Leonor Greyl Paris Masque A L'Orchidee - Deep Conditioning Mask for Thick, Dry or Frizzy Hair, 7 oz

I'm an African American woman with dry hair. And this mask moisturizers my dry hair.

This product comes in an elegant, easy-to-open, jar. A spoon comes with it, in order to easily remove the product from the jar.The masque, itself, is a thick cream having the consistency of paste. It is not greasy. It has a light, somewhat floral scent. The masque goes on easily. I found that I didn’t have to use a lot of the product either. Because of its consistency, it is easy to apply. I divided my very long hair into sections to make it easier.. Each strand needs to be covered, and using a thick-toothed comb to distribute it evenly is helpful.Now, for the results. It did tame the frizzies, but it didn’t get rid of them all together. It did improve the quality of my hair. It felt softer, stronger, easier to manage. It seemed to be hydrated without feeling greasy.The product contains essential fatty acids, jojoba oil and vitamin e, all ingredients that are vital for healthy hair.

I have used this product in the travel-size while I was deciding on whether or not to splurge on this. I use this with pretty much every wash at this point, combing product into my wet hair after washing with the dandruff shampoo from Leonore Greyl. Despite being all natural, the product gives my dry, thick, hair much better definition, shine and moisture. Other masks and conditioners ultimately require the addition of oils and creams to get to that level of sleekness. This will likely be included as part of my haircare for the foreseeable future. Currently there is nothing better for my hair.

I have course biracial hair. I began using this product about 6 months ago and my stylist of 10 years says that she has never seen my hair so healthy. I put in in my hair wet and leave in while I clean my home and then wash and blow dry. I can not live without this product. It also works well as a leave in prior to washing while showering.

For what this stuff costs it needed to blow my socks off...and it did not. The smell was okay. I don't see the need for the tiny plastic applicator - who would actually use that? (I tossed it and used my fingers as a scoop like any other hair masque.) I would also like the instructions printed on the container - I have so many cremes and masques and conditioners with different rules that I had no idea what to do with this once I decided to use it. And after I used it, I honestly didn't notice any difference in my hair. I have very thick and coarse hair that feels somewhat dry- and this stuff didn't make it any more manageable than $15 stuff I've bought. So, my one-star rating isn't because I specifically hate it, but rather because it's a super expensive product that doesn't do much.

Not really seeing a difference with this expensive product versus a cheaper product. I was disappointed.

I bought this mask by mistake. I usually use Jasmine mask from Leonor Greyl. But I was surpised that this one worked even better on me.

The Leonor Greyl Masque comes in luxe packaging with its own plastic scraper so that one doesn't reach in with one's fingers for the conditioning mask and to make it easier to scrape out every bit of the conditioning mask. The Orchid version is supposed to help thick and damaged/chemically treated hair become softer and better nourished. I have thick, straight black hair mixed with white hair. This worked similar to the deep conditioning masks I've used in the past and it rinsed out easily. It left my hair feeling soft. It works well but is quite pricey at $65.
