Brazil Protein Bio Lamination Conditioner Mask (300 ml) is the conditioning step of the Bio Lamination home-care pair, marked Professional, with BABAÇU OIL + COCOA NUT OIL on its front. Its sticker calls it the conditioner: after shampoo, apply, wait a few minutes, rinse, or use it to detangle. The wash before it is the Bio Lamination Shampoo 300 ml, and the line's salon service is the Bio Lamination 1000 ml.

What to expect

Hair that detangles more easily and feels softer after rinsing. That is what a rinse-out conditioning mask does, and it is all we promise on its behalf.

Who it is for

• The second step after the Bio Lamination Shampoo
• Hair that tangles after washing: the sticker offers it as a detangler
• Clients taking the Bio Lamination pair home after the salon service

Who it is not for

• Anyone looking for the salon treatment itself: that is the Bio Lamination 1000 ml, a separate service
• Anyone wanting a leave-in: the sticker says rinse

Professional tip

On thick or very dry lengths, apply section by section rather than in one handful, so the ends get as much as the outside layer. A mask that only coats the surface comes out patchy under the comb, and that is the fault we see most with this kind of product.

How to use

The EU sticker on the bottle prints the directions in English and Dutch. Method A is the English as printed; Method B is how we would work it at the basin.

Method A: the manufacturer's directions

1. After washing your hair with shampoo, apply the conditioner.
2. Wait a few minutes and rinse.
3. If you prefer, use it to detangle your hair, rinse thoroughly and style as usual.

Method B: the Brazilian method (salon practice)

Salon practice, not a step printed on the pack.

1. After the shampoo, squeeze the water out of the lengths.
2. Mid-lengths and ends first, little or nothing at the root.
3. Leave it for the few minutes in Method A.
4. Detangle while it is in, with a wide-tooth comb, ends first.
5. Rinse thoroughly and style as usual.

Where it fits in the Brazil Protein range

In its line, this mask sits beside the Bio Lamination Shampoo 300 ml; the two are sold together as the Bio Lamination Home Care Duo. Both bottles are also in the BTOX Mass Replenisher Salon & Home Care Kit and the Bio Lamination Salon & Home Care Kit. The other home-care lines say on their own fronts who they are for. The Supreme Repair Shampoo reads dry and chemically treated hair; the Nutrition Power Detox Conditioner reads mixed and oily hair; the Blond Vegan Conditioner reads blond, coloured and grey hair. The Day by Day Shampoo completes the Brazil Protein home care range, and everything is on the Brazil Protein brand page.
