This rinse-off hair mask delivers intensive repair and deep conditioning, inspired by salon treatments. It aims to smooth damaged cuticles, restore moisture, and leave hair feeling soft and looking shiny, even in Mauritius's humid climate.

Dealing with hair that feels dry, frizzy, or damaged from heat, colouring, or environmental stress? This mask is designed for you.

• Who it's for: Anyone with dry, damaged, brittle, frizzy, or chemically treated hair seeking intensive repair and smoothness.
• What it does: Deeply conditions, repairs cuticle damage, boosts moisture, reduces frizz, and enhances shine.
• Texture & Scent: Rich, creamy texture. Pleasant floral and fruity scent.
• Key Ingredients: Camellia Seed Oil, Royal Jelly Extract, Soy Protein, Squalane, Pearl Protein.
• Expected Results: Hair feels noticeably softer, smoother, and more manageable immediately after use. With regular use (1-2 times/week), expect improved hair health, reduced breakage, and lasting shine.

1. Shampoo: Cleanse hair thoroughly.
2. Apply Mask: Squeeze out excess water. Apply a generous amount of TSUBAKI Premium Repair Mask from mid-lengths to ends (avoiding scalp). See amount in "How to Use".
3. Wait & Rinse: Leave on for 5-10 minutes (or even just 1 minute for a quick boost). Rinse thoroughly.
4. Conditioner (Optional): Follow with conditioner if needed, though the mask is deeply conditioning.

Note: Already own a similar deep conditioner or mask? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack heavy masks).

• When: After shampooing, 1-2 times per week (or more often if hair is severely damaged).
• Amount: Use a generous amount, enough to evenly coat the mid-lengths and ends.
  • Short hair: Grape-size amount.
  • Medium hair: Walnut-size amount.
  • Long hair: Palm-full amount (adjust as needed).
• Apply to: Damp hair (squeeze out excess water first so the mask isn't diluted). Focus application from mid-lengths to ends, where damage is usually most concentrated. Avoid applying directly to the scalp, especially if you have fine or oily hair, as it can weigh hair down.
• Method: Gently massage or comb through hair to ensure even distribution.
• Wait Time: Leave on for 5-10 minutes for deep conditioning. The brand notes even immediate rinsing provides some benefit due to its penetration technology, but longer is better for intensive repair. For an extra treat, cover hair with a shower cap and wrap in a warm towel while waiting.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until hair feels clean and smooth, with no residue left.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very Damaged/Dry Hair? Use 2-3 times per week and leave on for the full 10 minutes (or even longer under a cap). Consider applying a few drops of hair oil after rinsing and towel-drying.
• Fine Hair? Use a smaller amount and focus only on the very ends. Rinse extremely well to avoid weighing hair down.
• Oily Scalp? Ensure you only apply from mid-lengths down. Rinse very thoroughly.
• Color-Treated Hair? Generally safe, helps restore moisture and smoothness often lost during coloring.

Watchouts: Applying too much near the roots can make hair look flat or greasy faster. Not rinsing thoroughly can leave residue. Remember, consistency (1-2x weekly) brings the best long-term repair benefits.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week as an intensive treatment, replacing your regular conditioner on those days.
• Example Schedule:
  • Sunday: Shampoo → TSUBAKI Mask (leave 10 mins) → Rinse
  • Wednesday: Shampoo → Regular Conditioner → Rinse
  • (Adjust based on your hair's needs - use mask more often if very dry/damaged).
• Compatibility: Can be used alongside most regular shampoos and conditioners. If using a clarifying shampoo, follow with this mask to restore moisture.

Mauritius Note: In high humidity, this mask can help combat frizz by smoothing the hair cuticle. You might use it slightly more often during very humid periods if frizz is a major concern.

• Immediately (After 1 Use): Hair feels significantly softer, smoother, detangled, and looks shinier. Frizz may be noticeably reduced.
• After 2-4 Weeks (Consistent Use 1-2x/week): Hair feels stronger and more manageable. Reduced dryness and brittleness. Improved appearance of split ends (temporarily sealed). Easier styling.
• After 8+ Weeks: Cumulative benefits include healthier-looking hair with better elasticity and resilience against breakage. Continued smoothness and shine. Hair feels deeply nourished.

Note: Results depend on the initial level of damage and consistency of use. This mask primarily repairs existing damage; preventing future damage requires heat protection, gentle handling, etc.

