60-Second Hair Masks

amika's Fast Hair Mask Promises to Rapidly Deliver Results

It's typically recommended for the average face or hair mask to be left on for about 10 to 15 minutes but a new wave of instant skincare and fast hair masks is emerging. amika's newest release, the Flash instant shine mask promises to transform dull hair in a matter of 60 seconds by rapidly softening and hydrating the hair and sealing the cuticle.

The "flash-acting mask" for all hair types—including colored hair—can be used in different ways to suit different needs. Those who have fine or oily hair will benefit from using the product in place of their regular conditioner, while others with thick or dry hair types will get the most out of Flash by using it as an after-conditioner treatment.
