Damaged, over-processed or brittle hair that needs more than a daily conditioner, especially bleached, highlighted and lightened blonde hair that has lost strength, softness and shine. Oligo states it suits all hair types and colours.

A retail treatment for home use; the 500 ml pump size suits salons and anyone using it on long or thick hair.

When blonde hair is past what a daily conditioner can handle, it needs a concentrated dose of what lightening took out. Repair Mask delivers Oligo's ceramide, plant-protein and oil complex in a richer cream that stays on for several minutes, aiming to restore lipids, rebuild strength and bring back softness and shine. Used every couple of weeks or whenever hair feels rough, it keeps the rest of the Blacklight REP routine working from a stronger base.

• After shampooing, apply a generous amount to clean, damp hair from mid-lengths to ends.
• Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly.
• Use once every two weeks or as needed for deep repair.

Pros:

• More concentrated than the daily conditioner, for hair that is noticeably damaged
• Smooths frizz and improves manageability as well as strength
• Short 5 to 10 minute treatment time
• Available in a 500 ml pump size

Cons:

• Rich texture can weigh down fine hair if overused or applied at the roots
• Not a toning product; it does nothing for brassiness
• Fragranced
