Intensive Hair Mask "7 Oils," 200 ml

Apply the mask after shampooing while hair is still damp — not soaking wet — so the product can adhere to the fibre rather than slide off. Distribute a generous amount from mid-lengths to ends, then gently massage any remaining product into the scalp to let the Vital Hair Aktive+ complex reach the root area. Leave it on for 5–10 minutes; longer contact time does not increase efficacy and may make rinsing harder. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains. For most people, 1–2 applications per week is sufficient; daily use can weigh hair down and is unnecessary because the oils and active complex continue to work between washes. If you wash your hair more than three times a week, alternate the mask with a lightweight conditioner to avoid build-up.

The mask addresses two factors that make hair appear thinner: breakage along the shaft and a scalp environment that does not support optimal follicle function. The seven-oil blend smooths the cuticle and reinforces the hair's natural lipid mantle, which reduces mechanical breakage during brushing and styling — so fewer strands snap off mid-length. Meanwhile, Vital Hair Aktive+ is included to encourage microcirculation in the scalp; better blood flow means oxygen and nutrients reach the root zone more efficiently, creating conditions where hair can grow stronger from the outset. However, this is a cosmetic rinse-off product, not a medical treatment. If shedding is sudden, patchy, or accompanied by scalp inflammation, consult a dermatologist or trichologist before relying on any cosmetic product.

The formula is designed for scalp contact, but individual reactivity varies. If your scalp is currently red, itchy, flaking, or has open micro-wounds (for example after a chemical service), wait until the barrier has recovered before applying any intensive mask. Perform a patch test: apply a pea-sized amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm, leave for 10 minutes, rinse, and wait 24 hours. No reaction means you can proceed. During regular use, apply the mask primarily to lengths and ends; only massage a small amount into the scalp if it feels comfortable. Rinse thoroughly — residue left on a sensitive scalp can trigger irritation. If stinging or increased redness occurs, discontinue use and seek professional advice.

A standard conditioner deposits a thin cationic film that detangles and adds slip for the next wash cycle. This mask contains a significantly higher proportion of oils — seven distinct ones — chosen to penetrate the cuticle layers and replenish the lipid mantle that protects each strand from moisture loss. The Vital Hair Aktive+ complex is absent from ordinary conditioners; it targets the scalp rather than the fibre. Because of this richer composition, the mask has a thicker texture and requires a longer leave-on time (5–10 minutes) to work. It is therefore positioned as a weekly or bi-weekly intensive step, while a lightweight conditioner remains appropriate for the other wash days. Using the mask every wash can lead to build-up, especially on fine hair, making strands feel coated rather than supple.