• Myth: "Mayonnaise or raw eggs are great DIY hair masks for protein."
• Reality: Food proteins are too large to penetrate the hair shaft effectively and can leave residue or unpleasant smells. This mask uses hydrolyzed soy protein and amino acids, which are small enough to penetrate and repair hair structure, alongside conditioning agents for smoothness, providing scientifically formulated repair without the mess or questionable efficacy of DIY food masks. Plus, it rinses clean!
• Myth: "You should brush wet hair vigorously to detangle."
• Reality: Wet hair is more fragile and prone to breakage. This mask makes detangling easier *after* rinsing, allowing you to gently comb through with fingers or a wide-tooth comb with less friction and damage. Don't rely on aggressive brushing; use conditioning treatments like this mask to improve slip.

• Works Well With:
  • Most daily shampoos and conditioners (use this mask *instead* of conditioner 1-2x/week).
  • Color-safe shampoos/conditioners (helps maintain moisture in color-treated hair).
  • Leave-in conditioners and hair oils (apply after rinsing out the mask, on towel-dried hair, for extra smoothness/protection).
  • Heat protectant sprays (apply before styling to prevent further damage).
• Use Carefully With:
  • Protein-heavy treatments: If you use other strong protein treatments, using this mask too frequently might lead to protein overload (hair feels stiff or brittle). Alternate protein masks with purely moisturizing masks if needed. This mask contains soy protein and amino acids but is balanced with moisturizing ingredients.
  • Clarifying shampoos: Use this mask immediately after a clarifying shampoo to replenish moisture stripped away.
• Application Area: Mid-lengths and ends. Avoid direct application to the scalp unless your scalp is extremely dry (rarely needed).

• Best For:
  • Dry Hair: Excellent for restoring moisture and softness.
  • Damaged Hair: Ideal for hair damaged by heat styling, chemical treatments (coloring, perms, straightening), or environmental factors.
  • Frizzy Hair: Helps smooth the cuticle, reducing frizz and improving manageability, especially in humid climates like Mauritius.
  • Brittle Hair: Improves elasticity and reduces breakage with conditioning and protein ingredients.
  • Thick or Coarse Hair: Provides deep conditioning and helps soften texture.
• Use with Caution On:
  • Fine Hair: Can potentially weigh hair down if too much is used or not rinsed thoroughly. Use a smaller amount and focus only on the ends.
  • Oily Hair/Scalp: Avoid applying near the roots. Ensure thorough rinsing. The richness might make hair feel greasy faster if applied too high up.
• Generally Suitable For: Straight, wavy, and curly hair types needing repair and moisture. (Very coily hair might need even heavier, oil-rich masks depending on porosity and needs, but this can still be beneficial for repair).

• Hair Damage: Addresses cuticle damage from heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress.
• Dryness & Brittleness: Deeply moisturizes and improves hair flexibility to reduce breakage.
• Frizz & Flyaways: Smoothes the hair surface for better manageability and a sleeker look, especially helpful in Mauritius's humidity.
• Lack of Shine: Seals the cuticle, allowing hair to reflect light better for enhanced glossiness.
• Tangled Hair: Improves slip, making hair easier to detangle after washing.
• Dullness: Revitalizes hair's appearance, making it look healthier and more vibrant.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

• Who Should Use: Suitable for adults and teenagers with damaged, dry, or frizzy hair.
• Use With Caution: Individuals with very fine hair (use sparingly on ends), oily scalps (avoid roots), or known sensitivity to silicones or fragrances.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe for topical hair use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as systemic absorption is minimal. Contains standard cosmetic ingredients. Consult a doctor if concerned.
• Patch Testing: While less common for rinse-off hair products, if you have a very sensitive scalp or skin (e.g., eczema on neck/shoulders), apply a small amount to the skin behind your ear or on your inner elbow. Leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any redness or irritation before applying to hair (as residue might contact skin).
• If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. Rinse thoroughly. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
• Eye Contact: Avoid getting product into eyes. If it happens, rinse eyes thoroughly with clean water.
• Children: Keep out of reach of young children. Intended for ages 12+.

