What is a hair mask?

A hair mask is a hair care treatment that is typically used to deep condition the hair and there are a variety of formulas for different hair types. These formulas can include a hair mask for dry hair such as our Fructis Hair Food Nourishing Banana Hair Mask , another for unruly hair like our Fructis Hair Food Smoothing Macadamia Hair Mask, and many more. Hair mask treatments are typically left on the hair for 20-30 minutes before being rinsed out. They are beneficial for people who are looking to hydrate their hair and have their hair feeling healthier and softer. Learn more about hair masks and how to use them.

How to apply a Garnier hair mask treatment

A hair mask, unlike a regular conditioner, which is meant to be rinsed out after a few minutes, is designed to be left on for a longer period of time. Garnier's hair masks can be used as both a mask and as a leave in. To apply the hair mask on wet hair, use your fingers or wide-tooth comb and spread the product evenly over the hair, leave for a minute, then rinse. For a leave in treatment, apply the hair mask on either wet or dry hair and do not rinse. Garnier's hair mask treatment products can however also be used as a conditioner by applying on the lengths of wet hair after shampoo and then rinsing.

Do you need a hair mask?

A hair mask is a deep conditioning treatment that is typically applied to hair that is dry, damaged, or curly. Therefore those with dry or damaged hair will likely benefit the most from this type of hair treatment mask. A hair mask treatment can help to restore moisture and nutrients to the hair, making it softer and shinier. In addition, a hair mask can also help to repair damage caused by heat styling or coloring. If you have dry, damaged, or curly hair, consider using a hair mask to achieve healthier, more manageable locks. Take our Fructis Finder quiz to find the best hair mask for you.

How often should you do a hair mask?

Hair masks are usually made with natural ingredients, such as macadamia, aloe vera or banana, and can be used weekly to help keep the hair healthy and prevent damage. It also depends on the state of your hair, therefore if your hair is feeling dry and damaged, you can use the hair mask two to three times a week. Used properly and at the frequency that your hair needs, hair mask treatments like the Fructis Hair Food Papaya Hair Mask can help keep the hair healthy and prevent damage from heat styling or color treatments.

Do you use conditioner after a hair mask treatment?

Hair masks are usually designed to deeply nourish and condition the hair. While they can be beneficial, it is not always necessary to follow up with a conditioner. However in general, it is best to use a conditioner after a hair mask if you have dry or damaged hair, this will help hydrate your hair further. If you have oily hair or your hair mask already contains moisture-rich ingredients, you may not need to use a conditioner. Garnier's multi-purpose hair mask treatment products are designed to be used as a mask that can be applied in between shampoo and conditioner, as a leave-in treatment, or as a conditioner itself.
