How to Use a Botanical Hair Treatment for Damaged Hair

Quick answer

Use a botanical hair treatment as a deep conditioning mask after shampooing, focusing on mid-lengths and ends, and rinse with cool water for best results.

How to use a botanical hair treatment

1. Start with clean, damp hair: Shampoo your hair as usual and gently towel-dry so it's damp but not dripping. This allows the treatment to absorb better. Applying to soaking wet hair dilutes the product and reduces effectiveness.
2. Apply the treatment evenly: Squeeze a small amount of the botanical hair treatment into your palms and work it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Avoid the roots to prevent greasiness. Using too much product can weigh hair down; start with a quarter-sized amount and add more if needed.
3. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes: Leave the treatment on for the recommended time (check the label). For deeper conditioning, cover your hair with a shower cap or warm towel to help the ingredients penetrate. Leaving it on longer than recommended won't increase benefits and may make rinsing harder.
4. Rinse thoroughly with cool water: Rinse with cool water to seal the hair cuticle and lock in moisture. Follow with your usual conditioner if desired, though many botanical treatments are leave-in friendly. Hot water strips natural oils and can undo the treatment's smoothing effects.
