Keratin Hair Mask Guide: Why 5 Minutes Restores Dry, Damaged Hair
If your hair is dry, frizzy, breaking at the ends, or recovering from colour — the fix is not more conditioner. It is protein, not moisture.
The Jason Makki Keratin Hair Mask is a weekly deep-conditioning protein treatment that restores damaged hair in five minutes. The 500ml professional bottle is sized for frequent users and salons — it lasts a daily user approximately 3 months at weekly use.
Protein vs. moisture: why most masks fail damaged hair
Hair needs two things: moisture (water) and protein (keratin). Most masks on the market are 90% moisture, 10% protein. That is why they feel good after one wash but your hair breaks the same way next week. Damaged hair has holes in the cuticle where protein should be. Protein masks fill the gaps. Moisture masks just slide over the surface.
The Jason Makki Keratin Mask is a protein mask with moisturising support — hydrolyzed keratin as the active, argan oil and caviar extract as the moisture base.
Who it is for
- Dry, brittle, or frizzy hair
- Colour-treated, bleached, or chemically straightened hair
- Hair recovering from heat damage
- Anyone maintaining a keratin treatment — extends the smoothing results by months
Key ingredients and what each does
- Hydrolyzed keratin: repairs the damaged cuticle, fills protein gaps
- Caviar extract: rich in proteins and omega-3, restores elasticity
- Argan oil: deep moisturiser, tames frizz, adds shine
- Biotin: strengthens the hair shaft from within, reduces breakage

How to use the keratin mask for maximum results
- Shampoo with the Jason Makki Keratin Shampoo. Towel dry.
- Apply a generous amount from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid the scalp — the mask is for the hair shaft, not the roots.
- Leave for 5–10 minutes (longer for very damaged hair).
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water. Cool water seals the cuticle closed with the keratin inside.
- Style as usual.
Intensive treatment protocol: apply the mask, cover with a warm damp towel, and leave for 30 minutes. For very damaged hair after a bad colour or bleach.
How often should you use it?
- Normal maintenance: once a week
- After a keratin treatment: once a week to extend results
- Very damaged hair: twice a week for the first month, then weekly
- Fine hair: once every 10 days (protein can weigh down very fine hair if overused)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I leave it on overnight?
Not recommended. 5–30 minutes is the optimal window. Longer does not improve results and can weigh down fine hair.
Is it safe after a keratin treatment?
Yes. It is specifically formulated to extend keratin smoothing results.
Can I use it as a leave-in conditioner?
No. This is a rinse-out protein mask. For leave-in use, see the Jason Makki 3-in-1 Hair Styling Cream.
Why 500ml instead of 250ml?
Professional sizing. Lower per-ml cost for daily users and salons. If you prefer a smaller bottle for travel, the keratin mask also comes in the 250ml Keratin Treatment Bundle as Step 3.
