FAQs
What is a hair mask?
A hair mask is a deep conditioning treatment that helps hydrate, strengthen, and repair hair. It’s used to address various concerns, including frizz, dryness, or breakage. Similar to a face mask, it’s applied to the hair for a specified amount of time before being rinsed out.
How often should I use a hair mask?
How often you should use a hair mask depends on your hair type and the specific needs of your hair. Generally, it’s recommended to use a hair mask once a week as part of your regular hair routine. If your hair appears weighed down after using a hair mask, you may be using it too frequently.
How do I apply a hair mask?

Gently massage the mask into your hair, leave it on for the recommended time, and then rinse thoroughly with water. For targeted hydration, try our hair mask for dry hair.
