Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this product for about three years now and it’s made my hair so much healthier. I pair it with the don’t dispare repare hair mask and use them about once or twice a week.

Big punch in a little bottle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had no clue what to expect, but I was not expecting a cream conditioner to hydrate soooo much. My hair dos well for about a day after washing and then becomes very frizzy and dry. I have used this product, once so far. I only used it for a couple minutes compared to the directions and followed up with SuperFoods conditioner. My hair was stronger, shinier, and such a joy to wear down compared to a bun. This is now in my weekly rotation.

don’t despair, repair! Rice, water, shampoo.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my hair and a scalp are very clean and white after using the shampoo. I do need to use the mask three times a week or so because my hair feels a little dried out but the mask balance is that nicely. I highly recommend the system if you’re struggling with dry hair.

Leaves me with soft touchable waves
I know this is a leave in for a few hours/overnight and rinse out product, however, I have used it twice and left it on overnight, and I wake up with the SOFTEST, most touchable, well defined waves ever. And somehow my hair isn't greasy or weighed down. . so I just end up not rinsing it out and wearing it this way until I wash it again.

Great product for my thin & weak hair!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been struggling finding a shampoo & conditioner that is mostly natural and effective. I have thin straight hair that has lots of breakage at the ends. I have struggled with dry hair and more recently, felt like it was falling out. After the first use, my hair was more hydrated, soft, and didn’t have as many knots. I really love and recommend these products.

Best ever
I put this in after shampooing, let it sit with a towel on my head door and hour or so. My over processed hair feels HEALTHY after for weeks. Obsessed. Best. stuff. Ever.

What a difference a few days make!
I'd been using "good" salon products ($40 a bottle) for a few years and my hair was still thinning, dull and lifeless from getting older and frequent root touch up and color applications. The very first time using Briogeo's Don't Despair Repair shampoo my hair felt and looked thicker but not frizzy volume. It's not a high lather shampoo, so I was concerned it wasn't cleaning, but it does. The conditioner smoothed the shaft, made my color look deeper too. It doesn't interfere with styling. I'm impressed and LOVE this product!

Hair still feels brittle and dry
I’ve been using the mask once a week per what the bottle recommended and using the shampoo and conditioner 3 times a week since I don’t wash my hair everyday. I have seen a change in how dry and brittle my hair is after using it for a little over a month now.

Good, but not great. . . unfortunately.
I want to love this because of what a great company Briogeo is, but truthfully I find that the shampoo leaves a heavy residue on my hair and it feels weighed down. I use minimal conditioner because of how thick the shampoo feels on my hair even after thoroughly washing, and I often feel like I need to alternate between another brand to really scrub out and start with a fresh scalp before using again. I'll continue to use because I like how chemical-free and humane Briogeo is, and I don't feel like there are other "regular" formulas for shampoo/conditioner that the company offers, as everything feels quite specialized for hair "issues".
