Is it best to use a hair mask on wet or dry hair?It’s always best to follow the manufacturer’s directions but most hair masks work best on clean, towel-dried hair.
Do you put a hair mask on before or after washing?Again, it’s best to follow the manufacturer’s directions, but it’s usually best to apply after cleaning hair. Otherwise, the buildup in the hair will prevent the hair mask from fully penetrating the hair shaft.