• Texture: Rich, thick, creamy paste. Spreads easily through damp hair.
• Feel During Use: Feels very smooth and slippery, providing excellent detangling.
• Rinse-Out Feel: Rinses relatively cleanly, leaving hair feeling coated but not heavy or greasy when rinsed properly. Hair feels instantly soft and detangled.
• Finish on Hair (Dry): Leaves hair feeling very soft, smooth, and looking significantly shinier. Reduces frizz and improves manageability.
• Scent: Pleasant floral-fruity Tsubaki signature scent. Moderate strength during application, lingers subtly on dry hair.
• pH: Hair masks are typically formulated at an acidic pH (around 3.5-5.5) to help smooth and seal the hair cuticle. Specific pH not published by the brand, but expected to be in this range.
• Comedogenicity/FA Safety (Scalp): Contains Dimethicone, Behentrimonium Chloride, Isopentyldiol which could potentially be problematic for fungal acne if applied heavily to the scalp and not rinsed well. Best kept to mid-lengths and ends. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Hair feels heavy or greasy after use.
  • Solution: You might be using too much product, applying it too close to the scalp, or not rinsing thoroughly enough. Reduce the amount, focus only on mid-lengths/ends, and rinse for an extra 30-60 seconds.
• Issue: Not seeing significant repair results.
  • Solution: Ensure you're using it consistently (1-2 times/week) and leaving it on long enough (5-10 minutes). Results are cumulative. Also, manage expectations – masks repair existing damage but can't undo severe breakage completely. Prevent future damage with heat protectants and gentle styling.
• Issue: Hair feels stiff or brittle after using (rare).
  • Solution: This could indicate protein overload if your hair is sensitive to protein or if you're using multiple protein-heavy products. Try alternating this mask with a purely moisturizing, protein-free mask.
• Issue: Mask doesn't seem to absorb well.
  • Solution: Make sure to squeeze excess water from hair before applying. Applying to soaking wet hair dilutes the mask. Gently massage or comb it through for better distribution.

• Humidity Performance: Excellent. The smoothing ingredients (silicones, oils) help seal the hair cuticle, significantly reducing frizz caused by high humidity. Hair stays smoother and more manageable.
• Texture in Heat: The rich texture might feel slightly heavy for very fine hair in peak summer humidity. Ensure thorough rinsing. For most hair types needing repair, the conditioning benefits outweigh any minor heaviness.
• Sun/Environmental Damage: Ideal for helping repair dryness and damage caused by sun exposure, saltwater, and chlorine, common in Mauritius. Use after beach/pool days to restore moisture and smoothness.
• Usage Adjustment: You might use it more frequently (e.g., twice a week) during particularly humid periods to maintain frizz control, or during drier winter months/heavy AC use to combat dryness.

• Sourcing: Adilsons sources TSUBAKI products directly from authorized distributors in Japan or official regional channels. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
• Packaging Cues: Look for high-quality packaging typical of Shiseido brands. Text will primarily be in Japanese, often with English key ingredients/instructions possibly on a sticker. Check for batch codes printed on the container. Seals may be present depending on the packaging format.
• Verification: If you have any doubts about authenticity, contact Adilsons directly via WhatsApp (+230 5 778 2336) with photos of the packaging and batch code for verification.

• Ingredient Rationale: The formula relies on established haircare ingredients: Camellia Oil is traditionally used in Japan and rich in oleic acid for moisturizing and shine. Royal Jelly provides amino acids and vitamins for nourishment. Hydrolyzed Soy Protein and Amino Acids help patch damaged areas of the hair cuticle. Silicones (Dimethicone, Amodimethicone) provide significant smoothing, detangling, and heat protection benefits by forming a film on the hair shaft. Squalane offers lightweight moisture.
• Brand Technology Claims: Shiseido claims innovative penetration technology allows repair ingredients (like Dual Amino Acids) to quickly enter the hair shaft, justifying the "0-second wait time" concept. They also mention "CMC (Cell Membrane Complex) repair" pathways targeted by the ingredients. Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.*
• Independent Studies: While specific independent studies on this exact mask formulation may be limited, the efficacy of its core ingredients (camellia oil, hydrolyzed proteins, silicones for conditioning and shine) is well-supported in cosmetic science literature.

