Balea Professional Aqua Hyaluron 3in1 Hair Mask, 150 ml
This mask is intended for dry, moisture-needing hair. Its current formula includes glycerin, panthenol, aloe-vera leaf powder and sodium hyaluronate. Its main practical advantage is three distinct uses.
How to use Aqua Hyaluron
- As a mask: Apply to wet hair, leave for 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
- As a leave-in: Massage a small amount into towel-dried or dry hair and do not rinse.
- Overnight: Leave in the lengths overnight and wash out with shampoo the next day.
Balea Professional Plex Care 2in1 Hair Mask, 250 ml
Plex Care 2in1 is positioned for chemically treated and damaged hair. The current formula contains a triple-protein complex and amino acids. It is used either before washing or afterwards as a traditional rinse-out mask.
How to use Plex Care
- Pre-wash: Massage into towel-dried hair, leave for at least 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly, then use shampoo and conditioner as usual.
- As a mask: Apply to wet hair after shampooing, leave for about 3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Plex Care is not a leave-in. Both verified methods require thorough rinsing.
Which hair mask suits you?
- Choose Aqua Hyaluron when dryness and flexible use are your main priorities.
- Choose Plex Care for chemically treated or damaged hair when you want a rinse-out pre- or post-wash treatment.
- Choose by current hair condition, not by one ingredient alone. Hair texture, colouring, styling and amount used affect the result.
