Hair masks can do wonders and are an important part of your haircare routine, especially during the colder, dryer winter months.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Like with most things, it is important to know how to use your hair mask correctly in order to get the most out of it. Try this five-step hair mask guide to get you started:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash: <\/b>Cleanse your hair with a shampoo suited to your hair type and concerns. Use a complementary shampoo from your mask’s product range for best results.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Wring:<\/b> After washing, wring out excess water by gently twisting your wet hair or blotting it with a cotton T-shirt or microfiber towel.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Apply: <\/b>Apply your mask downward from the mid-shaft to the ends, avoiding the roots. Start with a dime-size amount and adjust based on your hair\u2019s texture and length. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to ensure even distribution.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Relax: <\/b>Leave the mask on for 5 to 10 minutes or as the product label recommends. For a spa-like experience, wrap a warm towel around your head to help the mask sink in.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Rinse:<\/b> Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water. Hot water can dry out your hair, while cool water helps seal the hair cuticle, locking in shine and moisture.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
