Intensive Repair Mask with Shea Butter

2 to 3 times a week, always straight after the shampoo. There is no need to use it at every wash: it is a deep-nourishing treatment, and at that frequency hair keeps its flexibility without being weighed down. Leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse with plenty of water, preferably warm or cold, never hot.

After shampooing, squeeze out the excess water and stir the product a little before use. Put an amount suited to the length and volume of your hair in the palm of your hand and rub for a few seconds. Apply evenly from mid-lengths to ends, never at the roots. Leave for 5 minutes, detangle with your fingers and rinse with warm or cold water.

The Intensive Repair line. Because it contains shea butter, it provides moisture for dry or damaged hair and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It absorbs easily into the scalp and does not clog the pores, delivering moisture from the roots and carrying it down to the ends. That makes it very beneficial for frizzy, colour-treated or heat-treated hair.

Shea butter is extracted from the nut of the shea tree, which grows in the tropical regions of East and West Africa. It is the most widely used natural hair conditioner and is known as “mother nature's conditioner” for its extraordinary moisturising properties. It soothes an irritated scalp, protects against heat without leaving a greasy or heavy feel, is credited with a low but sufficient SPF against ultraviolet rays, and is an excellent softener for coarse, brittle or fragile curly hair.

Yes. The formula is free of sulfates, harsh salt systems and dyes, which are exactly the ingredients that wear down colour and weaken straightening treatments. It is safe on colour-treated, highlighted, bleached or straightened hair, and helps the tone last longer.

Yes. The Intensive Repair Mask does the job of a conditioner and goes further: the shea butter and its amino acid complex work inside the hair fibre, repairing chemical and heat damage rather than only treating the surface. That is why it is left on for 5 minutes instead of rinsed out straight away.
