What is Nika Fairy Silk Masque?

Nika Fairy Silk Masque is the rinse-out hair mask of the NIKA Fairy Silk line that leaves dry, frizzy, weakened or chemically treated hair (colour, bleaching, smoothing) soft, supple, smooth and full of shine. Hydrolysed keratin, wheat germ protein, shea butter and jojoba oil give the lengths a richer, cushioned feel in 10-20 minutes. The 250 ml format is the home size, for home care and for the salon, once or twice a week after the Fairy Silk Shampoo.

Key ingredients

• Hydrolyzed Keratin and Sodium Cocoyl Collagen Amino Acids: protein derivatives that condition the hair and give it a smoother feel.
• Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Protein: a wheat protein that conditions the hair and gives it a fuller feel.
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: an emollient that cares for dry lengths and ends.
• Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: an emollient oil that softens the hair.
• Panthenol, Niacinamide and Tocopheryl Acetate: provitamin B5, vitamin B3 and a vitamin E derivative, care ingredients that help keep the hair supple.
• Cetrimonium Chloride: a conditioning agent that helps detangling after rinsing.

Results

After rinsing, the hair detangles easily and feels soft, supple and cushioned, from the mid-lengths to the ends. Once dry, the lengths look smoother and shinier, with less visible frizz.
