I’ve used it for at least ten years. Not that many people talk about it now but it’s an anti-ageing range and it’s so good. My hair is quite fine, so when I’m using masks, I only apply them from the mid-lengths to ends – too much richness towards my roots makes my hair go flat. The best I’ve tried is from [Shu Uemura](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2082&awinaffid=69421&platform=dl&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lookfantastic.com%2Fp%2Fshu-uemura-art-of-hair-ultimate-reset-masque-200ml%2F11708853%2F%3Frctxt%3Ddefault%26bvstate%3Dpg%3A4%2Fct%3A).
