Leave-In Hair Masks & Treatments

Intensive care without an extra rinse

Dry, brittle or damaged hair often needs more than just a regular conditioner. Leave-in masks and treatments extend your haircare routine after washing and, depending on the formula, help provide hydration, repair, strengthening, smoothing or protection.

They are particularly suitable for dry, damaged, colour-treated, lightened or otherwise stressed hair. Some products are designed mainly for the lengths and ends, while others can also be applied to the scalp or hair roots.

What's the difference between a leave-in mask and a leave-in treatment?

Leave-in hair masks are primarily designed to provide intensive care for the lengths of the hair. They can help with repair, hydration, smoothing and strengthening and are often recommended for damaged or stressed hair.

Leave-in treatments can have a broader range of purposes. Some are intended for the hair lengths, while others are applied directly to the roots or scalp. Their specific benefits always depend on the formula and intended use.

How to choose a leave-in mask or treatment

For dry and dehydrated hair, choose hydrating and nourishing formulas. If your hair is damaged, lightened or chemically treated, opt for repairing and strengthening products.

If your hair is fragile, weakened or prone to breakage, treatments that help strengthen and restore the hair fibre may be the best choice. For colour-treated hair, look for products that promote repair, softness and shine.

How to use a leave-in mask or treatment

The method of use depends on the specific product. Masks are most commonly applied to clean, towel-dried hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Treatments may also be intended for direct application to the scalp or roots, depending on their purpose.

The product is not rinsed out after application. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions, particularly regarding the amount to use, where to apply it and how often.

When regular care isn't enough

Leave-in masks and treatments add an intensive step to your haircare routine without requiring an extra rinse. They are ideal when your hair needs additional hydration, repair or strengthening beyond what your regular routine provides.
