“I tried it yesterday for the first time! Loved it! Helped hydrate tf of my frizzy hair.” -Meu***

“I’ve got the bond strength version and it’s amazing. I’m not usually a drug store kind of girl (not bougie, either, I just haven’t found anything that works
as well there as the professional products I’m already using) but I will continue buying that mask until the day I die or it gets discontinued, whichever
comes first lol” -ent****************

“I will never ever go back to expensive products. For YEARS I bought the so-called “good stuff”. Tried various Redken lines mostly but also some other
salon brands, NOTHING works as well for my fine, frizzy, porous, long hair as the Dove intensive repair.
Based on the posts here I bought the mask first, and that was amazing, and I finally ran out of my Redken acid bond so I got the Dove intensive repair
shampoo and conditioner. Yall. My hair is smooth, silky, full, shiny… all from $4.99 grocery store shampoo and conditioner. Bless everyone in this sub
who recommended it.” -liq************

“I go between the Dove Intensive Repair line and the Dove Bond Repair and I am obsessed. My hair is growing longer & stronger than it ever has, and is
so smooth. I love that I can get quality products at an affordable price!” -Roc******

“Makes my natural silver hair shiny and soft!” -u/M****************************

“I only get my haircut every 6 months and I credit it to this mask! It keeps my hair hydrated and supple for days. There is no product buildup, and the
smell makes me feel like it costs 5x more than it does.” -cel****************

“I hate the smell, it’s like an old lady, wearing too much intense perfume smell. Also, it doesn’t do much for my hair, still seems dry.”
-u/N*******************

“I love this product! I smells amazing and i have seen real improvement since implementing it 1-2 times/week. I actually read a few people mention how
good of a product is on reddit haha” -Alw************

“Creamy and lightweight. Perfect for fine hair without weighing it down. Hair is smooth and shiny. Smells amazing too!” -Mel**********
11
“I was influenced by tik tok but this time they got it right! It’s hydrating and my hair craves it. My curls pop and when I feel like something different,
my flat iron goes through smoothly thanks to the 10-1 mask.” -Gri********
12
“I ditched my Shu Uemura deep conditioning mask for this, and that is saying (and saving!) a LOT!” -90s*************

“Dove was a game changer for my long thin, bleached damaged hair.” -3co********

“This mask smells so good and leaves my hair very soft. It honestly feels like a high end product but is very affordable!” -Hel*************

“I love the intensive repair mask! My hair is so soft and manageable after using it! The fastest deep conditioner my coily hair! Send me a few jars Dove!”
-Cut****************

“Currently in my shower. I like it a whole lot. Found out about it via Abbey Yung.” -cfl****

“Hands down, this is the best deep conditioner I have found at Target. Smells amazing, works well, and is actually affordable. Thank you Dove for
continuing to make great products in a world that is obsessed with squeezing every dollar out of the consumer. I love this product!”

“My husband and I both use this product- I have extremely thick, straight hair and he has thick, curly hair. It does really well with both of our hair
textures! Leaves hair silky without weighing it down. Love that it’s cruelty free, it also smells so good.” -flu***********

“Sure! I rotate shampoos and conditioners between: L’Oreal Glossing (the silver bottle) L’Oreal Glycolic Gloss (pink bottle) K18 PH Protect
The silver Glossing line in my favorite, but can leave my hair feeling weighed down if I use it every wash. The glycolic gloss is lighter but still leaves my
hair really silky and soft. The K18 is perfect for when I do the molecular repair mask every 3-4 washes.
For actual masks I love the Dove 10 in 1 serum mask.
After washing I use: L’Oreal Hyaluron plump leave in Leaf & Flower Phytomolecular Oil- THE BEST oil on the market. Trust me. I will repurchase until I die.
No styling products, dry shampoos, hairspray, mousse, nothing. I don’t like how they make my hair feel and I’m very passionate about not putting things
on the scalp. Healthy scalp is #1!” -No-************

“This is my favorite hair conditioning product! The smell is fine. The mask is a lovely texture, and it makes my hair so soft and shiny! :) I wish I could use
it every day :)” -Afr************
22
“I love this mask and will always repurchase! Makes my dry hair soo soft and flowy, plus the scent is amazing!! Love everything about it”

