Saved My Hair—Like, Actually
This hair mask is the real deal. My ends were dry, frizzy, and honestly just sad—but after using Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! once a week, my hair feels softer, smoother, and way more manageable.It smells amazing (clean and fresh without being too strong), and the texture is super creamy without weighing my hair down. I leave it on for about 10–15 minutes and rinse, and it instantly makes my hair feel like I just left a salon.Bonus: it’s clean and cruelty-free, which makes me feel even better about slathering it all over my head. Total game-changer for damaged or color-treated hair.

Great for curly hair
Fantastic product. Thick. Smells wonderful. Leaves your hair feeling silky soft without being weighed down. Very moisturizing and offers shine. I have curly hair and highly recommend.

The quality is worth the price!!!
Feels good in the hair! I love to put this in my hair along with jojoba oil on hair wash days and it leaves my hair feeling so soft and moisturized. The quality is worth the price, easy to use and smells 10/10 .

Works ok, but not for fine hair
This is a perfectly fine mask but not for fine hair. It’s a little heavy and will weight your hair if fine. Not crazy about the scent but it doesn’t last after drying thankfully.

No breakage, really good slip, buttery soft
I had a challenge with my hair breaking in huge chunks. I thought it was because my hair was dry after spending months in a protective style. I washed/conditioned it twice- still nothing. I then decided I needed to do a protein treatment so I ordered for a protein treatment and this moisturizing treatment to use thereafter. When I run a detangling comb through my hair after the protein treatment I was disappointed to still see huge chunks of hair falling off. Next up was the Briogeo deep conditioner. I applied it and said a prayer as I sat under a dryer for ~ 40 mins. Lo & Behold. Very minimal breakage! as I styled it using the same detangler. This is pricy but a definitely keeper. Also a little goes a long way. I’ll be trying more stuff from their product line. Almost forgot to mention the slip and butter-like feel of my hair after rinsing. Maintain this formula please!

Don’t Despair vs Soul Food
I have fine, blonde hair that I have highlighted twice a year for a natural sun kissed look and I live in an area with hard water. I have a water softener and filter and I am on a constant search for the best conditioner for my hair because it always feels tangly. I have tried so many different brands over the years recommended by stylists and on my own (Oribe, Living Proof, Amika Soul Food, Fakkai Mask, Olapkex and many, many more). I stumbled upon Fekkai’s masks on a trip in Alaska because my hair was extra, super dry there and fell in love with how amazing my hair felt. Then during the pandemic in 2020 they stopped making it then rereleased it and the ‘new formula’ is horrible! So I retried both Oribe masks and they were terribly drying. I tried Amika Soul Food and it smells great and is the best I have found so far. After reading reviews, I thought I’d try Don’t Dispair to see if it could make my hair happy like Fekkai used to but it’s a hard NOPE. If your hair is fine like mine, don’t waste your money. This stuff is thin and watery. I would not even classify it as a mask. It is weak and made my hair very, very dry and stiff. I tried leaving it on for 10 minutes and also overnight plus the regular use , like a conditioner since I spent the money I was hoping it would work for something but it’s going to my boys or the trash. The Olaplex 5 is much more of a mask than this stuff. For reference, I currently use Olaplex shampoo(4), Condtioner (5) and Olaplex 3 and I alternate in Amika Soul Food and Olaplex 5 as my conditioner. I also use Fanola No Yellow once a week mixed with Olaplex 3 to keep out any gold or brassy tones. I hope this review saves someone who has hair like mine from spending money on this. Try Soul Food. It’s thick and smells nice and will make your hair feel much softer than Don’t Despair. Don’t Despair is like using a drug store brand so save your money. Look elsewhere.
