Not for me
-06.12.13
VERY strong fragrance! Gave me a headache. Besides that, the mask made my hair very hard and very tangled and very dry. (I'm black with easily relaxed hair.) To be fair, I didn't try the shampoo. I used the mask as a deep conditioner after washing with Wen's sweet almond mint. My hair felt as if I had vegetable shortening (Crisco) on it when I went to rinse. Returned it!

Quick Take: easy to use
A long time ago, I met a french woman who made me the most amazing hair mask by hand at her house that had monoi in it, and tiare de tahiti. This smelled just like it, and I needed something to tame my dry recently bleached hair. I have black hair, and lightened the bottom half of it myself (ombre), and my usually normal and very soft wavy hair turned into a frizzy nightmare. This felt great in the shower, but when I tried to air dry, it was even worse! =( Sometimes masks make my hair frizzier it seems. I have to return. Really wished it worked out though =( I think it just didn't work for me, but I can see how this can work for many others with different hair types. (Mine is thick, Normal, sometimes oily near the roots, and naturally wavy south asian hair).

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I ordered this to use every two-three weeks to help rejuvenate my hair and bring a nice natural shine. While the smell is a bit different from what I typically prefer, it works quite well. I am pleased with this purchase.

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I've had my first big jar of this stuff for probably close to a year now and have hardly made a dent in it! This product repairs any fraying ends beautifully, conditions very well, keeps my little frizzies at bay, and as a bonus smells gorgeous. Anytime I use this treatment my hair is much softer and a lot easier to flatiron. Several of my girlfriends have commented on how much easier my hair is to manage after I've used this product, and even went so far as to ask what I had done different. I honestly doubt I am going to need to repurchase anytime soon, as it goes a very long way, but when I do run out I'll definitely repurchase!

great product
-05.31.13
Quick Take: easy to use, quick results, keeps hair hydrated
my daughter uses this so thought I'd try it. She has thick curly hair so I did not expect to like it, my hair is baby fine. But it made my hair so soft and hydrated, I use it frequently now, its a very thick product but rinses out beautifully leaving no residue and the scent is very pleasant!

Quick Take: easy to use
I was looking for a treatment that would provide some protein for my heat damaged natural hair but at the same time maintain provide moisture so that my hair wouldn't be hard. This treatment does both. It goes on really thick and creamy and works as a good detangler. My is looking and feeling stronger after each week of use. I think I've found my holy grail deep treatment!

Not that great
-05.27.13
I was very disappointed in this product. It didn't do anything for my hair, but hard to manage and brush. I feel like it was too pricey and not worth it at all. It just has a nice sent that stays in your hair, but seriously any local brand deep conditioning treatment do a better job.

Simply Amazing!
-05.27.13
Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I just recently decided to go "blonde" for the summer, so with every color treatment, my hair takes a hit. There's nothing worst than frazzled hair, so I wanted to make sure that I bought some products to help keep my hair as healthy as possible. I decided to give this a try, considering the ratings were high, and let me tell you, that I was highly impressed! This stuff is AMAZING! It left my hair so soft and silky! I even love the smell of it. Not too strong, just a soft "musky" scent...not sure if musky is the right word here, but it is a "warm/sexy" scent. I will continue to buy this stuff. I give it 2 thumbs up.

I read in Allure magazine that Kim Kardashian uses this product so I thought if it was good enough for her it is good enough for me. I don't buy many hair products because I get blow outs at a salon and have oily roots to begin with. I use this deep conditioner once a week and it is one of the best hair products ever! It is also the best smelling hair product I ever used I love floral scents. I have long, coarse, thick, curly, hair and get keratin treatments to calm it down. I use a ton of heat once a week & this product really helps soften it and cause less breakage. I sit under a dryer with this product in my hair & it makes a world of difference. I love that it is sulfate free.

Strong scent
-05.09.13
Quick Take: easy to use, very strong scent
I liked this stuff BUT I am a big fan of gardenia. Its a nice scent, but it is very strong, even after rinsing its strong. it also lingers in everything. my pillow smelled like gardenia for days afterwards. also, i didn't see a huge difference in my hair; it was softer but it didn't do much for the frizz and my ends were still in rough shape even after multiple uses. Overall, it wasn't worth the money. My tresseme keratin smooth has made a much bigger difference for me.

LOVE THIS (I'm an Asian, level 11 blonde)
-05.09.13
Quick Take: easy to use, quick results, incredible
Words can not express how much I love this mask. I'm a blonde Asian; level 11 platinum/silver blonde and I swear by this mask. It is truly effective and smells great. I get immediate results when I use it compared to LivingProof and Ojon's masks. I've heard that frizzy/crazy-curly haired people do very well with this mask as well. It helps calm the hair and defrizz it, and of course, if you're hair is mangled, this'll help you comb right through it. Nothing deep conditions like this retail mask.MUST TRY

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
This stuff is absolutely amazing. After just one use ny hair was so transformed I went out and bought another one. Yes it is expensive. But it is well worth it. If I am short on money I just mix this with another cheap conditioner to stretch the product. But overall it is a miracle worker. My hair was so much more tame, frizz free, and smoother after just one use. And it was moisturized. I will admit it was not overly moisturizer but it was definitely taken care of. And I noticed significantly less hair coming out. It was amazing! I will never live without this stuff!

The scent is AMAZING and it works wonders! I have thick, course hair that I dye. After dying my hair twice in 1 month, my hair was really damaged. After 2 uses of the hair mask, I have less split ends, less frizzy and my hair has more shine!

This stuff is AMAZING!!!!!
-04.29.13
Quick Take: quick results
First.... My hair is natural (no perm). I am African American. I have to say that this is a bit expensive but you do get every penny you spend on it. My hair soaked this stuff up and I was a bit nervous that it wasn't going to do much. But after washing it out it was AMAZING. I definitely noticed significantly less hair. I don't know about 92% less but at least 80% less hair. My hair is I pretty bad shape so I am sure it'll get better as time goes on.
I will say you have to be patient with this. When I first put it on it isn't feel like it was doing much. And even after I washed it out initially it didn't feel like it did wonders. But after my hair started to dry it was AMAZING. My hair was so soft and smooth and felt in much better shape. Please note this is a repairing mask NOT a moisturizing mask so if you are expecting a big moisturizer different, this isn't it. But if you are expecting your hair to be softer, smoother, moisturizer, and in better condition then this is the product for you. Yes it does moisturize but it is not a overly moisturizer feeling so don't expect that. I see lots of girls complaining about that but i think it's because they have the wrong expectations.