“10/10 a dove girly inside and out the bonding shampoo and conditioner along with this and the bonding oil and it’s life changing! Amazballs is all I can
say truthfully” -Bea****************
24
“I actually bought this because of the ad on Reddit that allowed the comments to be open and honest about the product. I’ve used it only once so
far and….wow….where have you been all my life?
My sister-in-law used my long (down to my butt length), natural, healthy dark-brown hair as a canvas in her journey to becoming a cosmetologist and,
long story short, I now have shoulder length half-straight, half-curly perm dyed hair. I struggle with it everyday, specifically in the dyed/perm ends since
the lighter color makes the damage more obvious. If I brushed it out, it was incredibly frizzy and if I straightened it, it would look crispy!
Not anymore thanks to this hair repair mask. Dove, I love you, please don’t ever change this product!!! My hair looks like it just went through some
expensive treatment to achieve this level of softness and health, but I spent under $10!!!!!!!” -Man*******************
25
“I have naturally curly/coily hair and tried this mask for the first time and omg. You can look in my history and see, I’m all Dove now. Head to toes 😂”
-She***********

“Got my mother in law and sister in law hooked onto it when we went on a big vacation to Hawaii and were living at the beach. All of us like the smell
but honestly I put in products after the shower so even if I didn’t like the scent I wouldn’t mind. It makes my hair so silky smooth though and saved it
from all the salt water and sun for sure!” -Eco****
27
“Hi Dove! I literally just bought this for my hair after posting on Reddit how extremely dry damaged my hair is. I keep seeing the ad for this hair mask &
used my last $20 to buy it.
OOOOOOOO-MYYYYYYYYYYYY-GOSHHHHHH……..After leaving it in my hair for itleast 30 minutes my hair was sooooooo silky, soft, no tangles what
so ever. So I blow dried my hair a little bit and my hair was still so unbelievably better! I even went to work as an Educator today and told my coworker
to buy it too! Just buy it. It’s awesome! Holy grail of hair mask” -U/S**************

“I’m obsessed with this stuff I’ll never be without it again!!” -Lan***********

“So far, I have tried the hyaluronic and amino acids masks. They are both amazing. I use the hyaluronic mask the most on my 4a/4b natural curls so I can
avoid protein overload. They both do a great job of detangling and making my hair soft and hydrated. They have the best long lasting fragrance. I wish
the jars were a little bigger. The amino curl and hyaluronic masks are very similar. I think the amount of protein is the biggest difference. I bought the
intensive repair mask but I haven’t tried it yet. I have had bad luck in the past because when I start to like a new product it gets discontinued. However,
these masks seem to be pretty popular. They are constantly out of stock at Walmart. I have been forced to buy them off of Amazon instead.”

“I admittedly bought this because of an ad on Reddit. I really enjoyed it! The smell is nice but doesn’t trigger my migraines like other heavily scented
products. My hair feels immediately softer. My only request would be maybe a more lightweight version for fine hair?” -bby*****
31
“It’s incredible. I cannot believe how luxurious the product is. I used prestige brand for decades and switched to Dove. My hair is softer, healthier, and I
will never go back.” -Law***********
32
“Try the Dove intensive repair line, especially the mask. It’s so good and beats expensive hair masks!” -T1s*****
33
“I love this shit!!!! I got the full line included the shampoo conditioner and mask cuz I saw it briefly on Abby Yung method and I wanted to try it. I just
bleached my whole head twice from black dye to go back copper and my hair literally feels better than it did before the bleach and the smell actually
lasts. I’ll never use anything else. And I’ve bought all the expensive stuff like amika and pureology etc” -Mac***********
34
“This stuff literally saved my hair!! I’ve been bleaching my hair nonstop for almost 5 years now and this last round of bleach really fried my hair. I picked
this up from a different reddit users suggestion and I’m on my 3rd jar now!! It makes my hair soft, smooth and a LOT less like the horse hay I turned it
into. I like the mask so much I’ve considered picking up the shampoo and conditioner and I usually never buy entire hair systems, I usually just mix and match” -all*****
35
“I grew up in hair salons and up until a year or so ago, you would have to pry products like Kerastase from my cold dead hands. But life happens,
budgeting happens, and the fact that I can buy a product like Dove 10-in-1 hair mask at any drug or grocery store for a fraction of the price is such a
win. My very bleached blonde and heat styled hair drinks this stuff up. It provides so much slip so even when wet and weakened, my hair can be
detangled and styled without breaking or damaging. End result for me styled or even air dried is soft healthy hair. Love this whole line!” -Dal*****
36
“I just bought it and tried it for the first time yesterday. First attempt was positive, only negative was the slippery tile floor when I rinsed it! Be
careful! 🤣” -chi*************
37
“Please, please, please add less fragrance to the products. The results are great. I have used high end and the results compare but the fragrance takes
away from the results.” -Oly******
38
“Very moisturizing and smells hella bad. Like, not a good fresh cleaner smell, but like that old aldehyde kind of smell.” -Res****************
39
“This mask is amazing! My fine hair usually can’t handle any kind of mask and ends up getting weighed down. But not with this. My hair is soft and
moisturized but still has volume and bounce. The smell seems a bit strong in the shower but it does not linger in my hair once it is dry. My fine waves
love this and I will continue to repurchase. Please don’t ever stop making this!” -For************

“I decided to try the Dove 10in1 hair mask after seeing mostly good reviews on Reddit. I’ve tried a lot of different hair products promising miraculous
results after the first application.
I bought the hair mask to use after bleaching my dark brown hair blonde to the roots. The processing usually leaves my curly/wavy hair rough, dry, and
tangled for a while after. The day after bleaching, I used my regular shampoo. I could already feel that my hair was tangled.
I opened the jar of hair mask, and it smelled really good! I smoothed a bit through my hair, and my fingers ran straight through the tangles like magic!
My hair was easier to brush through once it was dried than it would ever be with my usual products.
I am excited to see how my hair does after each additional application!” -but************
41
“I used to buy expensive salon brand products for my hair. About a year ago I switched to Dove shampoo/conditioner (hydrating formula) and the 10 in
1 deep conditioning treatment. I love the way they make my hair smell and feel. People ask me all the time what I use on my hair and I don’t gatekeep- I
tell them!” -No_********
42
“I have naturally curly hair and this mask said it was “hydrating,” but just wasn’t really doing it for me. Kinda smells like expired hotel shampoo”
-Ala************
43
“I was so excited to try this mask. What a disappointment. 😒 The smell was way too overpowering. I’m all about hair care and the good smells, but this,
oof yikes. I left it on my hair the directed amount of time and it left my hair greasy. Smooth, but greasy which is not the vibe. I had to shower again and
shampoo twice just to feel normal. I love dove but this was a miss.” -KTA*********
44
“I looooove the smell. I’m on round 3 or 4 of repurchase of this specific product. The smell lingers in my hair, my hair is silky soft. I will say that
occasionally I find it hard to get all of this product out of my hair when I’m rinsing it leading to my hair feeling heavy. I don’t feel like it’s formulated for
fine hair. I’d be interested in buying a masque that is formulated specifically for oily fine hair but still feels luxuriously rich and moisturizing like this one. I
love you dove <3 you’re the only products in my shower except my razor bc you don’t make one <3” -No_********
45
“I absolutely love Dove’s intensive repair mask. I heard about it on Abby Young’s videos and I tried this mask along with the intensive repair shampoo and
condition. My hair feels much more healthy, soft and pretty. I love that it is affordable yet works just as well as some of the other high end products I
have tried. My teenage daughters love it as well. I highly recommend it!” -Dra*******
46
“I use the Bond repair mask and all the products in the bond repair line. I absolutely love them all. I was using much more expensive products before and
can’t believe I wasted all that money when I could’ve been using these products all along.” -Imp****************
47
“I wish I was lying, but this ish slaps. My (not fried) sparse ends felt fuller somehow even after one hopeful wash. Crazy results” -Hor*****************
48
“My hair has never felt softer or been more smooth than when I started using this mask regularly.” -Red***********

“I love how soft it makes my hair but the scent is soooo strong. Like I wish it was just it was a subtle scent” -St-****

“This scent needs its own perfume!!” -Ben****************
