1) What ingredient should I look for in a hair mask?

The key ingredient to look for in any good quality hair mask is protein. This helps to strengthen and fortify each individual curl while preventing further damage from occurring.

2) Should I use my regular conditioner before using a hair mask?

No! It's important to shampoo your curls first so you remove any product buildup & dirt then apply your chosen mask generously all over your strands avoid coating your scalp too much as it may weigh down your roots after application leave on between 10-20 minutes.

3) Can I leave my hair mask overnight?

While leaving a traditional conditioner on overnight isn't advisable since curly locks are prone to dryness & frizz however...Hair masks designed specifically for deep conditioning purposes are meant to sit longer (up until an hour at most).

4) How often should I use a hair mask on my curls?

It depends upon how much exposure do they have towards heat styling tools or harsh weather conditions like extreme temperatures sun/rain/humidity etc., typically once every two weeks But if you're experiencing extra-damaged strands or split ends feel free try bumping up its usage frequency but certainly under expert guidance - not more than twice per week though.

5) Are there certain brands that cater specifically toward curly-haired people?

Yes! there are many brands that cater to the specific needs of curly haired people with specially formulated hair masks & leave-in treatments from DevaCurl, Ouidad, The Mane Choice and Shea Moisture etc. all focus on providing targeted solutions.
