What it is

This mask is the intensive, weekly treatment step of the Silk Express home-care routine. Built on the exclusive Tanino Blend (plant tannins, guarana, silk protein and grape seed oil) together with a shine-and-smoothing silicone complex, it deeply conditions the hair, helps balance its pH and leaves a mirror-like shine with smoother, more aligned strands. Used after washing, it supports the smoothness a salon smoothing or taninoplastia service leaves behind, keeping hair glossy, soft and easy to manage between professional visits.

Key ingredients

Plant tannins (tannic acid): the heart of the Tanino Blend, helping condition the hair and support its smoothness
Guarana seed extract: an antioxidant-rich Amazonian botanical that helps invigorate the hair
Silk protein: helps support moisture, softness and a silky surface feel
Grape seed oil: a lightweight, antioxidant-rich oil that supports softness and shine
Shine-and-smoothing complex (dimethicone, amodimethicone, phenyl trimethicone): coats the strand for mirror shine, slip and a smoother surface
Tara gum and maltodextrin: natural botanic components that round out the Tanino Blend

Together they give the mask its conditioning, high-gloss character, the signature of the Silk Express home-care line.

What you can expect

Used once or twice a week, the mask leaves hair intensely conditioned, glossy and smooth, with a mirror-like shine, calmer frizz and a more aligned surface, without heaviness once rinsed. It will not straighten hair on its own, that comes from the salon treatment, but it helps your existing results stay soft, smooth and shiny for longer.

Who it is for

Weekly intensive care: anyone who wants a deep shine-and-repair step in their Silk Express routine
Dull or dry hair: those who want a mirror shine and rich conditioning
Post-treatment maintenance: those keeping a Brazilian smoothing or taninoplastia result glossy between salon visits
Frizz-prone hair: those who want a smoother, more aligned surface

Who it is not for

Anyone following a silicone-free or curly-girl routine: this mask is silicone-based for its mirror shine
Fragrance-sensitive users: the formula contains fragrance allergens (including hexyl cinnamal, citral, coumarin, geraniol, linalool)
Anyone wanting a leave-in product: this is a rinse-out mask; the Silk Express Leave-In suits leave-in use
Anyone expecting it to straighten hair: smoothing comes from the salon treatment, not the mask

Professional recommendation

Cleanse first with the Nutritive Shampoo, apply the mask once or twice a week, then finish with the Tanino Blend Serum Oil on the lengths
On the days you are not using the mask, the Nutritive Conditioner is the lighter everyday step
Leave the mask on for the full five minutes for maximum shine, then rinse thoroughly

Apply the mask to damp hair from roots to ends, massaging gently through the strands.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Silk Express Ultra-Gloss Mask and what does it do?

It is the intensive shine-and-repair step of the Silk Express home-care routine, built on the Tanino Blend of plant tannins, guarana, silk protein and grape seed oil. Used after washing, it deeply conditions the lengths and ends for a mirror-like shine and smoother, more aligned strands, and helps balance the hair's pH.

What is the difference between the mask and the conditioner, and do I use both?

The conditioner is the everyday step that detangles and smooths at each wash, while the mask is a richer, weekly treatment for extra shine and repair. You can use both: condition on regular wash days, and swap in or follow with the mask once or twice a week for an intensive boost.

How often should I use it and how do I apply it?

Use it once or twice a week. Apply to damp, washed hair from roots to ends, massage it gently through the strands, leave it on for five minutes and then rinse thoroughly with water. For best results, finish with the Silk Express Serum on the lengths for added shine and frizz control.

Will it help maintain my Brazilian smoothing between salon visits?

Yes. Used regularly, the mask helps keep the smoothness and shine of a salon smoothing or taninoplastia result looking their best between visits. It conditions and adds gloss but does not straighten the hair on its own, that effect comes from the professional treatment, while the mask helps your existing results last and stay soft.

Does the mask contain silicones?

Yes. The formula uses a blend of silicones such as dimethicone and amodimethicone, which coat the strand for the mirror shine, slip and smoothness the mask is known for. They rinse and wash out normally, but if you follow a silicone-free or curly-girl routine, this mask will not suit that approach.

What do the Tanino Blend actives do?

The Tanino Blend brings together plant tannins, guarana seed extract, silk protein and grape seed oil. These Brazilian botanic actives help nourish the hair, support softness and a smoother surface, and add shine, giving the mask its conditioning, glossy character alongside the smoothing silicone complex.
