Before applying the hydration mask, the head is washed with shampoo to eliminate the residues present and, after removing all the shampoo, apply the mask and let it act for 5 to 10 minutes according to the product used. Then, rinse the head well and use the conditioner to seal the strands, ensuring hydration and softness of the hair.
