HAIR MASK HOW TO
and what you may be doing wrong
If you have ever treated yourself to a hair mask treatment at the salon [or at home] -congratulations!
This once looked at service as a splurge or indulgent is actually your ticket into better/ healthier hair and needs to be apart of your weekly routine! Did you know that your hair health is determined before it grows out? Literally before you see those healthy and sometimes pesky sprouts of hair underneath the surface are billions of proteins and molecules working to build those strands. If you aren't feeding your scalp the vitamins it needs your hair will grow out a bit weaker, more brittle and prone to a dull dry result.
Not only will your hair mask rejuvenate your ends by adding moisture, heal damaged and brittle ends it will bring back vitality, bounce and shine but it will also be the best face mask .... for your scalp!
Your scalp ages 6x faster than your face and 12x faster than the skin on your body. Though you may not always see the aging process it's happening. More people are finding seasonal hair loss, postpartum hair differences, scalp issues like itchy, flaking dandruff and the over-all luster declining (due to scalp aging or irritants) this Instant Repair Hair Mask will help fight those battles for you.
With over 14,000 reviews on this mask, we know you'll love it too!

WHAT IS A HAIR MASK?
A hair mask is a dense cream concentration of hydration, repair and moisturizing ingredients that can be scooped rather than your traditional pump conditioner. That thicker concentration allows this to sit on your hair for longer periods of time depositing über rich ingredients everywhere it sits.
Prior to starting your step-by-steps into your transformed hair you will want to make sure that you have a few key items ready to use in the shower like shampoo, the perfect hair mask and a wide tooth comb (optional) to get the magical results you are looking for. We recommend Shampoo+ CBD for a thorough cleanse without stripping out all of your hair's natural oils and our Instant Repair Hair Mask + CBD.
HOW TO APPLY A HAIR MASK
FOR DRY, DULL, DEHYDRATED HAIR
- Thoroughly shampoo your scalp and hair and rinse well
- Ensure all of the shampoo is rinsed from your hair then step away from the shower head to avoid direct water contact with the top of your head
- Ring out excess water from the mid-strands and length of your hair to avoid any dilution caused by too much water on the surface of your hair
- Keeping your head away from direct water contact, separate your hair into 2-4 sections. The goal is to not forget the back area of your hair that could be harder to reach
- Now scoop a generous amount of Instant Repair Hair Mask + CBD and apply mid-strand through your ends starting from the back sections moving towards the front sections. Reach for more hair mask if you need
- Once your mask has been applied use your wide tooth comb, or fingers to glide the product everywhere you may have missed to ensure even distribution of the product
- Keep your head out of direct contact with the water and set your timer, wash your body or sing for the next 3-5 minutes
- When the time is up rinse thoroughly with luke-warm to cooler temperature water to help the cuticle to close
HOW TO APPLY A HAIR MASK
FOR SPLIT ENDS, BREAKAGE, FRIZZY & UNRULY HAIR
- You may prep your hair BEFORE your shower. Applying a hair mask on dry hair will allow extra time and penetration into thirsty locks which will be the key to fabulous end results! If you have serious frizz or damage try our Re-Up & Rescue duo that will be extra strength and double repair intensity!
- On dry hair separate your hair into four sections: front left, front right, back left, back right
- Starting in one back section scoop a generous amount of your hair mask and apply mid strands all the way through your ends. Repeat in each section until you have completed all four.
* If you are using our Oil + Mask combo follow the same directions above but apply oil first, followed by a layer of the hair mask. - Once your mask has been applied use your wide tooth comb, or fingers to glide the product everywhere you may have missed to ensure even distribution of the product
- You may leave this on for at least five- ten minutes before going into the shower. If you leave it on longer that is ok too. So take your time and start dinner or text you know who ... nothing bad will happen!
- Once you start the shower you will want the water to be lukewarm - cool while you rinse your mask
*now you may ask yourself why the redundancy if you need to shampoo your hair? This is done because of the porosity of your hair. Your hair will deposit more essential nutrients that your hair was extremely thirsty for and lacking when its dry. If you applied your mask after water soaked it, the water would fill up your hair's cuticle. In this stage of damage and unruly/ frizzy your cuticle is exposed more so than other hair types. The good news is we are fixing that problem! - Option 1 for damage control: You may finish by shampooing your hair followed by your daily conditioner like Condition + CBD
- Option 2 for extreme damage fixing: You may finish by shampooing your hair followed by your hair mask in leu of a daily conditioner
HOW TO APPLY A HAIR MASK
FOR SCALP ISSUES, DRY, ITCHY, DANDRUFF + DRY ENDS
- Thoroughly shampoo your scalp and hair with a sensitive and cleansing shampoo like our Shampoo + CBD and rinse well
- Repeat the first step
- Ensure all of the shampoo is rinsed from your hair then step away from the shower head to avoid direct water contact with the top of your head
- Ring out excess water from the mid-strands and length of your hair to avoid any dilution caused by too much water on the surface of your hair
- Keeping your head away from direct water contact, separate your hair into 2-4 sections. The goal is to not forget the back area of your hair that could be harder to reach
Those with shorter hair lengths you may choose to apply everywhere at once - Now scoop a generous amount of Instant Repair Hair Mask + CBD and apply focusing directly on your scalp and massage to activate blood circulation to awaken the hair follicle
- Now move additional hair mask product through your mid-strands and your ends starting from the back sections moving towards the front sections. Reach for more hair mask if you need
- Once your mask has been applied use your wide tooth comb, or fingers to glide the product everywhere you may have missed to ensure even distribution of the product
- Keep your head out of direct contact with the water and set your timer, wash your body or sing for the next 3-5 minutes
- When the time is up rinse thoroughly with cool temperature water to help the cuticle to close
TIPS TO GET THE BEST END RESULT
It takes your skin about 26 SECONDS to absorb what you put on it. Your skin should absorb about 60% of what you apply. However your scalp absorbs 4X GREATER that amount! So be sure to apply your hair mask, wash the rest of what you need to, or put on your favorite jams to help the time pass.
Our hair is porous, like a sponge and will soak up anything it comes in contact with, including water. Water will naturally dilute hair treatments and masks. To get the most reparative and hydrating benefits from your hair mask you
When you eliminate higher concentrations of H2O your hair is able to absorb all the benefits of your hair mask vs. a watered down version of your higher priced products.
