Key Ingredients + Benefits
Shea Butter - Conditions and softens for glossy soft hair
Green Tea Extract and Ginger Root - Improves scalp health and strengthens dry hair

Hair steaming is a technique that’s been used for years in hair salons. Essentially, you coat your hair in nourishing oils, apply heat (that’s where the ginormo retro heater comes in) and leave your hair to absorb all the vapours while the machine puffs behind you like a merry old smoker.

Steaming is the process of using moist heat to help open up the hair follicle, lift the cuticle on the hair shaft and allow conditioner and treatments to penetrate each strand to allow better absorption of moisture. It is one of the best things you can do to pamper your hair, as the heat aids in hydrating dry hair leaving your parched hair happy. And now, you can do it at the comfort of your own home with individually packed sheets that come with heat caps.

I won a sheet of FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask together with other products from a giveaway hosted by Sergei Shumilin on Instagram. Since I have long hair, such hair masks are much welcomed for glossy and moisturising locks, especially since I seldom do hair treatments after each hair colouring job nowadays.

Based in USA, FaceTory boasts of innovative, affordable and reliable Kbeauty products that are approachable and functional.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask comes in a bright and colourful packaging that would be sure to add a dose of colour and fun to your bathroom shelf.

I can't describe the scent too well, but it reminded me of those hair treatment scents in hair salons. Not overpowering but a nice-to-have scent that lingered on the hair for awhile.

I actually spent some time searching for the opening of the white plastic cap when in fact, one just need to "tear" open the cap and slip all the hair in. The white creamy contents ( which isn't alot ) are found within the cap to condition the hair through heat.

How To Use 
1. After shampooing, gently squeeze out excess water from your hair.
2. Remove the hair mask from the package and gently separate by tugging on the two flaps of the mask.
3. Place the mask over your hair, adjusting to your head by tightening the sticker link strap. Make sure the sticker comes to the front of your head.
4. Lightly massage your hair from the outside of the cap to make sure the nutrients are thoroughly absorbed into the hair.
5. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
Note: This hair mask has a slight steaming effect, so don’t be alarmed if it feels warm!

Performance and Ingredients

Sulfate-Free, Paraben-Free and Animal Cruelty Free, FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask worked the same way as Yuchoo By Me Steam Hair Mask where the cap is said to retain both the heat and moisture of freshly washed hair to lock in the ingredients, so as to deliver nutrients to the hair to instantly strengthen and nourish damaged hair.

After shampoo-ing the hair, I pushed in all the towel-dried hair to be within the cap, use the sticker to seal up the cap and followed the instruction to wait for 15 minutes. It is recommended to massage the hair with the cap but as the adhesive isn't too sticky so any movement may shift the whole cap position and loosen the sticker, so I refrained from doing it.

The heat cap emits warmth but isn't hot at all. I still have to touch the cap several times to ensure that its "working". :P

After 15 minutes, its time to rinse off the hair mask, however, I don't feel the difference on hair until it dried and I can instantly felt that my hair was soft, smooth and tangle-free. The following day, my hair still felt soft and smooth even during shampoo-ing.

In terms of ingredients, FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask contains Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Olive Oil to condition and soften unruly, tangled hair. Ginger Root Extract and Green Tea Extract helps to improve scalp health and moisturize dry hair.

Conclusion

To conclude, FaceTory Perfectly You Steaming Hair Mask is an effective hair treatment product for soft, smooth and tangle-free tresses. However, I do wish that the white creamy contents can be much more for long and thick tresses like mine!

The individual packs are so travel-friendly that you can bring them wherever you go, for softer hair immediately - on a staycation, on a cruise or overseas trip! I wouldn't mind repurchasing them!
