Conditioner sits on hair for a minute and rinses off. A mask stays on long enough to actually do something. That's the whole difference, and it's why hair that gets a weekly mask behaves differently from hair that doesn't.
This one is built around collagen and keratin — two conditioning proteins that coat the hair shaft, smooth down the cuticle, and leave the surface even. An even surface reflects light, which is what shine actually is, and it also means strands slide past each other instead of catching, which is what makes hair feel soft and comb through easily.
The dual action
Most hair has two opposite problems at once. Roots get oily because the scalp produces sebum; ends get dry because that oil never travels far enough down. Treating the whole head the same way makes one end worse.
This works on both: light enough through the roots not to weigh hair down or leave it greasy by the next morning, and rich enough through the mid-lengths and ends to soften the part that actually needs moisture.
How to use it
- Shampoo and squeeze out the excess water — a mask can't penetrate hair that's already saturated.
- Work it through the mid-lengths and ends. Go lighter at the roots.
- Leave it five to ten minutes. Longer is better, and this is the step people skip.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water — cool water helps the cuticle lie flat.
Once a week is plenty for most people. Twice if your hair is very dry, colour-treated, or heat-styled often.
Use it on your wigs too
Human hair wigs and extensions need conditioning more than your own hair does, not less — they're cut off from the scalp that would normally supply them with oil, so nothing replenishes them between washes. A weekly mask through the mid-lengths and ends is the single most effective thing you can do to keep a wig soft and stop the ends going dry and straw-like.
Apply it with the wig on a stand, work it through with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb from the ends upward, leave it, then rinse. Avoid saturating the lace or the wefts at the cap.
Why it's worth buying
- It works on hair you've already got and hair you've bought. One tub covers your natural hair and your wigs.
- It doesn't weigh hair down. The lighter formulation at the roots is the difference between soft hair and flat hair.
- Buy one or stock up. Available in single, double and triple packs, with the multipacks working out considerably cheaper per tub.
- It's the cheapest upgrade to your routine. Ten minutes a week does more for how hair looks than any styling product.
- Suits everyone. All hair types, all genders, colour-treated or natural.
Good to know
Use within 12 months of opening. Keep out of the eyes and rinse with water if it gets in. As with any cosmetic product, if you have a sensitive scalp or a known allergy, patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before first use.

Length and shrinkage guide
All our lengths are measured stretched. Textured hair sits shorter than its stated measurement once it is dry:
- Straight — almost no shrinkage. What you order is what you see.
- Body wave — an inch or two shorter.
- Deep wave and water wave — roughly a fifth to a quarter shorter.
- Curly and kinky curly — up to half. A 20 inch curly piece can sit at 10 inches once dry.
If you are between two lengths, take the longer one. Length disappointment is the commonest reason wigs get sent back, and sizing up costs nothing.
Wigs also arrive compressed from packaging and look thinner and shorter than expected. Shake it out and let it hang before judging it.
Choosing your cap
The cap decides how convincing the wig looks and how much skill it takes to put on. Neither end of this list is better — they suit different people.
- 4x4 closure — the simplest to install and the hardest to get wrong. One parting position. The sensible first wig.
- 4x6, 4x7 and 5x5 closure — a wider lace area, so you can move your parting without exposing the cap.
- 13x4 frontal — ear to ear coverage with real parting space. Middle part, deep side sweep, or moved between wears.
- 13x5 and 13x6 frontal — five or six inches of depth, so a deep middle part stays convincing all the way back.
- 360 frontal — lace around the whole perimeter. The only option if you want high ponytails and updos.
- V-part and half wigs — no lace at all. Your own hair is left out to blend, so the parting is genuinely your scalp.
Frontals give the most freedom and take the most practice. Closures are quicker, more forgiving, and often wearable glueless with straps and combs.
Care
A human hair wig has no scalp feeding it oil, so the ends dry out faster than your own hair would. Looking after it is the difference between a wig that lasts a season and one that lasts years.
- Detangle from the ends upward, never from the roots down. On textured hair, do it wet with conditioner in — dry brushing pulls the wave or curl pattern out permanently.
- Wash sparingly with a sulphate-free shampoo, in sections rather than piling it up.
- Condition through the mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots, and use a weekly mask.
- Air dry on a stand. Allow plenty of time at higher densities — a dense wig put away damp is how wigs develop a smell.
- Heat protectant every time, at moderate temperatures. Repeated high heat wears a wig out faster than anything else.
- Refresh between wears with water and a little conditioner in a spray bottle rather than rewashing.
- Handle lace gently at the hairline, and store on a stand so the shape holds.
On coloured hair: reds and blondes fade fastest. Wash in cool water, and use a purple toning shampoo every few washes on blonde and highlighted pieces.
