INGREDIENTS 

Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Extract, Bytospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Hydrolysed Keratin, Caffeine, Biotin,  Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Oil, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Methylisothiazolinone, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate

Step-by-Step: How to Use the Mask

1. Start with clean hair.
   
• Shampoo your hair first to remove oil, dirt, and buildup.
• Gently towel-dry so your hair is damp (not dripping wet).
2. Apply the mask evenly.
   
• Scoop a small amount and apply from mid-lengths to ends.
• If your scalp is dry or you’re targeting growth (because it contains caffeine, biotin, and aloe), you can apply a small amount to the scalp and gently massage.
3. Comb through.
   
• Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to distribute the product evenly.
4. Leave it on.
   
• 5–10 minutes for regular use.
• 15–20 minutes for deep conditioning or very dry/damaged hair.
• For extra effect, cover your hair with a shower cap or warm towel while waiting.
5. Rinse thoroughly.
   
• Use cool or lukewarm water (not hot) to seal the cuticle and enhance shine.
• Make sure no residue remains—especially near the scalp.
6. Style as usual.
   
• You can follow with a light leave-in conditioner or serum if needed

Tips

• Frequency: Use 1–2 times per week.
• Hair type suitability:
  
• The mix of shea butter, castor oil, and grape seed oil makes it ideal for dry, damaged, or curly hair.
• The biotin, caffeine, and keratin help strengthen and promote growth, good for thinning or brittle hair.

🌿 

1. Natural Hair (Curly or Coily)

Goal: Moisture, strength, and definition

How to use:

• Frequency: 1–2 times per week
• Application: Apply from roots to ends, focusing on dry areas and ends. Massage gently into the scalp (the caffeine and biotin support growth).
• Leave on: 20–30 minutes, preferably with a plastic cap and heat (e.g., warm towel or hooded dryer).
• Rinse: Use cool water to lock in moisture.
  Tip: Follow with a light leave-in or oil to seal in hydration.

2. Relaxed or Chemically Straightened Hair

Goal: Strengthen and restore elasticity

How to use:

• Frequency: Once a week (every 5–7 days)
• Application: Apply mainly from mid-length to ends — avoid heavy application on the scalp if it gets oily.
• Leave on: 10–15 minutes (20 minutes if hair feels weak or breaking).
• Rinse: Thoroughly with lukewarm water to prevent buildup.
  Tip: Alternate this mask with a lighter moisturizing conditioner to balance protein and moisture.

3. Color-Treated or Bleached Hair

Goal: Repair damage and retain color vibrancy

How to use:

• Frequency: Once a week, or twice if hair feels very dry.
• Application: Focus on damaged and porous areas (ends and lightened sections).
• Leave on: 15–20 minutes under a shower cap.
• Rinse: Use cool water to help seal color and add shine.
  Tip: Avoid hot water — it opens the cuticle and fades color faster.

💧 

4. Dry or Brittle Hair (Any Type)

Goal: Deep hydration and softness

How to use:

• Frequency: 2–3 times a week until moisture improves, then reduce to once weekly.
• Application: Generously from roots to ends, massaging into the scalp.
• Leave on: 20–30 minutes with a plastic cap or warm towel.
• Rinse: Cool or lukewarm water.
  Tip: Follow with a few drops of a sealing oil (like argan or grape seed oil) to lock in moisture.

5. Oily or Fine Hair

Goal: Nourish without weighing down

How to use:

• Frequency: Once every 10–14 days.
• Application: Focus only on mid-lengths to ends. Avoid applying directly to the scalp.
• Leave on: 5–10 minutes maximum.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
  Tip: You can mix a small amount of the mask with your regular conditioner to lighten it up.

6. Damaged or Breaking Hair

Goal: Rebuild strength and prevent shedding

How to use:

• Frequency: 1–2 times weekly
• Application: Apply from root to tip, massaging gently into scalp.
• Leave on: 15–25 minutes with gentle heat (the keratin, caffeine, and biotin strengthen follicles).
• Rinse: Thoroughly, then follow with a leave-in conditioner or light oil.
  Tip: Avoid overusing — too much protein (from keratin) can make hair stiff. Alternate with a purely moisturizing mask.
