How does a hair mask work? 

 

Hair masks have properties that act on the scalp, with the aim of rebuilding what is known as the hair cuticle.

For the hair mask to have the desired effect, it requires between 20 to 30 minutes. of application. Always after shampoo and conditioner.

Natural masks for your hair are also cheaper, in addition to being healthier so you can have regular hair care, without mistreating your hair.

Also choose a hair mask with UV filter that will offer your hair extra care, especially if you expose your hair to the sun in the summer season.

How to apply a hair mask

If you wonder how to use hair mask, here we tell you. You must follow simple steps to apply your hair mask and have the results you want. Take note!:

• wash your hair very well. It is important that your hair is very clean, so that your hair can absorb the ingredients of the mask and take full advantage of them. Remember to also use a conditioner and do gentle massages to prepare your scalp for the product.

• Dry your hair to remove excess water. It is advisable that you apply the hair mask to damp hair and not completely dry or wet. Use an absorbent microfiber towel or, failing that, a cotton t-shirt. This will help the ingredients of the mask penetrate your head very well.

• part your hair. Use clips to separate your hair into different sections. This will help the mask to act on all areas of your head, applying the product to each of them.

• Apply your mask and massage. Generally, masks should be applied from the middle to the ends, ensuring that the product spreads throughout the hair and massaging and gently moving so that the mask completely penetrates and seals the hair cuticle.

• cover your hair. Using a towel, wrap all of your hair. Some experts recommend that the towel be a little warm to increase the effects of the mask. Let it act for the necessary time and not for longer than indicated, as you can make the product lose all its effects.

• Rinse your hair very well to remove the mask. After the hair mask has acted on your hair for the indicated time, rinse very well with plenty of water and, if possible, let your hair dry naturally, without using a dryer or iron.
