1. Unshrink a sweater

    1 tbsp conditioner + lukewarm water

    Soak for 30 minutes, gently stretch it back into shape and dry it flat.

  2. Leave-in, quick

    A pea-sized dab on damp ends

    Rub it between your palms first. Too much makes hair flat.

Steps

  1. 1Shampoo as usual, then gently squeeze out as much water as you can.
  2. 2Work the mask through the lengths and ends, then comb it through so every strand is coated.
  3. 3Pile your hair up under a shower cap and wrap a warm towel around it. The warmth helps the mask soak in.
  4. 4Leave it for the time on the label, usually 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse with cool water until your hair feels smooth, not slippery.

  • Rinse-out, leave-in or deep

    Rinse-out is for every wash. Leave-in stays in to help with tangles. A deep conditioner or mask is a weekly treat.

  • Light or rich

    Fine hair does better with a light formula. Thick, curly or dry hair can take a richer one.

  • Match your shampoo

    It doesn't have to be the same brand. But if your shampoo is color-safe or sulfate-free, look for a conditioner that says the same.
