Use on towel-dried hair right after shampooing
A hair mask is an intensive care step used immediately after cleansing your scalp and hair with shampoo. It contains a richer concentration of nourishing ingredients than conditioner, making it especially effective when used 2–3 times a week on hair damaged by perming or coloring. Think of it as a special treatment for days when your hair needs extra care, rather than an everyday rinse replacement.
Best used during your evening shower for intensive care
Hair that's been stressed throughout the day by heat styling or UV exposure benefits most from evening care. Using the mask during your evening shower, when you have more time, allows the nutrients to fully absorb. If your hair is particularly damaged, you can increase usage to up to 3 times a week.
Apply from mid-lengths to ends with a massaging motion
After shampooing, gently squeeze out excess water, then take an appropriate amount and work it evenly through your hair from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid direct contact with the scalp, and pay extra attention to the ends if they're especially damaged. For a quick treatment, you can rinse immediately, but leaving it on for 1–3 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water will help the softness last longer.
Routine combinations based on damage level
- Severely damaged hair after perming or coloring: Cleanse with UNOVE Deep Damage Repair Shampoo, follow with this mask for intensive care, and finish with Silk Hair Oil for a protective seal
- Frequently heat-styled hair: After using the hair mask, layer on Heating Guard No-Wash Treatment to boost protein bonding
- Lightly damaged hair: 1–2 times a week is sufficient; on other days, finish with a lightweight conditioner
Important usage notes
Avoid applying directly to the scalp, as it may clog pores. Focus on the hair itself. Insufficient rinsing can leave a greasy residue, so be sure to rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. After opening, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and discontinue use if you experience any scalp irritation.
