How long should these masks be left on before washing out?
Hi Shelby,
You’d need to put on these masks at least for 20 to 30 minutes before washing off.
I am getting ready to try the coconut oil, honey and aleo gel. I have always had straight as a stick hair. I got sick last year and lost 95% of my hair. Well, it has grown back in curly. I am 60 and am struggling learning how to take care of curly hair. It is dry and stays frizzy all the time, no matter what I do. So, we will see how this works.
