Hair mask for dry hair
Does your hair feel rough, look dull and break easily at the ends? Then it needs more than just shampoo and conditioner. A hair mask for dry hair provides intensive care for your lengths and ends with oils, proteins and moisturising ingredients, leaving your hair feeling soft and smooth again.
Why does hair become dry?
Dry hair lacks moisture and protective natural oils. As a result, the outer layer of the hair fibre becomes less smooth, making hair feel rough, more prone to frizz and less shiny.
Several factors often contribute to dryness:
Heat: Blow-drying, straightening and curling at high temperatures can cause your hair to lose moisture.
Colouring and bleaching: Chemical treatments can make the hair fibre more porous, allowing moisture to escape more easily.
Sun, wind and cold: Environmental conditions can dry out your hair, particularly the lengths and ends.
Hair texture: Natural scalp oils have more difficulty reaching the ends of wavy and curly hair.
What does a hair mask do for dry hair?
A hair mask is richer than a conditioner and is left on for several minutes. During this time, nourishing oils, proteins and moisturising ingredients help soften the hair fibre and smooth its outer layer. The result is softer, shinier hair that's easier to detangle.

What is a good hair mask for dry hair?
The best hair mask for dry hair depends on what is causing the dryness and your hair type. If your hair is mainly dry and dull, a nourishing mask with oils is a good choice. If it's also damaged by heat or bleaching, it may need additional repair. When in doubt, hairdressers recommend starting with a nourishing mask and seeing how your hair responds.

How often should you use a hair mask for dry hair?
Hairdressers recommend using a hair mask once a week for dry or damaged hair. If your hair is bleached, you can use one up to twice a week. Normal hair generally only needs a mask every two weeks. Instant Revive Mask is designed to be used two to three times a week.
Have fine hair? Avoid using a mask too frequently, as excessive conditioning can weigh fine hair down.
How to apply a hair mask
Wash your hair with shampoo and gently towel-dry it. Distribute the mask through your lengths and ends, leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Wrapping your hair in a warm towel while the mask works can help enhance the treatment.
Can you apply a hair mask to dry hair?
KEUNE hair masks are rinse-out treatments designed to be applied to towel-dried hair after shampooing. Damp hair allows the mask to spread evenly through the lengths and makes it easier to rinse out afterwards. Still unsure? Read our guide about how to use a hair mask.
Complete your dry hair care routine
A hair mask works best as part of a consistent haircare routine. Start with a shampoo for dry hair and use a conditioner for dry hair after every wash. Between mask treatments, a leave-in conditioner provides extra softness without the need to rinse it out.
