How do I select a hair mask for my hair?

Hair masks have the same primary purpose as your everyday conditioner—to provide moisture and boost your strands' condition. Knowing how, and how often, to utilize them is required for achieving the maximum benefits.


Generally, your hair mask should be properly used a couple of times weekly in place of your regular conditioner. The best frequency depends on the present condition and form of your tresses. If they're dry or damaged, you will likely need this deep-conditioning treatment more often. Healthy or oily hair can make do with less frequent applications. Know more about wide tooth comb.

Can I Work with a Deep Conditioner Every Day?

Typical hair masks include more potent concentrations of fatty acids and other hydrating ingredients than standard conditioners.


If a little hydration helps, it stands to reason that more should be better, especially if your hair is dry and brittle. With hair masks, this is simply not the case.

Whenever you deep condition too often, you run the chance of hyper-moisturizing your own hair and causing issues along with your scalp's natural biome.


This is because your own hair can only absorb a limited amount of your mask's extra oils and conditioners.


After reaching your hair's maximum saturation point, you might experience a condition called hygral fatigue.


Hygral fatigue is due to constant expansion and contraction of your follicles due to extreme moisture retention. You run the chance of developing hygral fatigue by deep conditioning too often, especially if you have high porosity hair.


Apparent symptoms of hygral fatigue include:


A gummy texture when wet
Dullness
Tangling
Frizziness

If your hair begins feeling limp, lifeless or mushy, reduce your own hair mask usage frequency.
