My experience: Osmo Intensive Deep Repair Mask comes in a simple tube with a flip cap.

The texture of this mask is different from other hair masks I tried in the past - it's like butter, very rich and thick. It has a pleasant scent, coconut-vanilla type, which reminds me of summer because once I had a suntan lotion which smelt like this. Osmo Intensive Deep Repair Mask contains Patchouli Oil and Ylang Ylang Extract but I can't recognize these in the scent of the mask even though both are very familiar to me (they are also good for hair).

I want also to mention that Osmo Intensive Deep Repair Mask doesn't contain parabens and silicones. I have double-checked ingredients and I was pleasantly surprised because I didn't expect such a great effect from a product without silicones.

I use the mask once a week, I put it on my hair under plastic shower cap and wrap with a hot towel. I leave it for 15-30 minutes because I have very long hair with dry / split ends and I believe that the longer the better ^_^ 

When I rinse the mask off there's no slippery feeling and it's very easy to rinse it. While the hair is wet and during the styling the hair is very manageable, it doesn't tangle. Once the hair is dry, first thing I notice is incredible shine! The hair feels soft and smooth with less frizz and it looks good overall. I must say that I get used to how good my hair looks with Osmo Intensive Deep Repair Mask so I started to believe that my hair is that good on its own... I skipped the mask one week and at first I didn't realize what's with my hair and why it's so dull with lots of tangles... 

So this is the only downside of Osmo Intensive Deep Repair Mask I can speak of - its effect is not permanent. But personally I don't think it's a big problem to use this hair mask once a week. Especially considering its cost and free shipping at FeelUnique.com ^_^

Overall I'm very pleased with the quality of Osmo Intensive deep Repair Mask and would highly recommend this for everyone with long, dry hair. And I will repurchase!
