Oman today_ Hair masks can be used to reduce split ends and are generally categorized into two types: rinse-out masks (used in the shower) and leave-in masks (applied outside the shower). To use a rinse-out mask, start by washing your hair with a suitable shampoo and gently squeeze out the excess water using your hands and a towel. Next, divide your hair into several sections and apply an appropriate amount of the mask to your hands, spreading it evenly along the hair strands starting about 5 centimeters below the roots. Massage the mask gently without tugging or pulling on your hair, and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. For better results, you can cover your hair with a warm towel or a heat cap to help the mask penetrate deeply into the hair shaft. Finally, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm to cool water.
For leave-in masks, after showering, remove excess water so that the hair is damp but not completely dry. Divide the hair into sections, spread a small amount of the mask on your hands, and apply it along the hair strands. After combing, dry your hair using a hairdryer on a cool or warm setting. Using a two-phase heat-protectant serum before blow-drying helps reduce dryness and prevent split ends. Following these steps strengthens the hair shaft, reduces breakage, and helps prevent split ends.
