Hair Masks 101

In the same way a face mask works to nourish and deeply hydrate your skin, a hair mask works in the same way––boosting the overall condition and health of your hair.

 

Ever wondered how you can optimize your mane and use a professional hair mask to its full potential? Read on below to find out!

 

WHY YOU SHOULD HAIR MASK

 

Hair masks work at a deeper level than your typical hair conditioner. Conditioner makes the hair strands soft and manageable, but a hair mask will be especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or frizzy hair as they penetrate the hair shaft at a much deeper level. In fact, this is why many hair masks are also referred to as deep conditioning treatments or intensive hair conditioners.

 

Generally speaking, the benefits of using a hair mask include:

 

  • Shinier and softer hair
  • Added moisture, therefore less frizz
  • Reduced hair breakage and damage
  • A healthier scalp
  • Stronger hair
  • Protection against environmental and product damage

 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU USE YOUR HAIR MASK?

 

Those with very dry, brittle, and damaged hair could benefit from using a hydrating hair mask––such as the R+CO Television Hair Mask–– two or three times a week. Those with oily-type or very fine, straight hair may want to stick to the recommended once-a-week.

 

HOW TO HAIR MASK LIKE A PRO

 

  • Make sure to double-wash your hair with a professional shampoo before incorporating a hair mask into your hair routine. This will break down any build-up in the hair, allowing the mask to fully penetrate and focus on the areas that need the extra love. 
  • Only apply the mask from mid-strands to the ends of your hair.
  • Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to work the mask into your strands.
  • Lastly, make sure to leave the mask on for the recommended time (usually 5 to 10 minutes). This allows for the product to properly penetrate and work its magic!
