[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Adding a hair mask to your routine is a fantastic way to add nourishment, soften and improve the condition of the hair. Our hair\u00a0 is the first thing everyone notices when they see us, we all want it to be healthy and shiny and we want those dreaded bad-hair days to be non-existent. As the weather changes, humidity, hard water areas and many other factors will eventually have an effect on the condition of our hair and we may need a treatment as a helping hand to bring it back to its glory.<\/p>\n

In this blog post we are going to show you how to do that by creating and using a rich conditioning hair mask which is full of gorgeous butters, nourishing oils and some fabulous botanical extracts. This hair mask is perfect for dry and damaged hair in need of extra care as well.<\/p>\n

What is a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask?<\/h2>\n

It is an anhydrous (it has no water) product which is soft and easy to spread on the hair. It normally contains waxes, butters and oils so it is for you if you want to avoid using preservatives. It also has some cationic surfactants which will not make your product foam but instead it will help your hair become more manageable. Cationic surfactants have positive charge which means that they are attracted to the surface of the hair strand which has negative charge. By doing so they neutralise that negative charge, create a film on the hair, smoothing down the cuticle. This is why they are mainly used in conditioning products, such as your regular hair conditioner, fabric conditioner but can also be found in cleansing products.<\/p>\n

The conditioning hair mask in this post is a soft whipped mousse with a velvety feel and a woody-citrusy scent.<\/p>\n

How to apply<\/h3>\n

This is a pre-shampoo product. Apply the mask liberally on dry hair, you can use it only on the hair or you can also apply it on the scalp. We recommend that you wrap your hair in a warm towel and use a hairdryer with a gentle heat to warm up the hair. If you live in a sunny place, try sitting in the sun with a good book. The heat encourages the cuticles to open therefore speeding up the absorption of the product. Leave the mask for 10-30 mins or even overnight. The time of treatment will depend on your hair, this varies for everyone. Wash your hair as usual.<\/p>\nLearn how to make a fantastic Babassu Deep Conditioning Hair Mask with @Formulabotanica #haircare #naturalformulation #naturalingredients <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n
