How to choose the perfect mask for your twist
To find the mask that best suits your curls, it is worth starting by determining the porosity and condition of the hair. If your strands are highly porous, bet on a mask rich in emollients.
Pay attention to the balance of PEH - reach for masks with humectants when the hair is overdried, choose versions with proteins for loose, springless curls, and in case of electrifying hair, bet on emollients. Make sure the product helps to fix the twist, provides elasticity, shine and makes it easier to control frizz.

You can easily incorporate the mask into your daily care, also if you use the Curly Girl Method. The most common scheme is as follows:
- Apply the right amount of mask to freshly washed, damp hair.
- Gently hammer it into the strands, bypassing the scalp.
- Leave for a few to a dozen minutes - the longer, the more intensive the regeneration.
- Rinse with lukewarm or cool water.
- Style your hair to your liking.
You can also use a small amount as a quick conditioner or apply the product to the tips without rinsing.
Regular use facilitates combing, gives softness and emphasizes the natural twist, and the pleasant smell makes grooming a little pleasure every day.Also check out:
