One such divine practice in the realm of hair care is the application of hair masks. Keep reading to discover how to use a hair mask according to our team of global hair experts.

 

What is a Hair Mask?

A hair mask is a deeply nourishing treatment designed to repair, restore and rejuvenate your hair beyond the superficial level, much like a spa retreat for your hair. Its powerful, rich formula, superior to the regular conditioner, is brimming with active ingredients like oils, butters, and proteins. These naturally-derived ingredients found in our collection of hair masks, penetrate the hair shaft to address various hair concerns, such as dryness, frizz, and damage. Our hair masks cater to different hair types and conditions, rich with handpicked ingredients like shea butter for hydration, keratin for strength, and Pro-Vitamin B5 for a healthy glow.

The key difference between a hair mask and a conditioner is that a hair mask is a much richer product. Our own Rossano Ferretti Parma hair masks are highly concentrated with certified organic botanicals, and as such require only a small amount to achieve the desired results. Contrary to popular belief, hair masks, certainly Rossano Ferretti Parma hair masks, can be used daily or as often as hair is washed, when applied correctly (keep reading to find out how). A hair mask is your hair’s best ally, a bespoke care routine designed to breathe life back into your tresses.

How to Apply a Hair Mask

Unlock the secrets to beautiful hair with these steps on how to use a hair mask.

Wash Your Hair: Always apply your hair mask to freshly washed, damp hair. It allows the ingredients to penetrate better into the hair shaft.

Apply the Mask: Section your hair and apply the mask thoroughly from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid applying directly on the roots; our rich formulas are deeply nourishing and once applied and distributed evenly to mid-lengths and ends, the naturally-derived ingredients will travel up the hair shaft themselves to work their magic.

Time it Right: Leave your Rossano Ferretti hair mask on just for a few minutes to notice a difference. However, if your hair is severely dry or damaged, it can be beneficial to leave it on for longer or even overnight.

Rinse and Style: Rinse out the hair mask completely and style as desired.

 

Choosing the right hair mask

Thankfully, our hair masks have been specially formulated for specific needs, according to your hair’s type and texture, making choosing the perfect hair mask an easy task:
