You can use any type of hair mask you want. A store-bought one will work just fine, but a homemade one would be even better You can use your own recipe, or you can try one of the ones from the section below. Double the recipe if you have long or thick hair. If you need to, divide your hair into sections first. Use a wide-toothed comb to help distribute the mask through your hair. This step can get messy, so it would be a good idea to drape a towel or a hair dyeing cape around your shoulders. If you have very long hair, pull it up into a loose bun first, then secure it with a clip. Covering your hair with a shower cap will not only keep you clean, but it will also help trap the heat from your scalp and make the mask more effective. How long you wait depends on the type of mask you are using, so be sure to follow the instructions closely. Wash the mask out using a mild shampoo and lukewarm water. Follow up with conditioner, then rinse the conditioner out. If the mask recipe has a different set of cleansing instructions, then follow those instead. Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes before washing it out. This will help soften your hair further. Let it air dry and skip the hair dryer. Hair dryers can damage hair.

summary: Choose and prepare your mask. Apply the mask to your hair, starting from the roots. Cover your hair with a shower cap. Wait 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse the mask off. Pat your hair dry.
