Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask

By Renata Cole, Lead Beauty Editor||How we test

15x award-winning weekly deep conditioning mask that balances protein and moisture to strengthen dry, damaged, or color-treated hair — vegan and cruelty-free.

Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask is one of the most decorated hair masks in the clean beauty category — a 15-time award winner that has built its reputation on a simple but difficult balance: delivering meaningful protein reinforcement without tipping hair into stiffness or brittleness. The formula pairs rosehip oil, algae extract, and B-vitamins with hydrolyzed keratin to address both moisture loss and structural weakness in a single weekly treatment. We tested this on color-treated, heat-damaged hair over four weeks of weekly use. The mask has a rich, creamy texture that distributes easily through damp hair and rinses clean without residue. After the first use, hair felt noticeably softer and looked smoother; by week three, we measured visibly less breakage during brushing and improved elasticity when wet. The scent is a light, clean floral that doesn't linger. At current pricing for 8 oz, it sits in the premium tier but below luxury salon masks. The 97% naturally derived, vegan, and cruelty-free formula makes it one of the few high-performance masks that also satisfies clean-beauty ingredient standards. For dry, damaged, or color-treated hair that needs both protein and moisture, this is the mask we recommend most often.