Anecdote/Aggregated Sentiment - Based on reviews from independent platforms:

• Praise for Softness & Shine: "Made my bleached hair incredibly soft and shiny after just one use. It feels like silk!" - YesStyle review (2024-MM)
• Effective on Thick, Damaged Hair: "I have thick, wavy hair that gets frizzy easily. This mask is one of the few things that actually smooths it down and makes it manageable. The scent is lovely too." - Amazon customer review (2024-MM)
• Quick Results Noticed: "Even leaving it on for only a couple of minutes makes a noticeable difference in detangling and smoothness. Lives up to the 'instant' claim for feel, if not deep repair." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (thread 2024-MM)
• Fair Caveat (Build-up/Weight): "It works well but can feel a bit heavy if I use it too often or don't rinse thoroughly. My fine hair gets weighed down easily. Best as a weekly treat." - YesStyle review (2023-MM)

TSUBAKI is a Japanese haircare brand under the Shiseido umbrella, launched in 2006. Its philosophy centers around leveraging the power of Camellia Oil (Tsubaki oil), a traditional Japanese beauty ingredient known for centuries to nourish and beautify hair. The brand combines this heritage ingredient with Shiseido's advanced haircare science to create products that aim to bring out hair's "natural, healthy, and radiant beauty from its core." TSUBAKI often emphasizes achieving salon-quality results conveniently at home.

• Camellia Japonica Seed Oil (Tsubaki Oil): Oil extracted from the seeds of the Camellia flower, rich in fatty acids (oleic acid), used for moisturizing hair and skin.
• Royal Jelly Extract: A nutrient-rich secretion from honey bees, containing proteins, vitamins, and minerals, used in cosmetics for nourishment.
• Hydrolyzed Protein: Proteins (like soy or pearl) broken down into smaller fragments (amino acids, peptides) that can better penetrate the hair shaft to repair damage.
• Squalane: A stable, lightweight hydrocarbon derived from plants (like olives), mimicking natural skin/hair lipids for moisture without greasiness.
• Cuticle (Hair): The outermost protective layer of the hair shaft, composed of overlapping scales. Damage makes it rough (causing frizz/dullness); smoothing it enhances shine and manageability.
• CMC (Cell Membrane Complex): The lipid-rich 'glue' that holds hair cuticle cells together and connects the cuticle to the cortex. Repairing the CMC is key to restoring hair strength and preventing moisture loss.
• Dimethicone/Amodimethicone: Types of silicones used in haircare to coat the hair, providing slip, shine, heat protection, and frizz control.
• PAO (Period After Opening): The symbol (an open jar with a number like "12M") indicating how many months a product remains safe and effective after first opening.

At Adilsons, we're committed to bringing you the best of authentic K-Beauty and J-Beauty, carefully curated for quality and effectiveness. We guarantee that all our products, including this TSUBAKI mask, are 100% genuine, sourced directly from authorized channels. Your hair's health and your satisfaction are our priorities.

Is this mask suitable for color-treated hair?

Yes, it's generally safe and beneficial for color-treated hair as it helps restore moisture and smoothness often lost during coloring processes. It doesn't contain harsh sulfates that typically strip color.

Does it contain silicones?

Yes, it contains Dimethicone and Amodimethicone. Silicones help smooth the hair cuticle, reduce frizz, add shine, and provide heat protection. If you prefer silicone-free products, this mask would not be suitable.

Can I use it on my scalp?

It's generally recommended to apply from mid-lengths to ends, especially if you have fine or oily hair, as the rich formula might weigh down roots or make the scalp feel greasy faster. Focus on the areas needing the most repair.

How often should I use it?

1-2 times per week is typical for maintenance. If your hair is severely damaged, you might use it more often initially (e.g., every other wash) until hair condition improves, then reduce frequency.

What's the difference between this and the TSUBAKI Premium Moist & Repair Mask?

The Premium Repair Mask (this product, often in gold packaging) focuses on intensive repair for highly damaged hair. The Premium Moist & Repair (often in pink packaging) focuses more on deep hydration for dry, perhaps less severely damaged hair. Both are excellent, choose based on your primary need (damage vs. pure moisture).

Best For: Individuals with dry, damaged, frizzy, or chemically treated hair seeking immediate softness, smoothness, and shine, plus long-term repair.

Key Benefits:

• Delivers intensive moisture and repair for noticeable softness.
• Significantly smooths frizz and improves manageability, even in humidity.
• Enhances shine and leaves hair looking healthy.

Keep in Mind:

• Contains silicones (a pro for smoothing, but a con for those avoiding them).
• Can be heavy for very fine hair if overused or not rinsed well. Contains fragrance.
