Sharing a lifehack: I usually apply the mask to the very ends first, then to the mid sections and so on. This way I make sure my ends get the most of the product.
2 Things 🤩 1. You can assume replacing your conditioner with a mask 1/2 of the time will help with the health of your hair. If you would like to make your whole hair texture smoother* (if it's coarse* and no this won't be as effective as a chemical smoothing treatment) I recommend using mask's each time you wash! Personally, I rarely use conditioner only - unless I'm in a real rush! 2. A mask acts like a more professional-version of a conditioner - meaning, you don't' *need* to use a conditioner after the mask. I suggest a leave in conditioner/blow-dry cream after washing if you use a blow dryer (+ heat protection). Note: On several occasions, I have used a mask, rinsed it out, and applied a conditioner overtop then rinsed it out. If you have coarse hair, like me, you might love doing this! It's a little extra but it works to add as much elasticity as possible to your dry hair
I used 'Philip Kingsley Elastisizer' ONCE and my hair dresser said that my hair was looking SO healthy and to KEEP DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE DOING. I felt like a kid getting a sticker & good job well done from the dentist 🤣
I got this mask too because a hair influencer recommended it (but sadly haven’t used it as much as I should), this video (and the comment from your hair stylist!) definitely made me want to get consistent with hair masking. I always want to earn my hair stylist approval, lol
@@bellaluka1735 WHOA! That’s high praise! What’s your process to apply it? After shampooing on damp hair or do you apply to dry hair and leave for a few hours?
I have oily and wavy hair, I use Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Oil mask every week and it makes a crazy difference in my hair. It's so much shinier and healthier ever since I started being consistent with it!
My advice, as a girl with curly and, finally, healthy hair, would be - be careful with shampoo ingredients, switch between protein and moisturizing masks every wash, use natural DIY masks for scalp since it can get dry, use beer or gel if needed for definition, and some nourishing leave-in after as a protection from outside factors
@@Kiara_Wrestler There are tons of curly girls on RU-vid, & most of them are great, but my favorite is StacyCurlyCourtney - you might want to look her up to learn all about making curly hair healthy!
My favorite hair mask is “Twist strengthen the bond”. I saw it on Manes by mell’s video where she explained the science behind the product and how it works. Another favorite is Shea moisture Manuka honey moisture mask, also discovered it thanks to Mel.
I have long, thick blonde hair. I love Tresemme mask, Redken anti snap, Phillip Kingsley elasticizer and Olaplex 3 (now I know the difference, thank you!) all amazing and I like to rotate them all to mix it up a bit! I love the advice of not buying expensive items and then being too afraid to use them. 🙏
my favourite mask is just an argon oil mask, i first got it for £1 but the price ranges to £3 and it’s SO thick and does wonders for my hair. it’s a brown tub and green lid, i highly recommend for anyone with long frizzy/ wavy hair!!
I have curly hair and I switch masks depending on if my hair needs moisture or protein. There are moisturizing masks and protein masks and you need to be able to tell which you need to help keep your hair balanced and healthy. Olaplex is for repairing the damaged bonds if you’ve over processed your hair and damaged it. Just an fyi. ❤
GIRLLL I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF YOU & YOUR VIDEOS LATELY & I DECIDED TO BINGE A COUPLE OF YOUR OLD VIDEOS ONLY TO FIND THAT YOU JUST UPLOADED A NEW VIDEO AAAAAAA
Alexandra, this video inspired me more than you know. Immediately after watching, I spent the whole evening using bonding, masks, and proper washing and styling techniques like you suggested and honestly, I've never felt better about my hair, and in turn, myself. I even got compliments during my work meetings today! Your explanations and tips are always so effortless and helpful! Thank you for reigniting a spark I had lost. You're truly the greatest treasure!
Love this video !!! K18 is my go to for hair repair, since 2020! It's a miracle!!! For hydration its Olaplex #8 deep conditioning treatment and for a gloss, its been "wow dream coat" !! 🙏💚 Blessings and love from Panama 🇵🇦!!
Late to the party, but here are two things I (personally) find that gets the most out of a hair mask: 🌸 Once applied, comb through your hair. It makes sure the mask goes everywhere and spreads excess to the parts you missed/have less. 🌸 Once applied, use a shower cap. I use those disposable ones like you find at hotels. Someone once told me heat helps a mask function better, and I've been doing the shower cap thing ever since. ( More than 20 years now.)
i always learn something new in your videos! ❤ I've never heard of hair gloss before but now i want to try it , my hair is wayvy so it can be dull and become very frizzy. this might be exactly what it needs 😀
I love the money masque from colorwow. I have bleached hair and it's made a huge difference. I also use my regular conditioner after I've rinsed my masque out. Thanks lovely lady for the application tips and I'm definitely going to give a gloss a try xxx
One of your most visually satisfying video's yet, Alexandra! One of my best beauty secrets is being subscribed to your channel. Thanks for all you do!!
I mix argan oil, coconut oil, castor oil, avocado oil and olive oil with a some heavy cream mask usually shea or something from Sallys. I apply it to dry hair in sections and leave on for an hour while doing chores. Then wash as usual. I apply an inexpensive gloss clear shine from Sallys, same brand as my hair dye a few days later.
Hair below the waist club! Masks are essential for me with 2B hair and my boo with 3C hair. We’ve been happily using Lush for almost 10 years but we are open to trying any cruelty free recommendations! ❤💈
My hair is 3A/3B curly, super thick and high density, low porosity with dryer ends, no heat or chemical damage and I'm about 20% gray. I've been following a capillary schedule for about a year now. My favorite hair masks right now are high quality argan oil as an oil treatment (nutrition), Garnier's whole blends honey treasures mask (Hydration) and 7 day fermented rice water followed by the Ellizaveca cer-100 collagen coating hair treatment (protein/ repair). I also love adding extra ingredients to my masks (I use one every wash day followed by conditioner) depending on the purpose so for hydration I can add glycerin, honey, hyloronic acid etc
I have wavy hair (2c/3a). I try to use a mask once a week. I usually use Shea moistures protein power about once a month(or whenever I think my hair needs some protein), and deva curl melt into moisture the other times. I was able to get it on sale for half off when they were switching out the packaging sometime last year. That being said, once I run out, I'll probably try something new :)
I have wavy/frizzy/straight hair and my go-to hair mask is the Ganier Fructis Smoothing Treat 3-in-1 mask! It is amazingggg, you can get it at Walmart!
I have recently started my healthy hair journey after years of crusty, dry hair, and a hair mask is something I never really considered as essential in the past. But a few days ago I bought the Nivea intense repair mask, I’m just waiting for it to be couriered to me, and I am so excited to use it! I am hoping that it will transform my hair for the better!
I love the Briogio Don’t Despair Repair in apple honey. And it comes in the cutest little bottle! I love lamellar waters and rinses as well. That Colorwow money mask looks pretty, I’m not sure if it’s worth the price though
You are honestly the only youtuber on which I press like before I have even watched the first 5 seconds, because I know it's going to be an amazing and helpful video, like every video you do 🤗thank you♥️
My hair is wavy and relatively fine. I’ve found really nice results with the shea moisture hair masks. Currently I’m using their Shea and Manuka honey mask. It gives me really nice results.
I never knew there were different types! I always learn something new with your videos! Been using the Pantene Miracle Mask since forever and is my absolute holy grail especially when I transitioned out of my very damaging, hair rebonding phase years ago!
LOVE your videos, they’re always so organized, honest & helpful. I have thick 2c-3a curly hair & my all-time HG favorite deep condish is a fenugreek deep conditioner from Nature’s Ego on etsy. It’s all natural & actually works. Would recommend her whole line, but the fenugreek condish is where it’s at! Tysm for your vids, sending you much thanks & love & peace during the holidays ❤
Bond repairs don't have to go before shampoo. In fact, a lot of bond repairs are advised to be used after shampoo. This is because they're absorbed better by clean hair. One can use a hair mask or conditioner before shampoo and then go in with a bond repair like Olaplex or K18.
Do natural oils count as hair masks? I’ve used organic cold-pressed coconut oil in my hair as well as blends of various oils over the years. I’m wondering what you think about it, and if that counts?What type of mask would it be? Should I be using industrial treatments instead? Also, amazing video as always!
Hey so i know your comment was a month ago but yes. Natural oils also count. Usually in hair masks there is a combination of many different natural oils in the ingredients. You’re doing good.
The best hair mask for me is L’Oréal Professionnel "Pro Longer", a pink package. Lengths renewing for long hair with amino acids and something called Filler-A100
I have 2b and 3c it’s like wavy and curly when it’s freshly washed and then over time it gets straight when I brush it or not style it. I use the miss Jessie’s hair growth pink hair mask. It’s made my hair SHINE and it made it so healthy. I also love using hair oils. My favorite oils to use are olive, coconut, jojoba, almond and rosemary oil. I don’t use them all at once but whenever I have the time and whatever is within reach I use it on my hair for an hour or overnight. I love your videos and happy new year!
I haven 2C/ 3A curly hair, medium density and fine strands, and I find my hair loves the Noughty to the rescue intense moisture treatment ! It also loves the Garnier papaya or aloe vera mask.. my hair doesn’t seem to agree with shea moisture masks or olaplex, neither work well for my hair
Just curious, but for times you use hair masks, do you generally incorporate conditioner as well? Like would you add it after the hair mask? I don’t have oily hair and my hair tends to frizz pretty easily.
4C hair here! 🤸🏾🤸🏾 I love the Hair Mayonnaise by Africas Best. My mama used to use it on my hair all the time in the 90s. I decided to try it as an adult and boom. 🥰
Im a 3a using the L’Oréal dream length mask every week it works very well for me, not so pricey and it smells so good! I never tried the gloss that your showing from the same L’Oréal line, must give it a try! 🧖♀️
I’ve got kinky curly hair (3c/4a if you subscribe to the curl type chart thingy) and my favorite hair mask is the Amika hair food one. My hairdresser introduced it to me and it works wonders on my naturally dry curls.
My hair's oily, but sometimes it starts to look a little dry, and that's when I use a mask, either Rene Furterer or RoseBaie. My hair looks soft and silky afterwards.
Girl, your nails out here are soooo pretty!! Is it natural?😭 please give us tips and tricks on maintaining natural nails as well 😌💖💖💖💖 alsi I love ur videos💖
Could you please do a tutorial for hairstyle shown in the end of the video? 😍 Because my hair type is looking like yours but i have no idea how you receive such a good looking hairstyle out of curly hair
I have long I would say medium to thick hair density and texture wise, I haven't bought a hair mask in a long time I've done the coconut oil method most recently, but I also wash my hair only every 3 or 4 days and I don't use a lot of hot tools on it so it remains manageable and healthy feeling.. Two or three times a month though the day of washing my hair I will apply extra leave-in conditioner on damp hair with a teeny bit of coconut oil, or other natural oils I might have on hand, put it in a bun for braid let it sit for a couple hours before washing my hair.
Hey thanks for the video. I would have two questions plz. 1)do you use conditioner when you use a mask ? And 2) do you use heat for better effect of Your ask ? (Like reheat a towel and put it on your head etc). Thanks again !!
Thnx for sharing your valuable knowledge with us Alexandera🤩.. U have gorgeous hair 😍.. Please make a video on how to clean led hair brushes n hair straightening brushes (specially when they are used on colored hair)🙃 Stay Blessed Stay Happy Always 🥰🤗😘🧚♀️🦄🌈🧿
My favorite shampoo and hair mask that’s saved my bleached blonde hair is Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura oil Intensive Hydration shampoo and their mask. I use the mask instead of conditioner.
I would suggest to apply a mask one wash, and then on the next wash use the gloss ☺️✨❤️ the gloss should last a few washes where you should only use conditioner and then after a couple washes mask again💗💗💗
That blue container hair mask I’m the beginning is the Color Wow Money Mask and it’s AMAZING!!!!!!! It’s kinda pricey but you get a big tub of it. Highly recommend
