For best results, use a keratin hair mask once a week. If your hair feels over-moisturized or weighed down, you can reduce usage to every two weeks and alternate with a regular keratin conditioner. For severely damaged or very dry hair, it can be used twice weekly.

Wondering what distinguishes a hair mask from a conditioner? Hair masks are significantly richer and deeply nourishing. A hair mask for dry hair provides longer-lasting moisture, especially when formulated with fortifying ingredients. For curly hair, masks also serve as an excellent detangler, helping to untangle knots without causing breakage.
Furthermore, these masks replenish the hair’s natural oils, often stripped by coloring and heat damage. Opting for a keratin hair mask for damaged hair offers more intense nourishment.
TRESemmé’s Keratin Ultimate Smooth Mask Sachet is a deeply moisturizing treatment, enriched with marula oil, a nourishing antioxidant-rich ingredient. This intensive moisturizing hair mask seals strands to combat humidity and control frizz, leaving locks gorgeously smooth and shiny without weighing them down.
How to Achieve Smooth, Frizz-Free Hair with a Keratin Mask
Now that you understand how the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Mask works, amplify its effects with other products from the Keratin Smooth range. This ensures your hair remains smooth, shiny, and frizz-free.
Follow our simple step-by-step guide below for perfectly smooth and silky hair:
Step 1: Cleanse with Keratin Shampoo
Thoroughly wet your hair and apply a keratin shampoo like TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Anti-Frizz Shampoo. Massage it through the roots with your fingertips to create a lather, working down to the ends where frizz and damage are often more prevalent.
Step 2: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse your hair thoroughly, squeezing out excess water to ensure all shampoo is removed.
Step 3: Apply Keratin Mask
Apply a generous amount of the TRESemmé Keratin Ultimate Smooth Mask Sachet, distributing it evenly through your hair from the mid-lengths to the ends.
Step 4: Detangle and Nourish
Run a wide-tooth comb or your fingers through your hair to smooth and detangle. Leave the mask on for 3–5 minutes for an ultimate nourishing experience before rinsing thoroughly.
Step 5: Maintain and Finish
Use the mask once a week or whenever your hair needs a nourishing boost. If weekly use feels excessive for your hair type, alternate with a keratin conditioner – such as TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Anti-Frizz Conditioner – which offers similar frizz-reducing benefits. After drying, apply a keratin serum to enhance effects and add a shiny finish.
With these steps, you now know how to use a TRESemmé hair mask with keratin to reduce frizz and achieve smooth, silky results. Style with confidence, knowing your hair looks as good as it feels.
