A very good conditioner with high conditioning and nourishing power and light, flowing hair! This is specially created for thinning hair, however, anyone needing weightless, heavy-duty conditioning this is the product! It has some fragrance that tries to resemble some kind of chamomile-like herbal note. I am not the biggest fan, must say, but it does not bother me. Highly recommended esp. in conjunction with the Genesis Shampoo! (See separate review.) Can alternate with Genesis Strengthening Conditioner (see separate review). Will repurchase. Aqua / Water / Eau • Cetearyl Alcohol •...

This is a great mask. I got it because Lab muffin was singing the praises of amodimethicone and how it helped her hair. I had a lot of colour damage and it was breaking at the ends. This is made to help stop breakage thus making your hair longer. There's nothing in it to make it grow. I knew that no product can really do that unless it contains a medication. This mask is so thick and hydrating. I love the feel and texture of this. Its so thick so you don't need much. It smells so good too. Since using this my hair is so soft and I haven't had any noticeable breakage on the ends. My hair...

I'm not the biggest fan of the additional Olaplex hair products (shampoo, conditioner, cream, oil) because I don't think their formulas are that good, pH is slightly too high and other technical things or just the inclusion of certain ingredients that don't make sense, at least to me. As a consequence, those products do not deliver good results on my hair, I do get better results from using more established professional ranges (Schwarzkopf, Wella or whatever) and other similarly-priced premium hair brands like Alterna or Living Proof also deliver better results but I do like the original...

This mask is quite good. I've substituted it for conditioner a few times and it works quite well on my fine hair. I adore the scent of this particular line, although I wish it lingered in my hair a bit longer. It provided moisture, leaving my hair soft, taming frizz, and the scent lightly lingered. Regarding repair claims, it's essential to be aware that many products claim to repair hair, but it's crucial to understand their ingredients and actual benefits. Overall, I'm pleased with this hair mask and may consider buying it again.

I'm not gonna lie, I bought this mask because of the beautiful packaging. I honestly didn't expect it to transform my coarse, curly, highlighted hair after one use. My ends were pretty straggly since I haven't had a cut in a while and I swear it made me look like I just stepped out of the salon. Shiny, glossy, hair that's full of bounce and volume... I don't know what sorcery this is but my hair feels so healthy and hydrated! I don't love the smell but the pros outweigh the only con on this one. Definitely recommend.

This is a thick hair mask. I have fine, dry hair that is starting to thin now that I am over 50. This product did add moisture to my hair and left it looking soft and smooth. I need to use it daily, not weekly though, to maintain the results. Has a light shea butter type scent.

This is a good mask, by no means the best I have ever tried, and given the price, that's not a good thing, imho. It smells incredibly, cloyingly sweet, something like a child's shampoo/conditioner set would smell like, but really strong. I am not a fan of this scent, and this is a major point for most Briogeo products: they just don't seem able to get their scents right. The good thing, though, is that it doesn't last. It claims to make hair more manageable and shiny after 2 uses, but compared to my usual products, I don't think this is anything mind blowing. It did an okay job to hydrate...

My new everyday conditioner, since my previous go-to was reformulated to death. My hair requires deep conditioning everyday or otherwise it's dull, a little brittle, frizzy -- it's color-treated and occasionally heat-styled. As I was seeking alternatives to replace my daily conditioner, I bought this once, tried it, and my quest halted there, no further questions asked. This makes my hair noticeably soft, shiny, bouncy, healthy. Supposedly this hair mask has 10 benefits, so all of the above, really. It's a rinse-off mask so it doesn't weigh your hair down, leaves a bit of slip, and has a...
