Hi chickadees,
I received a deluxe sample 1.0 oz of this Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask in my January 2014 ipsy glam bag. This product is normally sold in a 5.25 ounce container for $26. I know it almost always takes me forever to review things but this time I have a relatively good excuse as I only started using this product in April after getting a haircut. I have no explanation for why I waited four months to start using this product. Anyway, enough vamping, on to the review!
Overview: I won't be purchasing a full-size container of this product. It's on the expensive side for me as I don't invest that much in hair care and I just didn't get dramatic enough results to justify the price or the hassle of integrating it into my routine. I find the scent to be pleasant. It's mild in the way that milk and honey and oatmeal scents are and you can smell it as you're applying it. It's a bright scent that isn't sharp or aggressive like citrus or mint. Because of the scent, I enjoyed using it but I didn't feel like it made a real difference in the condition of my hair. I wouldn't dissuade you from trying it out as it didn't damage my hair but it didn't do anything for me.
I had my hair cut in the middle of April. My fine hair is relatively healthy with some shine but it's a bit drier than normal and I have issues with scalp itch and dryness. In total, I got 12 uses out of the 1.0 oz sample of this hair mask.
The first time I washed my hair after my haircut I integrated this product into my routine. I washed my hair with Head and Shoulders shampoo, rinsed it out, and then applied maybe half a teaspoon of the Briogeo Hair Mask. This would be a good time to mention I'm not fantastic at estimating amounts or comparative sizes. I concentrated most of product right at the scalp and at the ends of my hair but I worked it throughout my hair. I left the mask on for five minutes before rinsing it out. My hair was still a little tangled which doesn't happen with my regular conditioner as my hair doesn't get that tangled to begin with. Afterwards my hair looked frizzy and still rather dry. The day after my scalp was already starting to become greasy and to itch again and my hair appeared limp and lacking in volume.
Three days later I washed my hair with Head and Shoulders shampoo, rinsed it out, and then followed up with a Garnier shampoo. After the second round of shampoo I massaged a good amount of the Briogeo Hair Mask into my hair but avoided putting any around my roots to try and avoid weighing my hair down. I left the mask on for three minutes and then rinsed it out. Afterwards my hair again seemed to look the same. It was perhaps not as frizzy as it was the first time I used this product.
