Deep conditioning hair mask is a restorative hair repairing treatment. Can be used as and when required, but restrict it to once a week. Deep conditioning masks need to be applied on your scalp and hair from roots to tip. Apply the mask from roots to tips focusing on your tips. Tips are usually very dry and brittle, since natural oils take a while to work down the length of your hair strands. Applying a deep conditioning masks to your tips will restore oils, preventing breakage and split ends.
