Is it better to use a hair mask or a conditioner?

A head of beautiful long hair can add points to your beauty, and in order to make their hair more beautiful, many female friends will use some hair care products in their daily life. However, with the increase in the types of hair care products nowadays, many female friends are confused when choosing hair care products. They don’t know whether it is better to use traditional conditioners to repair hair or to use hair masks.

If you want to know whether hair mask or conditioner is better, you must first know their specific functions. After use, the conditioner can effectively close the hair cuticles and improve the development of your hair, while the hair mask can repair damaged hair, replenish hair nutrients, and make your hair look healthier and more lustrous.

In terms of effect, hair mask replenishes hair nutrition and moisturizes hair, and the effect is relatively better than conditioner. However, hair masks do not close the hair cuticles. Therefore, if you do not use conditioner after using the hair mask, although the hair will feel smooth at first, because the hair cuticles are still open, it will be easier for the moisture and nutrients of the hair to be lost quickly, causing the hair to be more damaged.

How to use hair mask and conditioner

Conditioner: It is a product that should be used after washing hair with shampoo. It can only be applied evenly to the middle and ends of the hair. Remember: it must not be applied to the scalp, because conditioner will be repelled by the oil in the scalp, which may cause itchy and oily scalp at the mildest, or hair loss in small areas at the worst.

Hair mask (inverted mask): It is also a product used after washing your hair. Unlike conditioner, it can act directly on the scalp. The method of use is very simple. After washing your hair, wipe it with a towel until it is semi-dry. Apply the hair care mask evenly on your hair and wait for about 15-30 minutes before washing it off with water.

In fact, no matter whether it is better to use a hair mask or a conditioner, if you want to have beautiful hair, the best way is to first use a hair mask to replenish the nutrients needed for your hair, and then use the conditioner to lock in the nutrients for your hair after washing. This is the best way for you to have beautiful hair and it is also the most scientific way to protect your hair.
