Common Questions
Why do some hair masks have to be washed out with cold water only?
This is because some ingredients in hair masks react with hot water and may cause them to become gunky or thick. When you’re trying to replenish your hair, that’s the last thing that you want.
What frequency should I use a hair mask?
Once per week is plenty when you’re using a hair mask. If you start to use them too much, you then run the risk of your hair becoming too oily.
