Gently squeeze out excess water from your hair, if your hair is too wet the mask will not apply well or evenly.

This mask is literally a self-care moment in a jar—not only is it adorable (the mask is even pink!) it smells like a summer dream.

After the second wash: By the second wash, I was sold. My curls have become juicier, my hair is regaining its body and its tight curl pattern, which excites me. The dramatic shedding has subsided and it’s a pleasure to see and feel my hair. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

On a good day, my hair feels quite dry and is very tangly, on a bad day—well, I don’t want to talk about it but let's just say it’s not cute…that is until I tried the Sweet Repair mask. My thoughts on the Coco & Eve Sweet Repair mask Apply your treatment mask to your mid-lengths and ends. Focus on the hair that needs the most attention, which means for most of us gather your hair into a mid-ponytail and apply throughout.

As described, I have a complicated relationship with my hair and have tried pretty much every conditioner and serum to try and make it a little less brittle, to seemingly no avail. So I wasn’t expecting to love this mask at all, but boy, do I!

To begin double cleanse your hair, the first shampoo will remove product, pollution or sebum buildup and the second will deliver the benefits of your shampoo leaving it ready for your mask. After the first wash: To be honest, I’m a creature of habit. If something isn’t broke, I rarely fix it. But, on this occasion, it was broke. My hair was uncharacteristically dry and brittle and my usual tight and coily curl pattern had become somewhat loose and lifeless. I was excited to try Coco & Eve’s masque and was sold on its “nourishing” promise from the offset. After the first wash, my hair felt soft and moisturised. I received comments from my family and colleagues about how “juicy” my curls looked!Hair routine: I wash it every 3-4 days with an anti-dandruff shampoo, then follow up with literally any conditioner, then with Aveda Damage Remedy Hair Repair before blow drying. Incorporating a hair mask into your routine can work wonders, especially if you struggle with dryness, split ends, density or chemical damage," says Fowler. "Regular use can help revive your hairs natural vibrancy and restore its strength." Hair type: I have quite tight coils, which I wear out in an Afro most days. Due to a change in diet, my hair has felt quite dry and brittle of late and has been shedding quite dramatically.

How to use it?: You’re supposed to put the mask on clean, dry hair and leave it to work in for 10 minutes before rinsing it off. Alternatively you can use the mask as an overnight treatment if your hair is looking really dry. Thoughts after one wash: I loved this immediately. I used it instead of my conditioner as instructed, and I could already feel the massive difference in quality. Normally when I wash out my conditioner my hair barely feels any softer, but with this, the silkiness remained. When my hair dried naturally it honestly looked like it had been blow-dried, the product seemed to have smoothed out the dry areas in my hair, yet added separation to my layers! After the second wash: I really don't think there was a difference?? Looking at the photos, I think my hair looks slightly smoother in the last two, but I also think it might be because I took those photos later in the day whereas the first was immediately after blow-drying, when my hair was a bit static. The texture still felt fairly rough as always. I think maybe I just didn't use enough or leave it in for long enough? Hair routine: I wash my hair three times a week using... pretty much whatever shampoo is in sight. I'm very consistent with my conditioner though (because I love my standard coconut conditioner). I often blow dry my hair when I'm in a rush, but on weekends, I simply let it air dry. As a rule of thumb, you shouldn't be applying your conditioner or your treatment masks to your roots. This is because it will make them greasy, even if you wash them out well. Apply your best hair masks from the crown of your head downwards, paying special attention to the ends.

Bottom line

Thoughts after second wash: I used it more sparingly and concentrated it on the ends more. The results were less slippery than the first time but I still wasn't into how it made my hair feel.
