Miracle Rescue Intensive Bond Repair Mask with Melting Pro-V Pearls

Melts away damage and leaves hair feeling soft, smooth, and healthy after just one use

JenJenWheelin, ~5 months ago

Transforms dry, color-treated, heat-damaged hair to be softer/smoother without weighing down fine strands

nany90_3781, ~1 year ago

Rich, non-heavy texture on fine hair; noticeably smoother and stronger from mid-lengths to ends, felt protein-like after coloring

NicoleG, fine hair, ~6 months ago

Compared favorably to Olaplex No.3 on value, but scent does not last and smoothing effect is most visible when paired with heat styling

haileyk94_8040, ~1 year ago

Sealing Mask

Does not weigh down fine/thin hair; softens strands and reduces split ends, pleasant fruity scent, recyclable packaging noted

Pleasantly surprised - didn't weigh down fine, thin hair

Reduced frizz on dyed/long hair after one use; some users suggest leaving on longer than the label instructs

Moisturized strands, reduced frizz after one application

Effectively detangles and seals split ends with a mild, fragrance-sensitive-friendly scent

Love this sealing mask A+ - detangles, seals split ends, fresh mild scent

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 7 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
