when i first heard of briogeo, it wasn't available yet in indonesia, but it was available in singapore. i heard people praising the don't despair, repair mask and the scalp revival one. when i saw them in singapore, the price was too expensive for me to justify buying the full size. so waited a bit longer. and then they came out with the travel kit. and luckily, they have don't despair repair kit! i was glad so i asked my husband to buy me one when he was in singapore.

paper stuff to cushion the products

the packaging: since i bought this as a kit, it comes in a peach soft pouch secured by a cardboard sleeve that has the picture of everything inside the kit. there's a description at the back of the sleeve about all three products. the pouch has a zip so you can really bring this while travelling. all the products inside are cushioned with paper. there's also a card that comes with the kit. the leave in mask comes in a white plastic bottle that has doff finish. the spray head is covered by white plastic cap. you can read the product's name at front and product's description as well as the ingredients list at the back in english. the mask comes in 59 ml which a weird amount.

the scent: it has added fragrance written in the ingredients list, and it smells fragrant as expected, but it's not overly strong. it has floral scent but i can't say what kind it is. it does linger as it's applied while the hair is damp. i don't mind the scent, but my little one said that it doesn't smell good and my husband agreed. they like my body shop hair mask and my previous hair oil's scent better.

the product: as this is a leave in conditioner, no wonder it comes out as a white foamy cream just like conditioner when i sprayed it out my hand. since i only use it on my hair ends, i usually need about five to six pumps. i've used it throughout my last japan trip which was about 10 days and i washed my hair every two days, and i still have plenty. i've been using it since i finished my previous hair oil, and i still have some in the bottle.

the result: i've tried using this several ways. on wet hair when it's freshly washed, it doesn't give any effect. on dry hair, it weighs down my hair and it leaves residue on my hair as if i didn't wash it properly. and it gets oily real quick. but on damp hair, about half dried, it works well. it absorbs well into damp hair and after blowing it dry, it makes the hair end feels soft. even though i've colored my hair, i don't suffer split ends thanks to this leave in conditioner and my hair mask.

though this leave in conditioner works okay, i don't quite fond of the texture. it feels like putting conditioner on my clean hair. i like using hair oil after washing my hair better. and even though it works, i don't think it could justify the price. it's still overpriced. but if you have money to splurge on, and you're looking for a vegan or cruelty free hair products and you have dry hair, you should try this one. i think you can easily find briogeo products in sephora, so it's easier to get now. even in indonesia you can buy briogeo now. but as for me, i don't think i'll purchase the full size.
