Which one are you talking about?

I used Biolage Hair Mask this weekend. I'm trying to make sure that it's not another protein conditioner.

different mask have different purposes. I'm sure it will have the indications on the box. Some moisturize, condition, make hair stronger, give more protection, prevent dandruff, prevent itching, etc.

Thanks for the posts. I don't know of any particular hair mask. I just heard someone mention it and didn't know what it was. So it sounds like its another conditioning method. Do you apply it any differently? Is it worth doing? You can get a hair mask at the salon I go to, but they charge a little more. What are some brands? Thanks again!

I use Matrix Masque. It's a deep conditioner that you apply after washing. It's really thick. I really like it.

I've always wondered what the purpose of masks were myself.

Me too HLD. Adrienne sent me one (that Valleygirl bought for the LA meeting) over 1 year ago and I still haven't used it. Not sure what they're for...lol

I always get the sense that they are thicker or heavier than other conditioners.

The Salerm Wheatgerm is a Mask. It's just conditioner, it's not creamy though, but you use it the same way. It has oil in it which leaves your hair softened nicely. I'm not sure what differentiates it though. But I give the Salerm Wheatgerm /images/graemlins/up.gif /images/graemlins/up.gif /images/graemlins/up.gif /images/graemlins/smile.gif
