My hair has never looked better since I started using their hair mask along with hair wash a year ago. It’s creamy, thick, and delightful to use. Also, the best detangler! I swear, the way my hair is perfectly soft and curly after I let it sit in my little twists for a few minutes, then wash it out is absolute magic. It actually kind of makes me mad that my hair had to suffer so long before BREAD was invented lol. Love the packaging, too. Looks so cute in my shower. The price is great for the value. Just all around the goat. 🐐" —Rachel
