Most Helpful Positive Review I have only positive things to say about this mask I'm confused about the negative reviews. Let me share my experience with this product.
For starters, I only allowed it to sit on my head for all of 4, maybe 5 hours. I used the cap it comes with. I applied the mask while my hair was damp and towel dried, after I had shampooed and conditioned it as normal.
I read the reviews before I rinsed, and because of that I was worried about this residue everyone is complaining of. Honestly, I didn't experience any of the unpleasant residue. I made sure to rinse my hair super thoroughly, and after that I applied no additional product to my hair so that I would see the true effects of the product itself. I blow dried and heat styled and I have to say I love what this mask did for my hair. The shine and softness is noticeable. It concealed any split ends and overall smoothed my hair. I didn't even use any heat protection aside from the mask and I feel that the coating the mask provides actually acted as a pretty effective heat protectant because after straightening my hair is still super soft and smooth. As an added bonus, this mask also has a great, clean smell that lingers in your hair.
Again, I don't feel any nasty residue or greasiness in my hair whatsoever, and I applied from root to end as instructed. Maybe the trick is using it a shorter amount of time? Though the mask is branded as "overnight", I used it about half that time and I feel I still reaped all of the benefits.
I would definitely recommend this mask for people with hair similar to mine, that is to say, people with normal, straight/wavy, color-treated hair.
Most Helpful Critical Review So Far, This Product Does Not Meet My Expectation I have very thick, shoulder length hair, and was lured by the product's marketing and the "fairy tale transformation" that my hair would experience. I also loved the idea of the UnWash Hair Wrap that was included. With visions of Cinderella hair and a restful slumber in what could only be a fairy tale- esque overnight hair wrap, I ordered this product. When it arrived, I used it as directed (it did smell great), went to bed, and then rinsed my hair in the morning, eager to see the results.
Alas, Fairy tale hair was not to be had. Though I followed the directions to a tee, my hair was quite heavy, greasy feeling and lanky when I tried to dry and style it. It was not until the following morning, when I actually shampooed the product out of my hair, that my hair began to feel normal again. The overnight hair mask/wrap also was a disappointment. The hair wrap is essentially a double layered shower cap-- terry cloth on the outside, and plastic on the inside. It was extremely hot to sleep in, and I tossed and turned all night. As an aside, if you are expecting some fairytale romance from your Prince Charming, lets just say that you should not expect it on a night where you are wearing the hair wrap, because lets be honest-- its not a great look!
Bottom line-- Overall I was disappointed, but will try the product again and shampoo it out instead of merely rinsing, and also not try to sleep in the cap overnight. I give this product 3 stars because I did only use it one time, and will amend my review to reflect my experience after further use.

There was a waxy residue left in my hair after the first time I used this product. I gave it a second chance and tried it again. When rinsing off the masque, I shampooed my hair 3 times, even using a clarifying for one of the rinses. I was disappointed to see there was still a heavy residue in my hair. For reference, I have long, fine, hair that I could barely brush through after it was dry due to all the build up. I would give this 0 stars if I could.

