USER REVIEW: “My hair is so soft and not tangly when I use this! I have really frizzy, rough-feeling hair, and this made my hair feel so smooth and added a nice scent as a bonus! Update: I have been using this mask for a few months now and I can't live without it. I use it every time I wash my hair, right after I shampoo but before my conditioner. My hair is way shinier and more manageable when I use it, and if I ever skip it, I regret it all day long.”
