Product Information

With some serious need for a nourishing boost, I called in reinforcements by way of the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask. 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. Inspired by the vibrant city of New York and its core values of individuality, positivity and transparency, Briogeo’s dreams up hair care heroes for all – leaving no tresses behind. Committed to innovation and inclusivity, the brand’s formulas not only shield your strands, but protect planet Earth’s inhabitants too. How? By only using cruelty-free ingredients, which are 90 to 100 percent naturally derived.

My hair is short, fine, and very soft. I have a chin-length bob and I don’t color it, so it’s in relatively good condition. But because it’s fine it breaks and tangles easily, so I do love using a deep conditioning treatment from time to time. I also rarely use standard conditioner (I find it weighs my hair down when I apply it too frequently), so a weekly mask is a great way to nourish and repair damage.

Fast forward to her early twenties, Twine was forced to abandon her grandmother’s at-home remedies when she moved to New York City. Her only option was store-bought varieties of shampoos and conditioners. Happiness began with hair care. More specifically, Briogeo founder Nancy Twine was enthralled with home remedies that resulted in beautiful and strong hair starting at the ripe age of five.

When she was a young child, she would routinely visit her grandmother’s home. Known as the neighborhood resident beauty guru, Twine’s grandmother created her own homemade hair care recipes.

And so, Briogeo was born in her little East Village studio apartment in 2013.

use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. Thankfully, my hair is now on the mend due to three saviors: a change in birth control, prescribed minoxidil, and Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Rice Water Protein + Moisture Strengthening Treatment. While the former two are responsible for stopping the shedding and promoting regrowth, the latter has helped my hair return to a healthier, shinier, more flexible state — a state that might even be better than it was pre-balding.About the brand: Briogeo is a haircare brand founded in 2013 by Nancy Twine, who created the products based on nourishing DIY recipes she learned from her grandmother. Now, Briogeo is one of Sephora’s leading haircare brands, and its Don’t Despair, Repair Mask is a fan favorite. About My Hair: Fine and quite soft 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. that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising);
