This pre-shampoo mask is the ultimate treatment to revitalize the most dehydrated and brittle hair. Designed to meet the needs of hair weakened and damaged by repeated aggressions (bleaching, highlights, relaxers, or frequent heat styling), this mask deeply hydrates and restructures for stronger, softer, and healthier-looking hair. Its rich and creamy texture glides effortlessly over the hair fiber, enveloping each strand for intense hydration.

  • As a weekly intensive treatment. Apply on dry length and ends. Comb through, leave on for 20 minutes, then shampoo and rinse thoroughly.
  • As an everyday conditioner: Apply Masque Quintessence on towel-dried length and ends. Leave on for 2-5 minutes, comb through, then rinse thoroughly.
  • For easy detangling, add a small amount of product before passing a wide-tooth comb through the hair while rinsing.
  • For best results, apply L’Huile de Leonor Greyl enriching pre-shampoo treatment oil to dry length and ends before shampooing.
  • For very dehydrated hair, spray Tonique Hydratant leave-in hydrating mist all over dry hair before applying Masque Quintessence and leave on for 20 minutes.

At the origin of this luxurious treatment in 2008, Leonor Greyl wanted to help clients struggling with dehydrated, brittle, overworked hair. They needed a deep-acting mask to counteract damage from bleaching, highlighting, straightening, and perms. Inspired by the stylists at the Leonor Greyl Institute in Paris who blended several products to offer the most hydrating treatments, R&D director David Thomas Brooks formulated Masque Quintessence – the ultimate hair mask for damaged hair. Today, this exceptional mask exemplifies the brand’s expertise in luxury haircare.

Ground shipping to USA addresses for $6.95. Orders of $75 or more qualify for free shipping.

Hair mask transforms dry, damaged, and coarse hair into soft, silky strands. Customers praise its "divine" aroma and deep moisturizing effects. Highly effective for curly, frizzy, highlighted, and bleached hair. A few found it ineffective for their hair type or felt it didn't justify the premium price. Applied to dry hair before shampooing for best results.

I’m officially a Leonor Greyl addict. This mask may be the best thing that has happened to my curly, frizzy, coarse hair. It transforms the texture beautifully, but what truly makes it addictive is the aroma—it’s divine. I honestly wish the entire world smelled like this mask :-)

I can’t believe it took me this long to discover it. A little beauty revelation. Thank you for creating something so wonderful!

And I have to say, I’m slightly heartbroken that I missed the old jar—it was absolutely fabulous from what I've seen.

I have coarse coily hair, this is a product that was made especially for my hair. I love it and will continue to use it. Sometimes I leave it over night and shampoo in the morning.

I tried using this product but unfortunately I couldn’t de tangle my hair. Looks like my hair was so hard and dry. Looks like something is wrong . Maybe isn’t for my blonde course hair type.

Hello Ellie, I’m so sorry that you had a bad experience with the Masque Quintessence. This product is actually great for all hair types and an extremely effective product when used the right way. It’s unique in how we use it! We apply it directly to our dry hair before we apply any water for shampooing. It’s a reverse protocol. And it’s even more effective if you start with L’Huile de Leonor Greyl on your length and ends, brush through and then apply the Masque Quintessence right over the top. Leave on your hair for about 10 minutes and cover your hair with a shower cap if you have one! Finally, rinse through, shampoo, and rinse again. Our conditioners and masks do not contain silicone so your hair might feel a bit dry initially. Follow up with a nourishing detangler like Lait Luminiscence or Eclat Natural, both great for course hair. If you decide it’s not for you, we would be happy to replace it with another product or give you a refund.

This mask makes my dry and damaged hair look healthier and makes it feel soft.

Wonderful! I have type 4a/b/c hair. Due to me neglecting my hair routine, my hair became extremely weak and damaged. I've only used this mask once, and my hair has already almost completely reversed to its natural state. My hair is now extremely strong, and my curl pattern has improved. I've had a positive experience with Leonor Greyl's scalp treatment as well. I look forward to trying their other products.

Although you can't go wrong with any of the products, this mask is my favorite! A little goes a long way. I apply on my scalp and comb through after applying and before shampooing. Marvelous results...my hair and I get compliments! This 70 year old is young again!!!

I am a flower gardener (and even though I wear sunscreen every day), my hair takes a beating from harsh UV rays. When I know I will be in the fields for a particularly long time, I will wash my hair with au Miel shampoo and apply the quintessence masque and let it sit on my hair while I tend the flowers.

After I rinse it out, my hair not only feels soft, but it feels restored. I love every single Leonor Greyl product I’ve tried, but for my hair, this masque is something that I never allow myself to run out of. It’s simply the best product I’ve ever used in my hair.

This mask is a luxurious treat for dry and damaged hair. It brings my hair back to life and leaves it so soft, hydrated and shiny. I like to use this once a week with Reviviscence shampoo. As a bonus, it smells divine! I receive so many compliments whenever I use it.

This is a miracle worker. The scent is floral, maybe gardenia-esk. I love it. I have long, highlighted hair and I use this about once a week. It keeps my hair from having fly-always and looking dry/damaged. I comb it through my dry hair, then clip it up and keep it on for as long as I can before I shower it out with just a small bit of Shampooing Crème Moelle De Bambou. I get compliments on my hair often.

Versatile, very hydrating/ moisturizing and nourishing conditioning treatment for your tresses. It is quite refreshing when I indulge myself with this Gold, in my haircare routine. My hair is relaxed and tamed like fine silk after my indulgement. It’s worth every penny spent. I highly recommend this. Get the feel of Heaven on Earth 🌍.🌹🌹🌹

Masque Quintessence is a life saver for my curls!! My hair is past my shoulders in length and I don't need to use much of this product in the shower. The scent is so pleasing, I sometimes will use a bit as a leave in. The softness is beyond words!!

K
Kim

A lifesaver product for me. I use a brush ( the kind stylists use for foils/color)and paint the conditioner on my dry hair. I place a cap and leave it on for as many hours as possible. My hair is so unbelievably soft it's incredible. It does not feel weighed down. My husband loves it! The smell is very LG. A bit intense at the onset and dissipates into a light fragrance.
I'm ready to deep dive into the professional size since you can also use this as a mask or instant conditioner.

I'd like to argue that this mask is easy to distribute, and works best on dry hair. If you don't want to use entire bottle in one time, wet your hair before applying the product.

This is the mask to use when your hair is constantly under attack from bleach, color and heat. I am using this with Shampoo Reviviscence for over 3 years and tried many other luxury/salon haircare brands. This mask beats everything. It's very pricey and never something I'd ever imagine spending this much money on but it made my hair so soft and silky, oddly something even the more high tech brands fail to do. It is so worth it and I wish the backbar sizes were in stock year round! One con though is that you have to use it before and after shampooing for the best result, which uses quite a lot of product. I used this when I had virgin hair and had beautiful results, and when I bleached it regularly I almost wanted to try something cheaper but my hair only agreed with this mask and this mask only! I also would like to warn you not to overuse the mask just because it is thin in texture. It is thin but not watered down, it's a very heavy moisturizing punch. I do suggest Leonor Greyl add some thickeners to really convey how nourishing this mask is and also to give users more control over how much they use. But all in all, I love this. It's a holy grail product.

This is the first of many Leonor Greyl products and why I have purchased the rest. I had a head of crispy, damaged hair. After reading the reviews, I put the product on, put on a shower cap and a towel and left the treatment on for quite awhile longer than suggested. I proceeded as suggested and was simply amazed with the results. Every bit of crispness and damage was gone! This is a pricey product, however, if you have damaged hair it is worth every penny! A must have!

My hair was diminished by color treatment and this masque revitalized it. I love how it feels and smells as does my spouse.

I don't feel like this is worth the cost. It does a good job of conditioning, but I prefer some of the other products that give me the same results. The Bambou shampoo and L'Huile de Leonor Greyl are my favorites.

I received a free sample of this mask in 2016 when purchasing Oribe products through Bergdorf Goodman. I turned around and bought the full jar within 48 hours. Since then, I've cut my hair and can get away with the travel size version. I have never stopped using this mask, it is a forever staple! I LOVE the emotional and uplifting scent, I love how lush the product is overall; and of course, I love the smooth and beautiful results - like nothing I've experienced before!!

This masque is absolutely beautiful — it smells lovely, has a wonderful consistency, is easy to distribute, and works best on dry hair. I typically leave it on for about 2 hours after an hour with the pre-shampoo oil, and it consistently yields shiny, smooth, and full hair. The travel size is a fantastic deal — unlike most products where the per oz. price is considerably higher for the travel size convenience, this one is quite comparable to the full size product. Be warned you’ll probably want the full size after one use, but it is a really nice introduction and portable version of a true classic.*reviewed travel-size product

I recently bought this and used it for the first time and absolutely loved it! First of all, just the packaging made me feel like royalty. After rinsing it out and drying my hair I was shocked! I have never had a product repair my hair this much in one use. This made my hair feel and look better than an expensive conditioning treatment in a salon. It is pricy but I can justify it now since I will no longer need to add on a deep conditioning treatment to my salon bill! #Sohappy!
