How to use a hair mask correctly
A mask is not added automatically — it is added based on the current condition of the lengths. It works as a separate step between shampoo and balsam.
Why squeezing out water matters
Excess water on the lengths dilutes the mask and makes even distribution harder. A gentle towel-squeeze makes application much more comfortable and precise.
Where to apply and where not to apply
A mask works with the lengths and is not needed on the scalp. The comfortable zone is roughly from mid-lengths to the ends, with more attention to the driest or most damaged areas.
One mask per wash
Two different masks at once do not make care more effective — they overlap in function and increase the risk of weighing hair down. Choose one mask based on the primary need.
BioHydra or Lipid & Ceramide
BioHydra Therapy Complex suits scenarios where hydration is the leading need, without pronounced damage. Lipid & Ceramide Therapy is chosen for pronounced dryness, porosity, lightening, fragility or damage.
Approved frequency
BioHydra: 1–2 times within 7 days, according to need. Lipid & Ceramide: once every 7–10 days. Using a mask too often can create a sense of weight.
