It is ideal when your lengths feel dry, your ends feel rough, or your hair needs a little extra support after colouring, heat styling, or a busy few weeks. We choose a mask that suits your hair type, then work it through the mid lengths and ends for a noticeable boost in feel and finish. ## What the Faking It Intensive Mask does for your hair Think of this as targeted conditioning where you need it most, without making hair feel heavy. - Adds softness to dry mid lengths and ends - Helps smooth frizz and flyaways for an easier blow dry - Improves slip for easier detangling and less snagging - Supports shine and a more polished finish - Helps hair feel less brittle after heat styling or colouring ### When an Intensive Mask is the right call The Faking It Intensive Mask is a great choice if your hair feels like it is not behaving, even after your usual conditioner. - Your ends feel crunchy, rough, or knot easily - Hair feels dry after holidays, swimming, or lots of blow drying - Colour treated hair feels a bit dull or thirsty - You want smoother results from your cut or blow dry ### How the Faking It Intensive Mask fits into your appointment This is a simple add on that sits neatly within your wash stage. We apply it after cleansing, focus it through the lengths and ends, then rinse thoroughly so hair feels soft, not coated. If you are having a cut or colour, it is an easy way to improve the final finish and the way your hair feels in the days after. ### After your Intensive Mask, keeping hair feeling good at home A mask works best when you keep things gentle between appointments. - Use a conditioner that matches your hair type, not just what smells nice - Keep heat a little lower, and use heat protection every time - Book in a trim when ends start catching or splitting, rather than waiting for a big cut - If you love the soft feel, ask how often a mask makes sense for your hair and routine [Book Online](https://book.frively.com/salons/bed4aad0-2b0d-4ce5-9611-cefb69c616bc/book) ## Frequently Asked Questions Is the Faking It Intensive Mask suitable for fine hair? Yes, it can be. We apply it carefully through the mid lengths and ends and choose a product that will not leave fine hair feeling weighed down. If you prefer extra volume at the roots, we keep the mask away from the scalp. Can I add the Intensive Mask to a colour or cut appointment? Yes, it pairs well with both. It is especially helpful if your hair feels dry or less smooth after colouring, or if you want a sleeker finish with your cut and blow dry. Just mention it when booking, or ask on the day. Will an intensive mask make my hair greasy? It should not when applied and rinsed properly. The key is using the right amount and focusing on the lengths and ends, not the roots. If your hair tends to get oily quickly, tell us so we can keep it light. How is an intensive mask different from normal conditioner? A mask is usually richer and designed to sit on the hair a little longer for deeper conditioning. It is used to improve softness and manageability when hair feels dry or stressed. Conditioner is often more of an everyday step to keep hair feeling balanced. How often should I have the Intensive Mask? It depends on how your hair feels and what you do to it at home. Some people like it as an occasional boost, others find it helpful more regularly alongside colour or frequent heat styling. We can suggest a simple rhythm that fits your routine.
