From Clare
Sometimes your daily routine isn’t enough. If your hair feels dry despite conditioning, if the ends are rough or splitting, if there’s a dullness that won’t lift — that’s your hair telling you it needs something deeper. Not a different shampoo. Not more product. A proper, focused treatment that gives it time to absorb what it’s been missing.
This is the mask I recommend when hair has been through it — colour damage, heat styling, environmental stress, or simply the cumulative effect of everyday life on hair that hasn’t had a deep treatment in too long. Hydrolyzed keratin and wheat proteins work to rebuild the internal structure that’s been weakened, while organic shea butter and avocado oil deliver the kind of intense nourishment that a daily conditioner can’t match. It’s a 170ml treatment, not a 400ml shampoo — because you’re using it once a week, not every day.
In my practice in Dublin and London, I prescribe this as part of almost every client’s routine once their foundation is right. The difference after even one use is visible — but the real transformation happens over four to six weeks of consistent weekly use. That’s when hair starts to feel genuinely different, not just temporarily softer.
This is for you if
- Your hair feels dry, brittle, or straw-like despite regular conditioning
- You’ve noticed more breakage, split ends, or rough texture than usual
- Your hair has been through colour treatments, heat styling, or chemical processing
- You want to restore softness, strength, and shine that daily products can’t deliver
- Your ends feel thin, damaged, or lifeless
- You haven’t used a deep treatment in months — or ever
Consider instead if
- Your hair is already in good condition and just needs daily moisture — our Moisturising Conditioner will maintain what you have without the intensity
- Your primary concern is your scalp rather than your hair — start with Sensitive Scalp Shampoo to address the foundation first
- You want lightweight daily protection rather than a weekly deep treatment — our Keratin Glow Mist delivers that without weight
- Your hair is fine and you’re worried about heaviness — this mask is rich by design, so use it on mid-lengths and ends only, or consider the Colour Saviour Conditioner for lighter nourishment
What’s Inside
Six active ingredients working together to rebuild, nourish, and protect — chosen for damaged hair that needs real repair, not just surface smoothing.
Hydrolyzed Keratin
PROTEIN COMPLEX
The same protein your hair is naturally made from, broken down to a size that can penetrate the hair shaft. Helps rebuild internal structure weakened by damage, improving strength, elasticity, and resistance to future breakage.
Shea Butter
ORGANIC
Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E. Delivers intense moisture to parched hair without coating it in silicone. Softens rough texture, smooths the cuticle, and helps seal split ends — the heavy-lifting moisturiser in this formula.
Vitamin E
TOCOPHEROL
A natural antioxidant that helps protect hair from environmental damage and oxidative stress. Supports the repair process by preventing further deterioration while the other ingredients work to rebuild.
Sodium PCA
NATURAL MOISTURISER
Part of the hair’s own natural moisturising factor. Attracts and binds water to the hair fibre, improving hydration from within rather than just sitting on the surface. The reason this mask feels different from a standard conditioner.
Your Ritual
After shampooing, gently squeeze out excess water. Apply generously to mid-lengths and ends — this is where damage concentrates and where the mask does its deepest work. Avoid the roots and scalp unless Clare has specifically recommended otherwise.
Leave on for five to ten minutes. Not two. Not a quick rinse-through. The keratin and proteins need time to absorb into the hair shaft, and the shea butter needs warmth to soften and penetrate. If you have time, wrap your hair in a warm towel — the heat opens the cuticle and lets the formula work harder.
Use once a week. Twice if your hair is severely damaged or you’ve just had colour or chemical treatment. This replaces your conditioner on treatment days — don’t use both. On the days you’re not masking, return to your regular conditioner on the ends. If you’re noticing more hair in your brush than usual, that’s worth paying attention to — breakage and shedding are different things, and this mask addresses the breakage side.
The Experience
Elegant white florals with the creamy warmth of tuberose, settling into something softly fruity. Rich and considered — like the mask itself, it feels like a treatment rather than a product. The kind of fragrance that makes five minutes in a towel feel like an indulgence.
Build your Routine
This mask works with any shampoo in the HHE range. Use it once a week after shampooing, in place of your usual conditioner. Here are the combinations Clare recommends most often.
Recommended Shampoo Pairings
Moisturising Shampoo
The most common pairing. Moisturising Shampoo cleanses gently, then the mask delivers the deep repair. Together, they address dryness from both sides.
Colour Saviour Shampoo
If your damage is colour-related, pair with Colour Saviour to protect the colour while the mask repairs the structure underneath.
Reset Shampoo
If your scalp is reactive but your hair still needs intensive repair, Reset keeps the scalp calm while the mask works on the lengths.
Enhance with Essentials
Keratin Glow Mist
After masking, a light mist on towel-dried hair seals the work the mask has done and adds daily protection between treatments. The perfect finishing step. €9.25
Rosemary Strength Oil
For deeper scalp and hair nourishment, add a weekly oil treatment before shampooing. Apply the oil, leave for 15 minutes, then shampoo and mask. Double the repair. €7.90

Some clients use this mask every week as a permanent part of their routine. Others bring it in intensively for a month after colour or heat damage, then reduce to fortnightly as their hair recovers. Both approaches work — the mask adapts to where your hair is right now, and your frequency should move with it.
