Haircare | A Review of Briogeo's Nourishing Haircare Products

briogeo review scalp revival don't despair repair

I’m back today with another haircare brand overview, this time it’s Briogeo’s turn! Before being sent these products, I had only tried sample sizes of some of their masks before and we know those don’t tend to last too long so it’s been a treat to try the full sizes! Briogeo are a “clean” at Sephora brand and their products are vegan, sulphate and silicone free, cruelty free and vegan.

Going straight in with my favourite of the bunch and the Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal and Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo* / $54 Sephora CA / £36 Sephora UK has really impressed me as you might have seen from my Best Beauty Discoveries 2022 post! I am a sucker for a scalp scrub and have tried quite a few over the years. Although I have an oily scalp, I sometimes get dandruff, and, as a big user of dry shampoo between washes, I love scalp scrubs to reset my scalp and help remove build-up. Ingredients wise, Scalp Revival uses vegetable-derived micro-exfoliators to remove dead skin cells and build-up from the scalp to support a clean, balanced, and healthy scalp. It also contains Binchotan charcoal to draw impurities from the scalp and hair follicle, a cooling blend of peppermint and spearmint oils (so you know it also smells so refreshing and minty!) to reduce scalp itchiness and tea tree oil for anti-septic and healing properties that reduce scalp irritation and inflammation. Coconut Oil provides superior moisturization to the scalp to combat and prevent dryness and flakiness and panthenol, provides essential nutrients to strengthen the hair roots and shaft.

The micro-exfoliators are very fine and gentle and this isn’t the “scrubbiest” scrub I have tried. In fact, the first time I used it, I was convinced this wasn't going to clean my hair properly and it was still going to be greasy after I got out of the shower as there is no lather but I couldn’t have been more wrong! I tend to use this once a week and it makes my hair look and feel the cleanest and softest it’s ever been and my scalp feels invigorated! I am obsessed!

Next up, one of Briogeo’s other bestselling products, this time from the dry and damaged line – the Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask Mask* / $50 Sephora CA / £33 Sephora UK. Another one that’s a weekly treatment and one I use along with the scalp revival! It contains rosehip oil to hydrate and control frizz and split ends, B-vitamins to restore nourishment to hair damaged by heat or chemical treatments, almond oil to enhance the shine and luster of dry or weak hair and algae extract which rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that protect from damage.

This mask is clinically proven to boost hair strength, shine, and silkiness and improve the long-term health of damaged hair. It’s a much thinner consistency than other hair masks I have used but I don’t find I have to use too much to cover the lengths of my hair (I have long but fine hair). I leave it on for 10 minutes while I shower and it rinses out easily not leaving my hair weighed down. My hair feels hydrated, soft and manageable once it’s dried and the tub is lasting me forever! It has a very subtle, enjoyable scent too!

Next, the Farewell Frizz Rosarco Milk Leave-In Conditioner* $33 / Sephora CA / £22.50 Sephora UK. This contains rosehip, argan and coconut oils, and claims to effectively fight frizz, detangle and restore hair's softness, strength, manageability, and moisture levels, while acting as a barrier against humidity. It seals the hair cuticle to lock in moisture, restore luster, and diminish frizz without leaving behind product buildup. I find this lightweight and it helps smooth my hair but I don’t think it detangles as well as my Sol de Janeiro leave in conditioner or smells as good as my OUAI leave in and it doesn’t offer heat protection (as far as I can see) so while I will use this up, I won’t necessarily rush to repurchase it!

Lastly, the B. Well Vegan Omega 3, 6,9 + Biotin Supplements $85.95*. This blend supports healthy, strong hair and it is recommended to take 2 a day. I stopped my other vitamins while I took these and while I felt my hair was healthy while I was on them, they are so expensive! Not in my budget to repurchase and I didn’t find a vast difference between these and my usual supplements other than the fact it's handy to take just 2 instead of a concoction of a few different ones!

Overall, I have really enjoyed trying this brand and the products that stand out to me the most are the Scalp Revival and deep conditioning hair mask - they are cult favourites for a reason! Have you tried anything from Briogeo before? Let me know if there is anything else I need to try!
