The Difference Between Conditioner And Hair Mask

1. The composition and action principle are different. The acidic components in the conditioner neutralize the residual alkaline substances, balance the pH value, close the hair scales, and wrap a film on the hair surface to increase the luster and smoothness. The main components of the hair film are amino acids, proteins and other nutrients needed by the hair, and it has very strong permeability. It can penetrate into the deep layer of the hair, fill the holes formed by damage, and repair the hair from inside to outside.

2. Different functions. Hair conditioner is used to soften and repair the surface of hair, so it is generally called rinsing hair conditioner. Hair mask is a kind of cream material that moisturizes and nourishes hair. It can enter hair through hair scales and help repair fiber tissue, so as to help hair restore vitality, more luster and softness.

3. The use frequency is different. Conditioner is generally used with shampoo. It can be used after washing every time to avoid hair knotting. As the hair mask can achieve deep care, it is recommended to do it once a week.

4. Different methods of use. Generally, after shampoo, apply an appropriate amount of conditioner, slowly massage the scalp to promote absorption, and then rinse it directly with warm water. The hair mask is recommended to use a towel to absorb water after shampoo, apply it appropriately, wrap it with a hot towel and bath cap and stay for 15-20 minutes. If conditions permit, it is better to wear an electric cap. Then rinse it with warm water.
