Review title is LEAVES HAIR SOFT & SHINY [SEP] I had bought myself a  heat cap for my hair because my hair is dry and it has really been thinning since I started becoming middle aged. My sister gave me this deep condition protein  hair mask a few months ago to try. I have been using it once a week and my hair is definitely a lot softer and shinier. The one thing that really sticks out is the smell, it is very pleasant and not over powering.
