Meet Arey’s Deep Hair Conditioner – Inspired by Customer Feedback

Want to know the best part of being a haircare expert (Trichologist) and Arey’s Co-Founder and product creator? It’s YOU – the people who use our products and inspire us with your customer feedback. Arey’s new deep hair conditioner – Masque – is the result of combining your comments and our expertise.

 

 

We wanted you to be at the heart of our newest product so we decided to listen and learn from our customers before creating the deep hair conditioner you told us you were missing.


Why We Started With Your Voice

A customer query began our quest for the perfect deep hair conditioner because customer-driven means listening to you. So when Jordan reached out to us on IG about finding the best conditioner for her coarse, unruly hair type, we decided the best solution was some focused face time with me.

 

 

Arey’s award-winning products have always been the result of collaboration – with scientists, stylists, and our customers. Our mission is to create clean, science-backed formulas that deliver results without compromising on safety or transparency. So, who better to guide us than the people who use our products every day?

 

How Arey Crowd-Sourced Our New Deep Hair Conditioner

As a customer-focused company, we know the best way to serve you – our community — is to ask what you want most in a new product. We listened carefully, gathered your feedback, and turned your needs into action. The result? A groundbreaking deep hair conditioner designed with you, for you.

 

 

Over the last year, I read through thousands of emails, reviews, and social media comments and personally spoke with hundreds of Arey customers. 

 

Here’s what my one-on-one customer consultations revealed: 

You wanted targeted solutions for textured hair types. Many of you shared stories of strands that once felt silky now feeling coarse, frizz-prone, or fragile.

You craved deep nourishment without heaviness. Some silicone-based conditioners left your hair greasy or weighed down, when what you really wanted was feather-light hydration.

You asked for clean, safe ingredients. Harsh chemicals, parabens, and synthetic fragrances were non-negotiables for many of you — you wanted plant-powered care you can trust.

You longed for fast results. Who has 20 minutes to hang around with a hair mask on? You wanted a deep hair conditioner that only takes a few minutes to deliver a lasting improvement in strength, shine, and manageability.

 

Whether it’s your hair type, chemical treatments (including color), or aging that has made your hair dry, coarse or hard to manage, our goal is to deliver you effective haircare solutions to perfect the hair that you have.

 


A Brand New Way to Hydrate Your Hair

Talking to Arey users with coarse, dry or textured hair, I learned that sometimes our daily moisturizing conditioner Smooth just isn’t enough to deliver smooth, manageable hair. 

I love our Shower Duo shampoo and conditioner set – Wash and Smooth – because they are the perfect balanced cleanser and conditioner for all hair types. But, some hair types can need a little more moisture than a regular conditioner can provide – and that’s where Masque steps in.

 

 

Armed with your feedback and guided by scientific research, our formulation team went to work. Our goal was to design a unique fast-acting, lightweight, deeply hydrating conditioning treatment for dry, coarse, chemically-treated or textured hair.

 

Masque is designed to deliver results to these hair types: 

💧Aging and greying hair types: grey hair is naturally coarser, dryer and harder to style. 

💧Colored and chemically-treated hair: dying your hair roughens the outer layer of each hair strand making it appear dry and coarse.

💧Natural and textured hair: wavy, curly and coily hair is naturally dryer and more fragile and needs extra moisture.

 

You asked and we answered. Masque Deep Conditioner softens and restores dry and coarse hair types for sleeker, more flexible hair without residue or buildup.

 

 

The Clean Hero Ingredients You Asked For

It might seem like the answer to dry hair is the creamiest, most oil-rich hair conditioner you can find, but many of you shared that these just add more weight than moisture. That’s because many deep conditioners just coat your strands with heavy silicones and oils that will only weigh down your hair. They can also cause unwanted buildup on your hair and your scalp, leading to dull, lank hair and irritated itchy scalp skin. 

 

Your feedback guided every decision, from texture to scent to performance. 

 

Here are some of the hero ingredients you’ll find in Masque deep hair conditioner:

Shea butter: deeply moisturizing and smoothing, shea butter locks moisture into each strand, sealing and smoothing your hair cuticle (outer layer).

Apricot kernel oil: rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E, apricot kernel oil protects and hydrates your hair to help reduce frizz and the appearance of breakage.

Sunflower seed extract: lighter than olive or argan oils, sunflower seed extract provides weightless hydration and protection from oxidative stress (cellular damage).

Silagel (Silicone Alternative): a lightweight, clean, alternative to silicone that boosts shine and seals in moisture with a breathable barrier without causing buildup.

Clean ingredients: Masque is free from sulfates, pthalates, synthetic fragrances, polyethylene glycol, formaldehyde, and dyes. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free.

 

Your hair deserves the same care and attention as your skin. That means clean, effective, and safe haircare solutions that boost your hair’s growth, appearance and overall health. 

 

 

Because when it comes to beauty, we know that the best results don’t come from trends or guesswork. They come from listening.

 

What You Had to Say About Masque

After all the scientific testing we knew we had one more very important development stage – your feedback. You inspired us to create Masque and we really wanted to be sure we’d designed your perfect deep conditioning solution. So we sent out samples to our feedback community, and here’s what you had to say:

 

 

 

The Best Way to Use Arey’s Deep Conditioning Mask

Masque is easy to introduce into your usual haircare routine. And the best bit – Masque hair mask works in only a few minutes. No more hanging around for ages waiting for an old school hair mask to work. You told us that you wanted results fast, so that’s how Masque works – fast. 


Here’s how to use Arey’s Masque hair mask:

  1. Wash your hair with Washour Mela-9® shampoo – for a balanced, gentle cleanse. 

  2. Apply Masque generously from mid-length to ends and leave for a few minutes.

  3. Rinse, dry and style as usual. Your hair will feel softer, smoother, and more manageable.

 

As a Trichologist, I am all about a holistic, inside-out approach to having your best hair. That’s why Arey’s core haircare product is a hair health supplement, Not Today Grey. For even more hair growth, color and health benefits, I always recommend my clients add Not Today, Grey into their haircare routine. Read more here about how a hair health supplement can deliver stronger, longer hair and fewer greys. 

 


Masque – A Love Letter to Our Arey Community

Our new deep hair conditioner is more than a product — it’s proof of what happens when a community and a brand work together. You told us what you needed. You trusted us to listen. And we’re proud to deliver something we truly believe will transform the way you care for your hair.

To everyone who filled out a survey, spoke to me on Zoom, left a review, or sent us a message — thank you. Your feedback has shaped the future of our line, and Masque is just the beginning.

Your scalp and hair health is important to us. That's why we offer up to 25% off on all subscription orders to help keep you on track with your hair health goals. Because we believe that science + consistency = results.

We are Arey.
