STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO GETTING HEALTHY AND NOURISHED HAIR
- Wash Your Hair Properly: This is the important thing to do before using a hair mask or conditioner. Your hair needs to be super clean and wet. Wet hair helps to soak the key ingredients of your hair mask. In case, you feel your hair is super dry even after washing your hair, then use a little conditioner before the mask. It’s the best way to get 100% benefits from using the hair mask. Remember, a hair mask works best only on wet hair.
- Remove Excessive Water: Once you wash your hair, use a hair towel to remove the excess dripping water from your hair. For better results, you mustn’t be applying the product on damp hair. Ideally, we recommend using a microfibre towel to soak or draw the water content from your hair without damaging them with friction.
- Divide Your Hair: For applying the hair mask or conditioner effectively, divide your hair into 4-5 sections especially if you have long hair. You can divide the sections using clips. The motive is to make sure that all your hair lengths get the benefit of your hair mask or conditioner.
- Apply Hair Mask: Here comes the best part. How to apply a hair mask or how to use a hair mask? The rule is to focus on the middle length first and then apply it to the ends of your hair. All you need is to take a little amount of hair mask in your palm, then gently massage the product to each section in a downward motion for at least 20-30 seconds. In such a way, you will be able to penetrate the product and seal the cuticle for smoothness, strength, and shine.
- Hot Towel Spa: You can’t ignore this step if you want to make the best use of your hair mask. Take a hot towel or any cotton t-shirt and compress your hair using the same. The compression helps your hair to get the ultimate benefit of all ingredients available in the hair mask. This activity helps ingredients to penetrate more deeply into your hair strands.
- Leave it For 10 Minutes: One should not worry to leave a mask on. You can even keep it longer than the written instructions. Ideally, it’s advised to leave a hot towel on your hair mask for at least 10 minutes. Once you do, it works like magic. Also, make sure you won’t brush your wet hair while doing this activity. Combing your wet hair means you are inviting hair breakage.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After 10 minutes, you can rinse your hair. Hair masks are mostly greasy in texture as it helps to lock the moisture in your locks. Hence, you need to rinse your hair thoroughly to remove the mask. You may need to use excessive water to rinse it properly. Once done, now the hair is ready and set to go! You will be delighted to see the results even after the first use. Hair masks act wonders when it comes to your hair.
