Whether it's the heat from styling your hair, harsh environmental factors, or simply the natural aging process, our locks can definitely use a little or a lot of TLC. One way to revive and repair damaged hair is by using a hair masque treatment. But what exactly is a hair masque treatment and how can it benefit your hair? In this post you’ll learn the benefits, how frequently you should use it, and how to apply it. Let’s get your hair looking shiny again!
What Is A Hair Masque Treatment?
A hair masque is a deep conditioning treatment that penetrates deep into the hair shaft and is designed to nourish and rejuvenate and restore your hair's natural health and radiance. Unlike your regular conditioner, hair masques are designed to cater to specific hair concerns like damage, frizz, dryness, or lack of moisture. Hair repair masques are typically formulated with ingredients as beneficial vitamins and oils that work together to strengthen the hair, improve elasticity, and add shine. They are especially catering for those with dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair.
How Often Should You Use A Hair Repair Masque?
Hair repair masques are designed to nourish and repair damaged hair, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and rejuvenated. When it comes to how often you should use a hair repair masque, it depends on your hair type and condition. For those with dry or damaged hair, using a masque once or twice a week can help restore moisture and improve elasticity. If you have normal or oily hair, using a masque once every 1-2 weeks may be sufficient to maintain healthy-looking locks without weighing them down. It's important not to overuse a hair repair masque as this can lead to product buildup and potentially cause more harm than good. Always follow the instructions on the packaging for recommended usage frequency. (is all of this accurate)
Should You Put A Hair Masque On Wet Or Dry Hair?
Using a hair masque on wet hair
When your hair is wet, the cuticles are slightly lifted which allows for better penetration of the masquse’s ingredients. This means that your strands can absorb more moisture and nutrients, leading to improved hydration and overall health. Also, when you apply a masque on wet hair, it can help detangle knots easier since the product can distribute more evenly throughout your hair strands.
Do You Use A Hair Masque Before Or After Shampooing?
Before shampooing
Using a hair masque before shampooing can help prepare your hair for cleansing by providing added moisture and protection. For those with dry or damaged hair, the masque can help prevent further stripping of natural oils during the washing process.
After shampooing
Using a hair masque after shampooing can help seal in moisture and nutrients from your conditioner, leaving your hair feeling softer and more manageable. This method is especially effective for those with fine or oily hair because it prevents weighing down the hair with too much product.
