How to use it
- After shampooing and rinsing, work a small amount through the middle to the ends.
- Leave it on for 5 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- For a more intense treatment, cover with a plastic shower cap and leave on for up to an hour before rinsing.
Once a week.
The routine builder puts the mask in place of your rinse-out conditioner, and tells you when a mask’s maker puts conditioner on first. Follow the mask’s directions. Understand conditioner and mask order .
