How long will one tub of treatment last me? 

One tub of treatment masque is designed to last for several applications, typically providing enough product for approximately 6-8 uses, depending on your hair length and thickness. 


Remember this is a weekly ritual!  

How do I apply a haircare treatment masque? 

To apply a haircare treatment masque, start with clean, damp hair. Take a generous amount of the masque and distribute it evenly from mid-lengths to ends. For best results, leave it on for the recommended time, usually between 5to 10 minutes. 

What benefits can I expect from using a haircare treatment masque?

Regular use of a haircare treatment masque can lead to numerous benefits, including improved hydration, enhanced shine, reduced frizz, increased manageability, and overall healthier hair. It can also help to strengthen and repair damaged strands. 

Can I leave the masque on my hair overnight?

While some masques are designed for extended wear, leaving the Ritual Treatment Masque on overnight is not recommended. Prolonged exposure can lead to over conditioning, which may weigh down the hair. 

Are haircare treatment masques suitable for colour treated hair? 

Yes, the Ritual Treatment Masque is specifically formulated to be safe for colour treated hair.  

Can I use a haircare treatment masque if I have oily hair? 

Absolutely! Even oily hair can benefit from a treatment masque. However, focus the application on the mid lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp area to prevent excess oiliness. 

What ingredients should I look for in a haircare treatment masque? 

Look for nourishing ingredients such as argan oil, shea butter, keratin, collagen and vitamins. These ingredients can help hydrate, strengthen, and repair hair. Avoid masques with harsh sulfates or parabens, which can strip natural oils. 

How should I store my haircare treatment masque? 

Store your haircare treatment masque in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and maintain the product's efficacy. 

What if I experience an allergic reaction to the masque? 

If you experience any irritation or allergic reaction after using a haircare treatment masque, discontinue use immediately. It’s advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying the product to your hair.

Can I use a haircare treatment masque in conjunction with other hair products? 

Yes, you can use a haircare treatment masque alongside other hair products. However, it’s best to avoid using heavy styling products immediately before application, as this can hinder the masque's effectiveness. Ensure your hair is clean for optimal results. 

What is the shelf life of a haircare treatment masque once opened? 

The shelf life of a haircare treatment masque is typically around 12 months once opened. To ensure the product remains effective, it’s essential to store it in a cool, dry place and tightly seal the lid after each use. 

How does a haircare treatment masque differ from regular conditioner?

A haircare treatment masque is more concentrated and designed for intensive care, delivering deeper hydration and repair than a regular conditioner. While conditioners typically focus on surface level moisture, masques penetrate the hair shaft for long lasting
results.

Will a haircare treatment masque make my hair greasy?

When used correctly, a haircare treatment masque should not make your hair greasy. It's important to apply the masque primarily to the mid lengths and ends of the hair, avoiding the scalp. If your hair feels greasy afterward, you may be using too much product. 

Can I mix my haircare treatment masque with other products?

While it's generally not recommended to mix your haircare treatment masque with other products, you can layer it with a leave in conditioner or oil after rinsing for added benefits. Always follow the product's instructions for best results. 

How long should I leave the haircare treatment masque in for? 

For best results, it is recommended to leave the haircare treatment masque in for 5 to 10 minutes. To enhance its effectiveness, make sure to remove excess moisture from your hair with a towel before applying the product to clean, damp hair. This allows the
masque to penetrate the hair more effectively, providing optimal nourishment and hydration.

Can I use the Ritual Treatment Masque on hair extensions?

While the Ritual Treatment Masque is designed to nourish and hydrate the hair, it's important to note that you should avoid using products that contain protein or keratin on hair extensions. Using protein or keratin based products may lead to stiffness or damage, as these ingredients can alter the texture and manageability of the extensions.

Will the Ritual Treatment Masque make my hair straight? 

The Ritual Treatment Masque is not a keratin straightening treatment, so it will not make your hair straight or alter you hair's natural structure. 

 What do active ingredients in a haircare treatment masque do?

Active ingredients in a haircare treatment masque can serve various essential functions to improve hair health. They can provide moisturisation, helping to hydrate and prevent dryness. Ingredients like proteins (such as keratin) can repair damage and strengthen
the hair structure, while vitamins and botanical extracts can nourish the hair, enhancing texture and shine. Additionally, certain ingredients can help control frizz by creating a protective barrier around the hair, making it more manageable. 

How often should I use the ritual treatment masque?

It is recommended to use the Ritual Treatment Masque once per week. Due to the professional grade ingredients and strength of the formulation, it is not necessary to use this product more frequently. Consistency in using it weekly allows for optimal benefits
while maintaining the integrity of your hair. Remember, it’s a ritual aimed at enhancing your hair's health and appearance.
