein, Freshen Up Dry Shampoo, and the Therapy Session Hair Mask. Now, let me be honest, my hair is kind of a problem child. It’s fine, but there’s a lot of it. I don’t like to put a lot of product in it because it can easily become weighed down and greasy. That said, I tend to have an issue with frizz, so I can’t just leave it to its own devices. Most of the time, I scrunch and wear it curly, but I also like to blow it dry and wear it straight.

Despite my complicated relationship with my hair, I do like trying new products. Of these three, the hair mask was by far my favorite. I felt like it really nourished my hair without making it too heavy, and it has a fantastic scent that stays in your hair even after you rinse it out. A little bit of the hair oil went a long way, and I love that it can also serve as a heat protectant. I haven’t really been able to get into dry shampoo, but this one is a hair spray, instead of a powder, and I definitely felt like it was easier to apply and made my hair look better.  I used both the hair mask and the oil before drying my hair and taking pictures for this post. Here’s a closeup:

If you’re looking to upgrade from your drugstore hair products, I would definitely recommend checking out the Eva NYC line. I also have to admit to a serious crush on the patterns they use on their styling tools! Who wouldn’t love a leopard print straightener or curler?! What’s more, the majority of Eva’s tools use “healthy heat” and won’t fry your hair. So clutch. For haircare on the go, they also have a mini dryer and styling iron set in a pretty floral print. Thanks to Eva NYC for sending me these products! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

*These products were sent to me c/o Eva NYC, but all opinions are my own and the hair mask really does smell amazing.

    I am ALL about argan oil, but I use Moroccan oil. I’ve tried a couple other brands that were pretty good, but to me nothing compares! That therapy session hair mask sounds interesting! Perhaps I will give it a try 🙂

    • I’ve actually never tried Moroccan oil. Anything with oil in it scares me a little, since my hair can get greasy pretty easily. But, I’ve heard such good things, I might have to give it a try! Definitely let me know if you get the hair mask!

    • I’ve tried a couple of drugstore versions, but I really think this one is worth the money. And, especially living in the city, having your hair smell nice is great!
