The last recipe should be used as a deep hydration mask, that is, it should be applied to clean hair. First, you will wash your hair with your shampoo, then remove excess water and apply the cassava mask. Then, you will remove all the product and finish by applying your conditioner.
This routine helps keep the strands clean and seal the hair cuticles, storing water and hydration properties within the strand.
