A curl mask nourishes the curly mane more intensively than a conditioner and provides it with additional moisture or strengthening ingredients. Dry or damaged curls in particular benefit from a mask, as it can help to make the curl structure appear smoother and reduce frizz. The curls often feel softer and more nourished afterwards.

Curl masks are suitable for wavy, curly and frizzy curls, especially if the curly mane appears dry, dull or damaged. Depending on the formulation, masks can be richer or lighter, so that both finer and stronger curls can find the right care.

A curl mask is used after cleansing with shampoo or co-wash. Apply the mask to the lengths of your curly mane and leave it on for a few minutes so that the nourishing ingredients can be absorbed. Then rinse thoroughly and finish with conditioner.

How often you use a mask depends on the needs of your curls. Many curly heads use a curl mask about once a week or when their curly mane feels particularly dry. More intensive care can also be useful after heavy use.

Moisturizing masks help to keep dry curls supple and reduce frizz. Protein masks can strengthen the curl structure and help to make curls appear more resistant. The choice depends on whether your curls need moisturizing or strengthening care.

Use the curl mask after shampooing and allow it to work in sufficiently. Then use a conditioner to lock in the active ingredients.
