If you’ve ever tried BRIOGEO HAIR CARE’s stand-out hair product: the Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask, you know that this is one brand that’s hard to forget. The secret to their beauty-shelf staying power is that the woman-founded brand uses plant-forward, natural formulas that are free of all that icky stuff like phthalates, parabens, and artificial dyes.
And just like our skincare routines, our hair-care routine needs to keep up, so that even amongst the stress of work, commuting, relationships, and just… life, we at least have full, healthy, and shiny hair to get us through anything. If you’re new to the brand or just want to explore what other products they have in the mix, we’re shedding light (not hair!) on everything you need to know about BRIOGEO HAIR CARE below.
Let’s start off by getting into the cult-favorite BRIOGEO HAIR CARE hair product: the deep conditioning mask. Ipsters love this so much because you only need to use it once a week to get long-lasting benefits like frizz-free shine and heat and breakage protection. This mask skips the chemicals and instead is infused with rosehip oil, algae, and B vitamins. We love that it has an instantly noticeable effect on hair. One Ipster even shared that it saved their bleach-damaged ends. “I thought I was going to have to trim my tips again because I have bleach-damaged hair, but then I realized I got a hair mask product here, and I gave this a try and it saved my hair from my scissors,” they wrote.
Heat damage is a serious hair concern—especially if you’re dealing with dry, brittle strands. That’s where this heat protectant cream comes into play. We love that it’s safe for color-treated, keratin-treated, chemically treated, and relaxed hair. Plus, it’s vegan and uses grapefruit, lemon, and tangerine peel oil to nourish and protect hair. One Ipster said this product beat out more expensive products with similar functions. “It has made my hair feel a lot better after blow-drying and in the humidity,” they wrote.
If you’re not careful, you can end up with an overflowing beauty counter that has three different products that can easily be contained into one. This leave-in spray helps you avoid that, as it acts as a leave-in conditioner and a detangler, and even provides UV protection from the sun. Phytonutrients from green veggies like spinach and avocado help naturally nourish and repair hair. As one Ipster noted, this is for all hair types. “I have 3c curl hair and I was surprised to see this works for my hair type,” they wrote. “I love how it detangles my hair and keeps it soft and moisturized.”
Dry shampoos that come out of aerosol cans can be a little scary, but this dry shampoo dispenses little puffs of powder directly onto your roots to soak up excess oil in a flash. This one uses charcoal and biotin to help add balance to the scalp. Even though this dry shampoo comes out white, Ipsters note that “This works really well and doesn’t show in dark hair.”
The Don’t Despair, Repair! line also extends into hair oils that help repair breakage and damage. Though you can use this oil on any hair type and texture, the amount of product you’ll need will vary. For fine, thin hair, all you need is one to two drops. For thick, frizzy hair go up to two to three drops. If you have curly 3B to 3C curls, two to three drops per section is your best bet. And finally, for coily 4A to 4C curls, use three to four drops per section (or more as needed).
Sure, by now we know that curls need to stay hydrated to appear defined and healthy, but did you know that curls can also be weather-proofed? That’s the magic of BRIOGEO HAIR CARE. This leave-in curl cream uses rice amino acids, avocado oil, and quinoa extract to seal and protect strands so your curls stay in place no matter what life (or the elements!) throw at you. One Ipster wrote that they “started to scrunch and immediately saw [their] curls start to form” with this product. We love working smarter, not harder.
At this point in our list, you probably have a firm understanding of how great the BRIOGEO HAIR CARE brand is for hair care. So why not try deluxe mini sizes of their best sellers to get started? This kit comes with the aforementioned Repair, Don’t Despair! hair oil, plus the Scalp Revival dry shampoo and the Farewell Frizz blow dry protection cream.
Every BRIOGEO HAIR CARE product needs a star ingredient, and in this exfoliating shampoo, we have binchotan charcoal, which helps clear out excess debris and dead skin from the hair follicle at the scalp. That means it’s clear to grow faster and will get less greasy post-wash day. One Ipster struggling with hair loss wrote, “I was pleasantly surprised at how clean my scalp and hair felt and the lack of residue from the exfoliant. I'm experiencing a bit of hair loss triggered by upset hormones, and this brand is excellent to activate blood flow in the scalp.”
