While relatively new (the brand launched in 2013), Briogeo is making huge waves in the industry, loved for its clean but effective formulations that cater to all different hair types. The mask specifically is somewhat of an iconic product, so my expectations were pretty high.

Yes, a select portion of their Briogeo hair products can be used to encourage growth. What does Briogeo smell like? Because it’s nourishing but not ultra-heavy, I think this mask is pretty fantastic for all hair types. The only exception would be super thin or fine hair—you might find it just a little too rich, given all the oils and butters included in the formula. My hair is too fine to use the Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Mask any more frequently than once weekly, but I think it’s an amazing alternative to conditioner (or in addition, for those with drier hair). I also loved the scent—it was clean, slightly floral, and generally delicious.

How do you use Briogeo? In a word, this stuff is gold. Right from the first application, my hair felt super soft, resilient, and shiny—but not like it was limp or coated in product. I definitely noticed the treatment had smoothed some of my frizz, and my fried ends from months of neglect and tight buns were much sleeker, probably in part due to the argan oil.
