HAIR MASK 101

hair masks have come a long way I think we've all used one that didn't really do anything with the right information on application techniques and the types of masks you can figure out exactly how to improve your hair Health using a mask if you enjoy watching this video about hair masks and how to use them please give it a thumbs up I definitely recommend that you use a mask period but there's a few things to make it effective because you can use a mask and it doesn't really work so let's fix that the best hair mask out there is the one that you can use consistently again and again and that means it's the one that you can purchase again and again like afford to if it feels like it's expensive or you feel like oh like I'm not sure I don't think it's a good idea you'd be better off with like the $5 mask versus the $50 mask that you have to take like 30 years to research and then you just like want to hold on to it and not use it because it's like fancy like that's not what hair masks are for they're nutrition for your hair and everybody can use them even if you have have an oily scalp and really dry ends especially cuz they don't actually get applied to the scalp if you do it correctly let's go over the types of masks and treatments that are out there since there are a lot and hair technology has come a really long way we have the traditional mask which is what I'm kind of talking about mainly today because I think that this type of hair nutrition is so underused the difference between this and a conditioner is a hair mask is very thick it has a lot less water and to use this correctly you want to shampoo your hair lather it up rinse it all out and then use your mask on damp hair you wouldn't want to apply a mask and then go in and use shampoo you have to rinse after shampoo and then apply it because the shampoo is like detergent so it can really strip away even if it just runs by the length of your hair a lot of the oils and hydration that's supposed to be there so that's the first type of mask but we're going to look at the types of treatment SL masks and there are three in this video this next one is really interesting and could be really helpful a bond repair product like Olex has a patent on this technology and it is proven to go into the hair shaft inside and repair broken bonds this has a different order of use you actually use this before shampoo on damp hair Bond repair is serious business and it actually has its own order it goes on damp hair before shampoo and you could technically add a mask after now that product is quite expensive but hair glosses are the Third type of treatment that I consider to be like a mask and they are usually quite inexpensive these treat the outer layer of the hair whether you're using a Lamar water or a gloss that's more of like a gel and a thick type of cream treatment looks a lot like a mask but these glossing products act on the outside of the hair it's like a top coat you shouldn't rely on it to make your hair healthier however it's very protective and it has the most gorgeous result on hair if you've never used a gloss and then you go to try one you will fall in love with the results recently I colored my hair and made it all light and bright and of course it goes beige and then you know it goes orange especially when you're due for a toner at the salon this is where a gloss is amazing with this kind of mask it's tinted and so with this kind of gloss you're getting a sealing top coat to your hair but you're also getting that tint of color in fact this type of gloss from in fact this particular gloss from L'Oreal is actually sold in the hair color section so a lot of people don't know that this exists and it's not a dieye but it definitely improves the look of your hair and it's very easy to use you use your shampoo rinse it out and then if it's the Lamela water one like this you just rinse it onto your hair and then wait 8 seconds and rinse it out it's amazing this will give you that like very commercial line of light in your hair the gloss is for the aesthetic the mask is for the nutrition and bond repair is for Bond repair all three have their place you know and I think it's important to consider using a mask more free frequently and not looking for something that's really expensive like I said because using those hair masks consistently is your best defense against the aggressions of like everyday life and when your hair has that extra elastic from The Mask it can really withstand and not break when it's put in a ponytail or it rubs against your coat or just the weather is cold or dry I always detangle my hair if I remember before I apply a mask because it makes it easier to apply it even once my hair is wet it just is better if it's not all knotted up the biggest mistake with a hair mask is like using it on dry hair because it can't go into the hair that way I can think of like two situ uations where the protection of a hair mask could be utilitarian to like dry hair but if you actually want to get the benefits of the ingredients you have to use it properly so to do that you rinse the hair after you shampoo and then I got out of the shower and took all the excess water out of my hair by squeezing it out and I'm going to do the mask without being in the shower because I can really focus on what I'm doing this way it's going to take a few dips into this jar starting with about 7 in dep down from the root I'm going to do my best to spread the mask knowing that it has a tendency since it's so thick to Clump up in one area I'll start trying to tube it down the hair but one of the best things you can do is after trying this for a while open the hair back up and see what parts don't have any mask dip back into the jar and then add some more and you'll see as you start to massage this in and through the hair it actually starts to disappear a little bit goes from being like right white and looking like moisturizer or like face lotion to being kind of just not there just wet looking I really squeeze this in through the ends of course the ends need the most coverage since when you really think about it your hair grows like six Ines a year so the ends of my hair must be like like I don't know 6 12 15 15 years old or something I don't know I don't know about that math but the point is the ends need a lot of help otherwise they will look very aged since they are old hair treatments and at least in this tutorial are usually kept in for like 8 or 10 minutes and then they get rinsed out so rinse yours out based on the instructions and then reveal and protect your results and don't forget to do it again because this is what helps care for your hair regularly comment below what your favorite
