Activated Charcoal Hair Masks

Monat's Charcoal Gelée Hair Masque Absorbs Impurities, Dirt & Grime

Monat created an activated charcoal hair mask that's beneficial for deeply cleaning the scalp yet leaving hair feeling soft and conditioned. The Charcoal Gelée Hair Masque is made with an activated charcoal blend that helps to lift dirt, grime and impurities from the scalp, all the while enhancing the hair's texture and manageability, as well as the efficacy of styling products. The hair product takes the form of a gel-cream that's packed with nourishing ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil and coconut oil.

The product is meant to be applied to clean, towel-dried hair and after it has been massaged into the scalp and left on for a few minutes, it can be rinsed off. The deeply cleansing hair mask makes a perfect addition to one's weekly hair routines.
