I used a salon mask for three months and it made my hair drier. One day I went shopping and smelled the Garnier mask and fell in love with the scent, and because it is affordable I decided to try it. Okay... I was shocked by how much softer and silkier my hair is. I have curly hair that I straighten (and those who have curly hair know that they are dry on their own) and yet the softness lasts for at least 4 days. Only this one from now on.
