This is a mask for curly hair that you use before washing, not after. That makes it different from most hair masks you know.

• Less frizzy hair after every wash
• Curls feel softer and more flexible
• Easier to comb after rinsing
• Nourishing without weighing your hair down
• Vegan and cruelty-free
• Contains hibiscus extract and shea butter
• Set of two 50 ml sachets

1. Start with dry hair, before going into the shower.
2. Work the mask through your hair from mid-lengths to ends.
3. Leave it in for at least five minutes. Have very dry or damaged hair? Leave it on a bit longer.
4. Rinse well with lukewarm water.
5. Then wash your hair as usual with shampoo and conditioner.

Want to give your curls extra nourishment after washing? The Urban Care Twisted Curls Monoi & Ylang Ylang Leave In Conditioner is a great next step. Apply it to wet hair and don’t rinse it out, so your curls stay supple all day.

Your hair feels instantly softer and less frizzy after use. That’s largely thanks to shea butter, which forms a thin layer around the hair fibre to lock in moisture. Hibiscus extract is packed with antioxidants that protect your hair and boost shine. Together they make your curls look more defined and feel less static. This pre-wash hair mask is a smart choice if you want to treat dry or damaged curls without complicating your routine. Discover more from Urban Care if you want to try the full range.

A regular hair mask is used after washing, on wet hair. A pre-wash mask is used before, on dry hair.

How exactly do you use a pre-wash hair mask for curls? You apply it on dry hair, leave it in, then rinse out before shampooing. This protects your hair during washing and gives it extra nourishment before the shampoo hits. It’s handy if your hair dries out or breaks easily during washing.

The mask works best on wavy to tightly curled hair that feels dry or frizzy.

Do you have very fine curly hair? Then apply the mask only to the ends. Shea butter and proteins can weigh fine hair down. Have medium to coarse curls that are dry or damaged? Then you’ll notice the biggest difference.

That depends on how strictly you follow the method.

The mask contains Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, a cleansing ingredient that strict CG followers prefer to avoid. If you use the Curly Girl method as a loose guideline for gentle, nourishing products, this mask fits well into your routine. If you’re very strict and check every ingredient, this is important to know before buying.

The hair mask market for curls is large, but most masks are used after washing. The Urban Care Twisted Curls Pre Hair Mask - 2x50ml takes a different spot in your routine and complements a regular conditioner instead of replacing it.

Compared to premium brands like Kérastase, this mask offers a similar focus on nourishment and frizz control, but at a fraction of the price. Want maximum results and willing to invest more? A premium line with richer ingredients is a better choice. Want an affordable hair mask that makes your curls softer and less frizzy without fuss? This mask is exactly what you're looking for. The Urban Care Twisted Curls Monoi & Ylang Ylang Hair Mask is a good alternative if you prefer a mask to apply after washing.
