After bleaching it turns dry and porous, after daily straightening it snaps at the ends, and sometimes it simply frizzes and tangles without being badly damaged at all. That difference decides which mask will work. Xiaomoxuan makes two \u2013 Collagen and Silky Smooth with tea tree \u2013 and below we explain how to choose between them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Why hair gets damaged<\/h2>\n<p>The outer layer of each hair, the cuticle, is made of tiny overlapping scales. While they lie flat, hair looks smooth and shiny and holds on to moisture longer. Once the scales lift, hair dries out faster, tangles, breaks at the ends and loses its shine.<\/p>\n<p>The most common causes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heat styling<\/strong> \u2013 using a hairdryer, straightener or curling iron every day gradually dries out the lengths<\/li>\n<li><strong>Colouring and bleaching<\/strong> \u2013 chemical treatments lift the cuticle and leave hair porous<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mechanical damage<\/strong> \u2013 tight hair ties, brushing wet hair, friction against the pillow<\/li>\n<li><strong>Environment<\/strong> \u2013 sun, chlorinated water and sea water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A conditioner smooths the surface of the hair in a minute or two after shampooing. A mask has a richer texture and stays on longer, so the effect is more noticeable: hair feels softer, detangles more easily and frizzes less. Used regularly, it gives a clearer result than a single application.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Which mask to choose: a quick test<\/h2>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xiaomoxuan.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/typy-poshkodzhennya-volossya-porivnyannya-en.webp\" alt=\"Four common hair concerns: brittle hair, oily roots and dry ends, colour-treated hair and fine hair\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dry, porous, brittle, straw-like hair after colouring or bleaching<\/strong> \u2192 Collagen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generally healthy hair that frizzes, tangles and has lost its shine<\/strong> \u2192 Silky Smooth<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fine hair that gets weighed down easily<\/strong> \u2192 Silky Smooth<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thick, coarse or heavily damaged lengths<\/strong> \u2192 Collagen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oily roots and dry lengths<\/strong> \u2192 Silky Smooth shampoo plus Collagen mask on the lengths only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2>Xiaomoxuan Collagen Hair Mask<\/h2>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xiaomoxuan.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/maska-kolagen-ta-chajne-derevo-xiaomoxuan.webp\" alt=\"Xiaomoxuan Collagen hair mask and Silky Smooth tea tree hair mask\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More intensive care for hair where the damage is already visible: after bleaching, frequent colouring, regular blow-drying and straightening.

Apply them 5\u201310 cm from the roots and focus on dry and damaged areas.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-details\">\n<summary>What\u2019s the difference between a hair mask and a conditioner?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">Conditioner is used after every wash and smooths hair in a minute or two. A mask has a richer texture, stays on longer and gives deeper conditioning, which is why it\u2019s used 1\u20133 times a week.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-details\">\n<summary>Can I alternate the Collagen and Silky Smooth masks?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">Yes. For example, use Collagen after one wash for more intensive care of damaged lengths, and Silky Smooth after the next for softness and smoothness. If you wash your hair often, you don\u2019t need a mask every time: 1\u20132 times a week, alternating between them, is enough.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-details\">\n<summary>Which mask should I choose for oily roots and dry ends?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">A combination works best: Silky Smooth shampoo for gentle cleansing and the Collagen mask on the lengths and ends only, keeping it away from the roots.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-details\">\n<summary>Which mask is best for fine hair?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">Usually Silky Smooth: it doesn\u2019t weigh hair down and keeps volume. If your fine hair is very dry or bleached, you can use Collagen, but in a smaller amount and on the lengths only.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-details\">\n<summary>When will I see results?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"faq-answer\">You\u2019ll feel softer hair and easier detangling after the first use.
