moisturizing hair masks for all hair types
if you haven’t met our classic bestseller soulfood nourishing mask, it’s time for an intro! not only is this mask great for any hair type, it’s seriously loved for its deep conditioning.
what it is: soulfood nourishing mask is a vitamin- and nutrient-packed hair mask that works to deeply condition and soften strands so they’re 11.4x more moisturized.*
*clinically proven after one use
why we love it: since this mask is incredibly lightweight, it can be used daily on porous, dehydrated hair for an added moisture boost. for other strand types, soulfood can also be used weekly as a deep conditioning treatment.
how to use it: after shampooing, gently massage soulfood mask through wet strands from roots to ends and leave it in for 5 to 7 minutes, then rinse.
moisturizing hair masks for dry, textured hair types
parched, low porosity strands in need of a serious moisture boost, we made hydro rush intense moisture mask just for you.
