If you're not already using a hair mask, you’re in for a treat — it can truly do wonders for your tresses. To help you fully reap its hair-transforming benefits, here’s a fool-proof guide to applying a hair mask.

1. Shampoo your hair

   First things first, you want to start with clean, damp hair. This will help your mask to penetrate the hair more effectively for maximum nourishment. After washing, gently towel-dry your hair so it's not soaking wet, but still damp.

2. Grab your hair mask of choice

   Scoop out a generous amount of your hair mask and apply it evenly to your hair, starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots. Don't be afraid to really saturate the hair.

3. Distribute evenly

   Once you've applied the mask, make sure that it's evenly distributed throughout your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle any knots and ensure that every strand of hair is fully coated with the mask.

4. Leave the mask on

   Now, let the mask work its magic. Leave it on for at least 5 to 10 minutes, but always double check the instructions on your hair mask packaging to see what’s the required waiting time.

5. Rinse thoroughly

   After the allotted time has passed, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water. Make sure to remove all traces of the mask, as leaving any residue can cause product build-up, weigh your hair down and leave it looking greasy.
