After applying a hair mask, you can cover your hair with either a shower cap or a silk scarf.
According to the provided reference, covering your hair after applying a hair mask, especially overnight, helps in better absorption and yields smoother results.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Why cover your hair? Covering your hair helps to trap heat, which can enhance the penetration of the mask's ingredients.
-
Options for covering:
- Shower Cap: A readily available and inexpensive option.
- Silk Scarf: A gentler option, especially if leaving the mask on overnight, as silk reduces friction and potential hair breakage.
- Other: A plastic wrap or a warm towel are also suitable.

Overnight Masks:
- Apply the hair mask to slightly damp hair at the end of your shower.
- Cover it with a shower cap or a silk scarf.
- Rinse your hair with lukewarm water the next morning.
