How to use Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask: step by step

1. Step 1: Shampoo. Wash your hair with your usual shampoo and rinse well. The mask goes on clean hair.
2. Step 2: Remove excess water. Gently squeeze your hair with a towel so it's damp, not dripping.
3. Step 3: Apply the mask. Work the mask through clean, damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends where hair is usually driest.
4. Step 4: Comb through. Use a wide-tooth comb to spread the mask evenly.
5. Step 5: Wait 5–7 minutes. Leave the mask on for 5–7 minutes.
6. Step 6: Rinse thoroughly. Rinse until your hair no longer feels slippery with product.
7. Step 7: Finish with Moroccanoil Treatment. Towel-dry, rub a small amount of Treatment between your palms and distribute it evenly through your hair, avoiding the scalp. Detangle and style as usual.
