How to Use Fino Hair Mask: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Clean Your Hair

Start with a shampoo. Use a gentle shampoo that will cleanse your hair of dirt, oil, and product buildup, and allow the hair mask to penetrate deep.

Expert Tip: A good temperature is lukewarm to warm, to help open up the hair cuticle.

Step 2: Towel-Dry Hair

Only make a half-hearted attempt to dry your hair and just squeeze the excess out. Just make sure your hair is damp, not soaked wet.

Step 3: Apply Fino Mask

Scoop a large amount of the mask out (about a tablespoon for medium length hair), and smear it from roots to ends, and the focus should be on the hair length, not sca. This can avoid buildup or being oily.

Step 4: Comb Through

Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, whichever is easiest to use, to coat evenly.

Step 5: Let Sit

Let the hair mask sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes. For deeper penetration, wrap the hair in a warm towel or use a shower cap.

Expert Tip

“I recommend leaving it on for 15 minutes once a week for deep repair,” says Aya Nishimoto, a hairstylist based in Tokyo.

Step 6: Rinse Cold

Have water at room temperature, cool, or lukewarm. Rinse in cool water to seal the cuticle and keep moisture in.

Step 7: Style as Normal

Dry and Style your hair as usual. You should see shinier, smoother strands immediately.