Hydrated hair - dry scalp 2
rayg from Indiana
This made my hair feel really good! It was very soft and shiny. A day or two later, I noticed I had some pretty severe dandruff and my scalp was pretty itchy. I liked how my hair felt, but it's not worth the suffering of itchy scalp!
Left TONS of residue even after shampooing multiple times 1
Literal Hairstylist from Ohio
I was so excited I followed the directions exactly and when morning came I rinsed my hair as well as shampooed and conditioned and when I got out of the shower I couldn't even get a tangle teaser through my usually easy to brush hair. It left such a heavy residue I washed it again and rinsed it 3 more times (blow drying in between) with NO LUCK. I'm a hairstylist. Sitting at work. With gunky disgusting unbrushable hair. I've never left a bad review on anything in my life but I'm SO sad. I've tried EVERYTHING I OWN to get it out. Nothing has worked. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Left a weird coating on my hair...still trying to get out after 2 shampoos.
did make my hair softer but… 3
Mia from kansas city, MO
I have only used it once, the instructions say to saturate the hair, when I went to wash it out it would not rense out enough. I used to the residue cleanser of the same brand to get enough out of my hair that I could style it. After a couple days my hair did feel better, it felt softer, but it was just the initial days of feeling greasy that I didn't like. I will try it again but next time I'm going to use less and mostly put it on the ends of my hair not near my scalp. I marked that I would recommend it to a friend because I think it's a good product if you have really dry hair, you just don't need to use as much as the directions make it seem like you should.
Great overnight wash 4
Lovelylibra from Chicago,IL
This is my first time using an over night wash and I am in love! My hair feels great! My hair was feeling extremely dry and damaged and I was looking for a treatment that I could do at home myself that was simple, not to pricey and not messy. The instructions were self explanatory and I love that the cap and be reused. The cap is adjustable and it didn't slip throughout the night.
I do like this product 4
Ashley from Chicago,Illinois
I loved the smell of this product!
The texture was quite sticky I used it for 24 hours with the cap overnight only issue I had was having it in the 24 hour it would make my scalp itch :/ so I started doing the 12 hour mask & it works so much better for me! My hair feels absolutely amazing after!
I have very dense curly hair and this works wonders! It leaves it smelling so good after also!
I would buy it again for sure!
Hair definitely feels great right after 3
ispeaks from New York
I don't typically use overnight hair masks (and never heard of this one in particular) because I tend to shower at night so it would mean having to do it twice basically but I wanted to try this and I won't lie, it does make your hair super soft and manageable after. It's not as messy as you would think because it comes with a towel to wrap around your hair and keep it in place (kind of) while you sleep so it's definitely worth giving it a try - especially if you shower first thing in the morning! I will continue using it but not sure how often.
Didn't like this product at all 1
Mallory from Marissa
First I didn't have enough to completely cover my hair like i was supposed to. I'd have to buy two bottles. Company needs to offer different sizes. The. I couldn't get it out of my hair the next morning. After using up all the warm water while trying to get it out, I had to give up. It left a horrible film on my hair. Definitely not for all hair types like it claims. Have no clue how I'm going to get my hair back to normal.
Great overnight conditioning treatment 5
Sabrina D. from Grand Prairie TX
I like this product it's a little thinner than others I used. But is spreads evenly and left my hair super soft the next morning.
I did not know Unwash had this Overnight Hair Masque, but I would def but it again and recommended it to others.
Leaves behind residue 1
Tdfountaine from Anderson, CA
This product is not a good value I have really thick hair and I had to use almost the whole bottle to saturate my hair and it just made my hair feel greasy and left behind a gross feeling residue that I had to repeatedly wash my hair to get out, if I could I would give it 0 stars.
Super convenient!! 4
birdgurl123 from Chicago, IL
This product basically doesn't have a smell which I appreciate. I love how the mask does the work while you sleep. It is really convenient for people with a busy lifestyle, and people who don't want to spend a lot of time to take care of their hair. Also because the mask is left on overnight, I feel it really gives the product the best chance to really improve your hair. I also really like how it comes with a shower cap, so you don't have to worry about having one of your own. I still put a towel down on my pillow, just to make sure if the cap falls off during the night, the mask doesn't get everywhere. I don't know if it also comes in packaging with just the mask, but it would be nice if it did. That way you wouldn't have to keep repurchasing the cap as well.

Leaves My Hair Super Soft & Shiny 5
AJoe from New York, NY
I started using this mask about 2 months ago and felt an immediate difference in softness. I use it about once a month and don't think I need much more than that. Also love that it comes with a shower cap. I use the shower cap a lot.

Works Great! 5
Cristina from Keene, NH
I put this product on my hair before bed and kept it in for about 10 hours. The hair cap is awesome and I love that's its reusable. My hair is damaged and super dry from it being dyed blonde - this product softened and repaired my hair so much! My hair feels so soft and light.
Made my hair even worse 1
Chachi from Columbia, SC
My hair has felt stripped and super dry and lifeless lately so thought an overnight mask would really help it(or at least make it feel better for a day or two!). I've tried it twice now and my hair is even worse after both uses. It completely weighs my hair down and the texture is just as dry and stripped as before:( It does smell very good though and the product is very easy to apply with a great double layer cap to sleep with it on your hair. Disappointing that it made my hair so much worse though.
I love this stuff. It smells so good and has a salon look. 5
Trish from Texas
This stuff smells so good and my hair feels amazing.
