Hair mask for a dry scalp

In short

Choose a leave-in mask made for the scalp, not the lengths. The Scalp Therapy Nourishing Mask is applied to the scalp, massaged in and left on overnight, three to four times a week, as the last step of the Scalp Therapy routine.

01

Deeper care than a shampoo alone

A dry scalp can feel tight or itchy, or show small flakes, often because its moisture balance is disturbed. The Scalp Therapy Nourishing Mask cares for the scalp more deeply than a shampoo or conditioner alone: applied directly to the scalp and left on overnight.

02

When to choose a mask over a conditioner

They do different jobs.

Works on the hair

Conditioner

Quick, rinse-out care for the lengths: soft, easy-to-comb hair.

Works on the scalp

Nourishing Mask

Richer, left on overnight, and targeted at a scalp that feels dry, tight or sensitive.

03

How to use it

Three to four times a week, as part of your scalp care routine.

  1. 1

    Apply

    A generous amount, directly onto the scalp.

  2. 2

    Massage

    Gently, with your fingertips.

  3. 3

    Leave in

    Overnight. Do not rinse it out.

04

Where it fits in the Scalp Therapy routine

Use the Peeling Serum first (1 to 2 times a week) to loosen build-up, then the Exfoliating Shampoo to cleanse, and finish with the Nourishing Mask as a leave-in. Together the three cleanse, care for and support the scalp.

Questions answered

Frequently asked

Still unsure? Ask at either salon, or send us a message.

Can I use this instead of a conditioner?

Yes. You would usually choose either shampoo with conditioner, or shampoo with the Nourishing Mask, depending on whether your hair or your scalp needs more care.

How is this different from the conditioner?

The conditioner works quickly and focuses on the hair. The mask is richer, stays on much longer and works on the scalp.

Do I rinse it out?

No. It is a leave-in mask. Apply it to the scalp, massage it in and leave it on, ideally overnight.
