1. Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kind™ Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfoods Hair Mask 8 oz
Best for Thin, Weak or Brittle Hair
Avocado oil is a miracle worker for thin hair because it’s lightweight and rich, with reparative and hair-strengthening properties. Like avocados themselves, avocado oil is made up of fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin E and proteins—all essential nutrients for healthy hair. Thin hair tends to break easily, especially when exposed to heat styling tools like blow-dryers and curling irons, so adding an oil that helps repair breakage and strengthen the hair shaft is ideal.
2. Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!™ Strengthening Treatment Hair Oil 1 oz
Best for Dry, Damaged Hair
Rose Flower oil is a known natural antioxidant, rich in vitamins and minerals. It absorbs quickly and helps repair damage by restoring hair with essential lipids, like ceramides and fatty acid–rich ingredients. Rose flower oil aids in preventing future damage that can be caused by free radicals. It also locks in moisture without weighing the hair down or causing it to look greasy.
3. Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Hair Mask 8 oz
Best for Dull Hair
Sweet almond oil contains a high concentration of proteins and vitamins A, B, D and E, all of which help add shine to otherwise lackluster hair. It’s also lightweight, making it a great resource for leave-in protection and extended shine. Also, because it has emollient properties, it enhances the softness and manageability of the hair, giving it an overall healthy, more lustrous appearance.
4. Briogeo Farewell Frizz™ Rosehip, Argan & Coconut Hair Oil 1 oz
Best for Frizz and Flyaways
Argan oil is an excellent ingredient to add to any hair-care routine because it’s loaded with deep conditioning properties that help soften hair and fight frizz. The oil itself is made up of fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants which, when applied to the scalp directly, nourish and strengthen the hair. It’s also lightweight and can be used on dry hair as a styling agent, giving the hair a subtle sheen and taming flyaways.
5. Briogeo Scalp Revival™ Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Scalp Scrub Shampoo 8 oz
Best for Scalp Health and Damaged Hair
Coconut oil is one of those ingredients that can be used from head to toe. This powerhouse ingredient enhances the strength of hair and prevents hair from becoming dry and brittle. It’s comprised of antioxidants and nutrients like vitamin E, vitamin K and iron, which helps combat and eradicate dandruff. It also contains antifungal and antimicrobial properties that keep the scalp and hair clean and protected.
