Hair masks are a key part of hair care routines that help moisturize, nourish, and repair your hair. However, to get the best results, it's important to use them correctly. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about applying hair masks:

How often should you use a hair mask?

The frequency of using a hair mask depends on your hair’s needs and condition. Generally, it's recommended to use a hair mask once a week or at least once every two weeks to maintain moisture, nourishment, and strength. If your hair is very dry or damaged, you can use a mask twice a week. However, be careful not to overuse masks, as too frequent application can weigh your hair down, leaving it greasy and lacking volume. Make sure to choose a mask that suits your hair type and needs.

How should a hair mask treatment be applied?

A hair mask should be applied after washing your hair with shampoo. Depending on your hair’s length and thickness, apply the appropriate amount of mask to clean, damp hair. Distribute the product evenly, using your hands or a wide-tooth comb to ensure better coverage. Leave the mask on for several minutes, or even overnight (depending on the mask type), allowing the ingredients to deeply penetrate the hair. Rinse it out thoroughly with warm water.

Can people with short hair use a hair mask?

Yes! Hair masks are beneficial for all hair lengths. Even with short hair, using a mask can strengthen the hair structure, add shine, and protect against mechanical, thermal, and chemical damage. Applying a hair mask regularly will also make styling less stressful for your hair.

Should you massage your hair after applying the mask?

A gentle massage after applying the mask can be beneficial. However, avoid excessive rubbing, as this may cause micro-damage to the hair. Wet hair is more vulnerable to damage because the cuticle is open, making it more fragile.

How to enhance the effects of a hair mask?

To improve the mask’s absorption, wrap your hair in a towel or use a shower cap. This helps trap your body heat, which enhances the action of the active ingredients.
