How Often Should You Really Use A Hair Mask?

Timing is everything.
May 22, 2020

Masks are making a comeback these days — especially in your beauty routine. From face masks to foot peels, there’s one for every part of your body and that includes your hair. Hair masks are a great way to provide your strands with a dose of rehydration. But while you may know how to apply hair masks, getting the best results comes down to knowing how often to use a hair mask and what kind is best for your hair type. Below, we’re sharing our tips to the perfect masking frequency and choosing the right hair mask to refresh and rejuvenate your strands.


Can You Use Hair Masks Every Day?

If you’re obsessed with healthy, moisturized locks like us, you’re probably tempted to use a hair mask every day. But honestly, this beauty staple works best when used once or twice a week. Since your hair can only hold so much hydration, once it reaches its maximum levels any product you apply on top of that isn’t actually helping your hair— only weighing it down. Not to mention, you may just end up wasting product, which isn’t great for your wallet or the environment. 


Hair Masks Vs. Deep Conditioner: What’s The Difference

While the benefits of hair masks and deep conditioners can be very similar, they both have key differences. Typically, deep conditioners are used more often than a hair mask. For example, when your strands are extra dry or really in need of some care, you can swap your regular conditioner for a deep conditioner. On the other hand, regardless of the state of your hair, you’ll only want to use a mask no more than a couple of times a week.
