Good hair mask!

UPDATE 12/11/14: I just used this again last night and I really slathered it on! I used about a tablespoon and a half, maybe even two, and my hair was softer than normal. Maybe that is the trick??? .................. I recently came across a You Tube review on this product and really wanted to try it. The two products that I am most picky about are hair masks and mascaras; they have to REALLY perf...read moreorm for me to be impressed. Although, I thought this was a nice hair mask, it wasn't life transforming for me. The jar says it is recommended for fine, fragile and color processed hair; while my hair is color processed, it is thick and long. I use about a heaping tablespoon (or more) about once a week after shampooing and I leave it on for a good half hour. The jar lasts me about 2 months. It leaves my hair soft and more manageable, but not any more so than many other masks I have used. I am actually not partial to the scent; it has a very strong note of Gardenia (or something similar??) and it is too flowery for me. I would have rather had a coconut or "clean" smell. The smell would not deter me from the product, if it left me super impressed. After spending so much on this product (I think $30), I was telling my stylist how discouraged I was (maybe this is the 15th hair mask I have tried??) and she suggested using organic coconut oil instead, so I will try it and see how it works. This may work for you, so I wouldn't discount it. I am just super picky! BTW, I used the entire jar so it can't be that bad, right? :)

Pretty scent

I don't know if this is supposed to be better than the regular Monoi Oil conditioner, but this was thinner and almost felt watery. It has a pretty scent that stays for a long time when used with the Monoi Oil shampoo. I didn't see much difference when I used this mask compared to the Monoi Oil conditioner. It didn't do much except make my hair smell luscious afterwards. I'll stick to my Pantene hair mask instead of spending extra $$$ on this!

Carols Daughter Monoi Oil Repairing Mask

I have read many comments on deep conditioners and this is the first time CD Monoi Oil Mask is making the top 10. I happen to think it is a great product and introduced it to my daughter who loves it as well. My hair is so soft and feels well moisturized. After a few uses you will also notice less sheading. The smell is awesome, my husband always wants to smell my hair after I deep condition.

Smells is AMAZING!!

I have thin, slightly curly hair that is ultra fine...but takes a beating on occasion from the usual suspects- sun, pool, heat. While this conditioner smells like a tropical paradise, its actual moisturizing effects are only so-so. It works, but only if you coat your hair in it and keep it on for maybe 30 mins. Anything less than that and it might as well be your average conditioner. I recommend, but with reservations.

Great smell

This mask was very moisturizing. I was very satisfied with how soft and smooth my hair was after using it. My favorite part of this mask though is the smell! And my hair smelled that great for days.

very good

I have dry, damaged hair and this stuff works. It's expensive. Wish the container was bigger because I have thick, dry hair.

This is my crack

First I have to say that the smell of this mask is EVERYTHING to me. It reminds me of being on the beach in Nassau with a cocktail in my hand, lounging with my girls. Needless to say it's tropical. I may be on an episode of strange addiction sniffing my Carol's Daughter. I first received this as a sample and I instantly fell in love, but I tend to be fickle...and cheap, or at the very least ...read morethrifty. Due to the at home color experimentation I'd tried my hair was damaged. The mask was very creamy and rich. The product claims 90% less breakage after one use. I wasn't experiencing breakage at this point so that was a non factor for me. However, my hair was so soft, so smooth and smelled great. The full sized version was around 30 bucks so I decided to try another mask from Pantene. I'm very fond of the version from Pantene too, but as I continued to color my hair it just didn't preform like I needed it too. A short back story on my hair: Naturally I'm a thick wavy brunette with loads of red tones. I decided come heck or high water I was going to be a blonde. I used FIVE boxes of lightener (within the span two months) before my hair was uniformly bleached. My hair is(was) a fried, crispy mess. Since Pantene wasn't cutting it, & my local Ulta picked up Carol's Daughter I decided to give this another go. I paid $29.00 and received another sample w/ purchase. The directions call for this to be used once a week. With the current status of my hair I use it at least twice a week. I have noticed less brakeage, but I have doubts about 90%. With out this mask I don't think I would be able to present myself to the public. For me this is a Godsend and I dare say I'll continue to use this once my hair returns to it's natural glory.
