Experiment with a variety of hair masks to find out how much product is right for you and your hair type.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Use a hair mask

1. 

   Read the user manual carefully. Commercial hair masks come with instructions for use. Some products should be used only once a week and others need to be incubated for a certain amount of time. Not all facets are interchangeable in terms of tempering time and number of uses. So, read the directions carefully before using the hair mask. If you are not satisfied with the results after using the hair mask, you may not have followed the instructions correctly.

2. 

   
   
   Wear an old t-shirt when using the hair mask. Hair masks can cling to clothes. When using a hair mask, wear an old t-shirt, wrap your hair gown, or use old clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. The outfit is very easy to get dirty while applying the hair mask.
   • You can also put a towel over your body when applying the hair mask.
   • You can buy a gown from a hair store. This is the kind of shirt that you wear every time you cut your hair.

3. 

   
   
   Wash your hair and dry your hair with a towel. Before applying the hair mask, you will wash your hair as usual. Next, use a towel to blot the water off your hair. Do not dry your hair before applying the hair mask. Your hair should still be wet when applying the hair mask.

4. 

   Divide hair into sections. If you divide wet hair into 3 or 4 equal parts, you will be able to easily apply the mask to your hair. For example, you could split hair to the sides, and then part hair in the front and part back. Hold the hair sections with hair clips or elastic and apply the mask to each section in turn.
   • Long, thick hair should be divided into more sections. You will have to divide your hair into 4-8 sections.
   • However, if your hair is very short, you don't need to divide it into smaller sections.

5. 

   
   
   Apply the mask from hairline to hair ends. First, you will massage the mask onto oily skin. Next, apply the mask to the ends of the hair. Try to spread the mask evenly on your hair, using a gentle massage.
   • Remember to pay attention to the ends of your hair. The ends are usually prone to dryness and require careful care.

6. 

   Use a combing of the masked hair. After applying the mask to your hair, use a large or large tooth comb while combing the entire hair. This is how to make sure the mask is evenly applied to the hair.
   • This method is not applicable to all hair types. For example, if your hair is curly, you can brush it with your fingers or skip this step.

7. 

   Rinse off the hair mask and use conditioner. After incubating your hair with the mask for a certain length of time, use a shower to rinse your hair. Next, apply conditioner as usual to moisturize your hair. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: For the hair mask to maximize its effect

1. 

   Wear a shower cap and place a hot towel over your hair after applying the hair mask. First, put on a shower cap that completely covers your hair after applying the hair mask. Next, put a hot towel around the shower cap. Incubate your hair for about 10 minutes. This is how the mask makes direct contact with the scalp and maximizes its effectiveness.

2. 

   Adjust the incubation time according to the effectiveness of the hair mask. Hair incubation time will vary from product to product. If you are using commercially available hair masks, you should check the directions. However, with a homemade hair mask, the incubation time will vary depending on the effect you want to achieve.
   • With a protein mask, you should incubate your hair for about 10 minutes.
   • To achieve a moisturizing effect, you need to incubate the mask on your hair for 5-10 minutes.
   • Incubate hair with a coconut oil mask for at least 30 minutes.
   • Olaplex masks should be left on for at least 10 minutes, but are more effective if hair stays in place longer. Try to incubate your hair with an olaplex mask for 30 minutes or more.

3. 

   Use a hair mask at bedtime if your hair is very dry. If you want to fix dry hair, use a hair mask when you sleep. Simply wrap a towel over your hair, wear a shower cap or use another product to keep your hair in a mask all night. When you wake up, you will rinse off the hair mask with a shower. Your hair will be softer and less dry.

4. 

   Reduce mask amount on next use if hair is greasy. Your hair is usually not greasy after using the hair mask. If your hair feels greasy after using a hair mask, you may have used a large amount of product. Next time you should reduce the amount of product used and see if the problem is fixed.
   • If the hair mask makes your hair shiny even in small amounts, this product may not be suitable for your hair. Try a product specifically designed for oily hair.
