Hair Mask

Hair mask may be referred to as deep conditioning treatments or intensive hair conditioners.

What makes them different to instant conditioners is that the ingredients are usually more concentrated, and they are left on your hair for longer — anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours.

Just as a face mask works to nourish and hydrate your skin, a hair mask works in a similar way to boost the condition and health of your hair.

How to use the mask:

You can apply it with your fingers, or you can use a small paintbrush to dab the hair mask mixture onto your hair.
If your hair is dry, begin applying near your scalp and work toward the ends. Once it has been worked into the ends of your hair, you can go back and gently apply to your scalp.
If you’re specifically applying the mask to treat dandruff, you’ll want to start at your scalp.
If your hair is oily, begin applying at mid-shaft and work toward the ends.
Once you’re done applying, run a wide-tooth comb through your hair to help ensure it is evenly spread.
Leave the mask on for at least 20 to 30 minutes. Depending on the ingredients, some masks can be left on for hours or even overnight.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water. Avoid hot water. Cooler water can help seal the hair cuticle and help your hair retain more moisture.
