How to Apply a Hair Mask for Healthy, Hydrated Hair
A hair mask is a must-have for deep hydration, nourishment, and protection. Whether your hair is dry, frizzy, or just needs a boost, the right application ensures maximum benefits. Follow these simple steps for salon-worthy results at home.
Step 1: Choose the Right Hair Mask
Pick a mask suited to your hair type:
-
Dry or damaged hair – Look for argan oil, shea butter, or coconut oil.
-
Oily hair – Go for lightweight masks with clay or tea tree oil.
-
Colored hair – Opt for masks with keratin or UV filters for color protection.
Step 2: Wash Your Hair First
Clean hair absorbs a mask better. Shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup, then gently towel-dry until damp but not dripping.
Step 3: Apply the Hair Mask
-
Spread a generous amount evenly through your hair.
-
Focus on mid-lengths and ends, avoiding roots unless the mask is for the scalp.
-
Use a wide-tooth comb (available from Styledry) to distribute the mask evenly and detangle hair without breakage.
Step 4: Let It Sit
Leave the mask on for the recommended time (5-30 minutes). For a deeper treatment, wrap your hair in a warm towel or shower cap.
Step 5: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse well with lukewarm water to remove all residue.
Step 6: Style as Usual
Pat hair dry with a towel (don’t rub) and follow your styling routine. Use a mask once or twice a week for best results.
