Hair mask for damaged hair
Hair Mask for Damaged Hair by KEUNE
Does your hair break easily, feel rough or have increasingly noticeable split ends? Then your hair is damaged and needs more strength. A hair mask for damaged hair strengthens the hair fibre and provides intensive care for your lengths and ends. This helps reduce breakage and leaves your hair feeling supple again.
How does hair become damaged?
Hair damage usually develops gradually. Every blow-drying session, colouring treatment or brushing session leaves a small mark, and together they weaken the hair fibre.
Heat
Blow-drying, straightening and curling at high temperatures dry out the hair fibre and roughen its outer layer. That's why you should always use a heat protector before styling.
Bleaching and colouring
During bleaching and colouring, the hair fibre is opened to change its pigment. This weakens the hair's structure, especially if you bleach it frequently. Our blog about caring for bleached hair explains how to take this into account.
Mechanical damage
Everyday habits can also damage your hair: brushing too roughly, rubbing wet hair dry with a towel and wearing tight hair ties. Wet hair is particularly vulnerable, so detangle it gently with a wide-tooth comb.
What does a repairing hair mask do?
The hair fibre contains bonds that give your hair strength and elasticity. Heat, bleaching and colouring can break these bonds. Hair then becomes weaker, breaks more easily and loses its shape.
A repairing hair mask with bond repair helps repair these bonds within the hair fibre. Instant Revive Mask uses BondVive for bond and fibre repair. Oils, butters and proteins also condition the outer surface of the hair, leaving it feeling smoother and less prone to frizz.
Instant Revive Mask or Flash Repair Mask?
Both masks in the Instant Revive range are designed for damaged hair and contain Rose Guard Extract. The difference lies in their processing time and how they are used.
Instant Revive Mask is a deep repair mask for thick, dry and severely damaged hair. Leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes and use it two to three times a week. Instant Revive Flash Repair Mask is a fast-acting bond repair mask that works in just 1 to 3 minutes. Ideal when you're short on time. It strengthens weakened and structurally damaged hair, reduces breakage and makes detangling easier. Choose Instant Revive Mask if dryness and frizz are your main concerns, and Flash Repair Mask if breakage is your biggest concern. Discover the complete Instant Revive range for the matching shampoo and conditioner.
Can a hair mask repair split ends?
The simple answer is no: once a hair end has split, it cannot grow back together. Trimming is still necessary. What a hair mask for split ends can do is strengthen and condition your hair, helping to reduce breakage and the formation of new split ends.

Is your hair mainly weak and prone to breakage? A protein hair mask may also help.
How often should you use a mask for damaged hair?
For damaged hair, hairdressers recommend using a mask at least once a week, or up to twice a week after bleaching. Apply the mask to towel-dried hair after shampooing, concentrating on the lengths and ends. Leave it to work and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Wrapping a warm towel around your hair enhances the treatment.
Protect your hair after using a mask
Repair works best when you also prevent further damage. A leave-in conditioner makes your hair more supple and easier to detangle. Explore all products for damaged hair to complete your routine.
