How to Apply a Hair Mask: 4 Steps for Healthy Hair Fiber
Lately, you find your hair a bit dull, tangled, and brittle. So it’s high time to give it a boost of vitality. However, you’ve already tried many treatments without really achieving your goals. What if our tips & tutorial format helped you understand how to apply a hair mask perfectly? Interested? Let’s go!
Step 1: Choose the mask suited to your needs
Before finding the best technique to apply your hair mask, consider your hair type and what it needs most today to stay beautiful and healthy.
First of all, there are 4 hair types: straight, wavy, curly, and coily, and 4 different hair conditions. We talk about normal, dry, oily, or combination hair. Note that various factors such as weather, age, hormones, diet, or health status affect the health and therefore the appearance of the hair fiber.
Each hair type naturally has specific needs that can be increased by certain treatments or by the absence of treatment. Nutrition, hydration, repair, protection, rebalancing…
Here, advice from your professional hairdresser can be invaluable. In addition, knowing how to apply a hair mask is a real asset.
Step 2: Prepare Your Hair to Absorb the Benefits of the Mask
The key point to remember: the mask always comes after shampoo. Ideally, start by washing your hair with a suitable cleansing care, such as Corine de Farme shampoos enriched with shea butter, sweet almond oil, argan oil, or jicama. For a perfect cleanse, do a double shampoo and rinse thoroughly with clear, cool water.
When it comes to wringing out your hair, be careful not to twist it too much to avoid weakening it. Instead, use a soft towel to remove excess water by simply pressing your hair between your fingers. For the mask to penetrate well, your hair should remain damp.
All that’s left is to detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb. If needed, and for easier detangling, apply a detangling conditioner to the lengths and ends and leave it on for a few minutes.
Now it’s finally time to apply your mask. Separate your hair into several sections to make application easier. Then cover each strand—avoiding the roots—with the 3-in-1 mask and again, leave it on for about 5 minutes.
How to Apply Your Hair Mask and Maximize Its Effects
For best results, Sacrées Natures Corine de Farme recommends not using too much product, as it could weigh down and grease the hair fiber. An even application is also the best way to treat and enhance your entire hair, including often forgotten areas like the nape of the neck.
Also, take advantage of this care moment for a scalp massage, which is highly beneficial for relaxation and blood circulation. In fact, stimulating microcirculation helps boost hair growth and health.
Finally, once the mask for damaged hair is applied and distributed, use a heating cap or plastic wrap to activate its effects. This tip is essential, especially if your hair is very damaged.
Note: you can also do a pre-mask before your shampoo. This technique helps purify the scalp and prepare it to receive the benefits of the mask after shampooing.
Rinse and Enhance Your Hair: Corine de Farme’s Tips for a Perfect Result
Applying your mask properly also means rinsing it well to remove all residues and excess from your hair, which could otherwise create a greasy film you definitely want to avoid. To do this, in the shower, use clear water and, if possible, cool water to help tighten the cuticles and make your hair even shinier. Beauty tip: add a little vinegar to your rinse water to neutralize limescale and, once again, boost shine.
By the way, for the health of your hair and scalp, did you know that the 3-in-1 mask that nourishes, repairs, and detangles Corine de Farme hair is formulated with 98% ingredients of natural origin? You’ll also be pleased to know that it contains no silicones or controversial ingredients, for a soft and completely natural feel.
