Keratine

How to apply keratin mask properly?

To apply a keratin hair mask properly, start by washing your hair with shampoo and rinsing thoroughly. Gently towel-dry your hair so it remains damp but not soaking wet.

Apply a generous amount of keratin mask from mid-length to the ends of your hair. Avoid applying directly to the scalp unless the product instructions allow it.

Leave the mask on for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the level of damage and product instructions. For deeper repair, wrap your hair in a warm towel during application to help the keratin penetrate better. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Can you leave keratin overnight?

Yes, you can leave a keratin hair mask overnight, but only if the formula is designed for extended use.

Some intensive repair masks allow longer processing times. However, leaving strong protein-based formulas overnight may cause stiffness or protein overload.

If you are unsure, start by leaving the mask on for 20 to 30 minutes before trying overnight treatment. Always follow the product’s instructions for best and safest results.

How often should you use keratin?

For most hair types, keratin hair masks should be used once or twice per week.

• 1–2 times per week for dry or damaged hair
• Once per week for normal hair
• Every 10–14 days for fine or protein-sensitive hair

Using keratin too frequently may lead to protein overload, making hair feel stiff instead of soft and smooth. For balanced results, combine keratin treatments with hydrating products.
