A rich scalp and hair mask designed to support moisture retention in dry scalps and hair, intensely condition dry or textured hair, and lightly exfoliate for a calmer, more comfortable scalp environment.

Formulation

This is a rinse-out treatment mask formulated with humectants such as glycerin and betaine, conditioning oils including coconut, shea and avocado, gentle exfoliant gluconolactone, and hydrolysed pea protein. In combination, these ingredients are particularly effective at supporting moisture retention in dry scalps and hair, softening the hair shaft and helping with gradual removal of dead surface cells without stripping.

Who this suits

Best suited to dry, coarse or tightly coiled hair, including 4C textures that need support with moisture retention beyond a standard conditioner. Helpful where there is scalp tightness, dryness or mild flaking, and for anyone wanting a richer treatment at wash day.

Who should avoid it

Less suitable for very oily scalps that become greasy quickly, or for those with active scalp disease who require medicated products. Individuals with known fragrance sensitivity should patch test first, as this is a scented formula.

How to use it properly

Apply to freshly washed, towel-dried hair and scalp. Massage gently, then leave on for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. It can be used at every wash or as a top-up treatment when extra moisture support is needed. 

Verdict

This mask is not a treatment for underlying scalp disease, but it is a strong option for improving comfort and supporting moisture retention in dry or textured hair. The blend of humectants, conditioning oils and gentle exfoliation makes it an effective choice when it feels like your conditioners are not doing enough.
