What is Nika Fairy Silk Masque 500?

Nika Fairy Silk Masque 500 is the salon-size rinse-out mask of the NIKA Fairy Silk line, an intensive backbar treatment that leaves dry, frizzy-looking, weakened or chemically treated hair 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. About 25 ml per service gives around 20 services per 500 ml, alternating with the Fairy Silk Deep Conditioner.

Key ingredients

• Hydrolyzed Keratin and Sodium Cocoyl Collagen Amino Acids: protein derivatives that condition the hair and give it a smoother, fuller feel.
• Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Protein: a wheat protein that gives the lengths body and a cared-for feel.
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: a rich emollient that softens dry lengths and ends.
• Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: a light oil that adds suppleness and shine.
• Panthenol, Niacinamide and Tocopheryl Acetate: provitamin B5, vitamin B3 and a vitamin E derivative that help keep the hair supple and pleasant to the touch.

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, and the blow-dry gives a polished, even finish.
