Review: Briogeo's Vanilla Birthday Cake hair mask is one of my favorites. - I always stock up on Briogeo's Vanilla Birthday Cake hair mask whenever it comes back in stock or goes on sale. I prefer this scent over the original. It reminds me a lot of Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream (that warm salted caramel and golden pistachio vibe), but wrapped in layers of vanilla cake and topped with a rich, homemade buttercream. As a gourmand girlie, it smells incredible to me. The mask itself is very rich and nourishing, so I avoid my oily-prone roots and keep it focused on my lengths and ends. It does an amazing job of smoothing and softening my dry, color-treated lengths of hair. My hair is fine, but this doesn't weigh it down at all when I keep it off the scalp. It leaves my hair feeling noticeably stronger, silkier, and more hydrated, with my split ends looking sealed and less frizzy. The vanilla scent lingers lightly in my hair after rinsing and drying, and it's creamy and comforting vanilla, but not overpowering. Overall, this is one of my favorite deep conditioning masks, and the birthday cake scent just makes me happy, along with the cute, limited edition packaging. I pray that they eventually make a chocolate cake scented mask as well.
Review: It's worth the price for my curls - I am not one for fancy products, and I did not expect to think this conditioner was going to be worth it. To my chagrin, my hair is the softest and smoothest it's ever been. I have a curl between a 3a and 3b, I've been using this conditioner as part of my weekly wash for a year and a half and it is incredible how much easier it is to control frizz, define curls, and eventually comb and detangle during the next wash. Like all products it isn't for everyone, but I have tried a lot of conditioners, and this is the best one I've found for my hair for sure; it is noticeably healthier, to both me, and my curly hair stylist.

## Features

- CLINICALLY PROVEN STRENGTH IN MINUTES: Reduces breakage in 10 minutes and delivers up to 2x stronger hair after three uses for softer, smoother results without heaviness.
- PROTEIN AND MOISTURE BALANCE: Plant proteins with biotin, algae extract, and rosehip, sweet almond, and argan oils help reinforce the hair shaft while delivering rich hydration and silky slip.
- CLEAN, VEGAN, SILICONE-FREE: 97% naturally derived formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from sulfates, parabens, and phthalates to support a clean routine and color-safe care.
- FOR ALL TEXTURES AND STYLES: Ideal for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair; safe for chemically processed hair to maintain softness and shine between salon visits.
- WEEKLY TREATMENT, SILKY RESULTS: Use once weekly in place of conditioner to revive brittle ends, minimize frizz, improve manageability, and keep styles smooth and glossy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone tell me the directions for this product? Thanks!**
A: I have fine hair. This is my holy grail of conditioners.I use it with every shower - shampoo, apply a flat tblsp to your hair ( my hair is mid back), comb through, put it up w a clip, allow to absorb for about 5-10 min.Deep condition: apply to moist hair, comb through, put shower cap on, let it sit for 30min, rinse.Your hair will thank you!

**Q: Can I leave this in overnight?**
A: We typically don't recommend overnight usage of this mask.  It is a rinse out product, also.  If you are looking for an overnight repair treatment, please refer to our Don't Despair, Repair! Gel-to-Oil Overnight Repair Treatment.  Thank you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it!
*by J***M on March 17, 2026*

I love this! It works great! Super moisturizing and leaves my hair soft and shiny! And I LOVE the birthday cake scent! I’m addicted! I have long, thin, fine, damaged hair that’s colored and it doesn’t get weighed down. A little goes a long way and you only need to use it about 4x a month so it’s definitely worth the price.
