Maleic Bond Repair Complex 5% Hair Mask for Damaged Hair, Frizzy Hair, Split Ends & Breakage Control | | Transglutaminase, Amino Acids & Ceramides | For Women & Men | 7.05 Oz/200 gm

Firstly, I have used and loved K18, what this product is a supposed partial dupe for. Unlike that, this is a rinse-out mask, but still requires freshly washed hair before application so make sure you wash first! I recently went a little overboard with lightening my hair to change colors and my curls got loose and limp as a result. I still have some K18 left but I wanted to try this out and really give it a good test run on bleach damaged hair. After 1 use, my hair was certainly softer and less frizzy but still straight and limp. 3 uses, and I could see curls trying to spring up again. 6 uses, and the curls are continuing to regain their shape while my hair overall feels softer, less frazzled, and shinier. That's faster results than K18 typically gives me, and a massively lower price point (though I did also use the pre-wash oil alongside this at times) I haven't used it any more yet but I expect improvements to continue. Some things to note: This is NOT a deep conditioner and you will need to use a regular conditioner after rinsing this out, especially if you have curly hair. You don't need to drench your hair this bit you do need to use more than you would with K18. I use about as much as I would a regular conditioner and then comb it through for even coverage. Don't expect immediately dramatic results if your hair has really been through the ringer. Again, the first couple of uses just left my hair softer and less frizzy, it wasn't until 3 or 4 that I saw my natural texture coming back slowly.

I am sensitive/allergic to fragrances so there are many good products on the market that just don't work for me, but this one has been fantastic. I have fine 3a loose curls and currently don't have any chemical processing on my hair (virgin) and it tends towards high porosity. I was looking specifically for a product that would help strengthen my fine hair as I grow it out long and I am very pleased with this one. I tried K18 after a friend raved about it but literally did not see any benefit after applying twice, so I gave the rest of the bottle to my friend. I certainly noticed a difference after using this product though! I have re-purchased it several times and keep a spare around too. My tips: always use on clean, freshly shampooed hair. I use a generous amount and add enough so that all my hair feels well-coated. Sometimes I need to add a little more product after it absorbs. It doesn't have a lot of slip, but I can detangle my hair with it in. It needs to sit awhile for best results, you should feel the softness change after several minutes (at least 5) and only then rinse it out. I've tried leaving it in for hours but I think 20-30 minutes is ideal if you are looking for a dramatic benefit and don't have all day. I also like scrunching my curls with the product in and feel this helps strengthen the curl pattern. As others mentioned, you will likely want to use a regular conditioner (or a leave-in) afterwards for slip and extra moisture. Since my hair is not chemically damaged, I only use it every 3-4 weeks and rotate with moisturizing treatments. However when I first tried it several years ago, my hair needed more repair and I used it weekly until I felt I was overdoing it on protein treatments. After using this regularly for several years, my hair has no split ends even after more than 6 months without a trim. The ends still feel blunt like they were freshly cut too! I have had very little breakage and my curl pattern is very resilient and bounces back easily. My hair looks shiny and healthy and holds moisture in better and is less frizzy. Definitely recommend!

Do not buy!! It is contaminated with some kind of hard semi clear plastic pieces. Did not feel the pieces until I started applying to my hair. Immediately started rinsing this out and even for the few seconds it was in made my hair so dried out. It’s like it sucked whatever moisture was in the strand out. Like make it feel crispy. Also used the shampoo and horrible. I had ten times the amount of hair rinse out then usual. I have never had this much hair fall! I have long past my bra strap fine but very dense hair. I take very good care of it usually using Olaplex and Redken and thought I would try this to save money. This damaged my hair don’t buy!!

I bought this as a dupe for K18 and I was not disappointed! For reference, I have very thick, frizzy, coarse hair that is highlighted blonde and dark blonde. The front of my hair tends to have a lot of breakage. I used K18 for months and did not feel like my hair got any better. I’ve only used Minimalist Hair Mask 2 times and my hair feels stronger, silkier and less frizzy. I could tell after I rinsed it out that it worked wonders in my hair. I also use the Abby Young method and this product is definitely replacing K18 and saving me a ton of money in the process.

The best way to calm down frizz with this conditioner is to rinse with cooler water and leave some in to coat the hair. Works very well and no fragrance to set off my allergies. Reasonably priced!

I’m so torn because my hair feels stronger after two months of using it once a week but turned my bleach blond hair brassy after 1 use. It’s a good product but do not use if you have bleach blonde hair. It’s an expensive mistake. The pictures above are before and after washing it once.

Used this for about 3 months on my coarse curly hair. Recently I've noticed my hairs been feeling crunchy and dry even when I blow it out straight. gave this a try and I can definitely feel the difference after I use it, immediately. I was on the fence about getting K58 but I couldn't justify the price. Saw Nina Pools recommendation and figured what the heck. I wouldn't say this gives long term results. However The day of using and after there's a huge difference for me, I assume if you have more regular not as coarse and curly as min you would probably feel a more significant change then I did.

Truly fragrance free, and helps frizzy hair - a great combination hard to find!

Ich habe den Conditioner nun mehrfach nach dem Haarewaschen benutzt und finde ihn sehr angenehm. Er hat eine cremige Konsistenz, lässt sich gut im Haar verteilen und schon nach kurzer Einwirkzeit fühlt sich das Haar spürbar weicher an. Nach dem Ausspülen sind die Haare glatt und lassen sich problemlos durchkämmen. Vorteile: Macht das Haar weich und geschmeidig Erleichtert das Kämmen deutlich Angenehmer, frischer Duft Cremige Textur, leicht aufzutragen Gute Ergänzung zum Shampoo Nachteile: Für sehr trockenes oder strapaziertes Haar könnte die Pflegewirkung stärker sein Die Flasche ist etwas klein für den Preis Fazit: Ein solider Conditioner für die tägliche Haarpflege, der Glanz und Geschmeidigkeit verleiht. Ideal für normales bis leicht trockenes Haar – würde ich wieder kaufen.

I'd give this product more than 5 stars if I could! I've noticed a significant difference in my colored, frizzy hair. It conditioned well and simultaneously helped to repair hair bonds. You can see the difference after the very first wash. I left it on for 30 minutes before rinsing.

The delivery arrived on schedule! I’ve already used it in combination with the shampoo! It's wonderful! It doesn't weigh down the hair and deeply hydrates my dry hair! After washing with the shampoo and this conditioner, my hair feels light and silky! I love it! The minimalist shampoo + conditioner will 100% be my daily products for the week!!!

I was a bit sceptical and I also didn't realise it's more like a conditioner because you have to wash it off. But every time I use this my hair is sooooo soft and way less frizzy. I haven't had any conditionor that has the same effect. I love this and will definetly buy it again!
