Customer review: "I have long hair, but it’s prone to damage. Using this mask was the best choice I made! Instead of brushing my hair before showering, I apply this as a pre-treatment. After soaking for 30 minutes, I can easily finger detangle my hair in the shower. I wash my hair once a week, and by day 1-3, I keep it up in a messy bun, which often gets tangled and matted. This mask makes my hair smell amazing, feel soft, and reduced breakage significantly!" —EstherTheCurly
