Using a professional Insight mask applied to clean, damp hair, it's ideal as a stand-alone refresh or as an add-on to a cut or blow-dry at Timba in Cardiff. ## What to Expect The treatment is simple and quick, designed to slot easily into a normal salon visit. - Hair is shampooed, then the **Insight mask** is applied evenly to damp hair - The mask is left to process for around **5 to 10 minutes** - It's rinsed thoroughly, leaving the total appointment at roughly **15 minutes** - Hair is then dried and styled as normal, with no downtime afterwards ## Who It Suits This express mask works well for a range of hair types and concerns, and your stylist can choose the right formula for your needs. - Dry, dull or frizzy hair looking for a **softness and shine** boost - Damaged or brittle hair benefiting from **repair-focused** formulas rich in fatty acids and vitamins - Colour-treated hair wanting extra conditioning support - Anyone wanting a **quick treatment** without a lengthy salon visit Fine or easily weighed-down hair may need lighter application, particularly near the roots, which your stylist can adjust during the service. ## Results and Aftercare Benefits are noticeable straight away, though a single express treatment gives partly temporary results. - Expect **smoother, more detangled hair** with added shine and reduced frizz immediately after treatment - For deeper, cumulative repair, **regular treatments** over time are recommended - Standard aftercare applies: gentle shampooing, a suitable conditioner, and reduced heat or chemical stress helps results last longer - The mask **won't reverse** chemical services like colouring or bleaching, but can help hair cope better with them ## Booking with Timba The Express Insight Treatment Mask pairs naturally with other services on the day, whether that's a cut with one of our stylists or a colour appointment. Our team, including senior stylists and colour specialists, can recommend the most suitable Insight mask for your hair during your visit.

The full service takes around 15 minutes, including application, a 5 to 10 minute processing time, and rinsing. How much does it cost? The Express Insight Treatment Mask costs £10 at Timba. Is the mask applied to wet or dry hair? It's applied to clean, damp hair after shampooing, then rinsed out before drying and styling. Will one treatment fully repair damaged hair? A single express treatment gives immediate cosmetic benefits like softness and shine, but for deeper, cumulative repair of very damaged hair, regular treatments over time are recommended. Can I add this to my usual cut or colour appointment? Yes, the 15-minute treatment is designed to fit easily alongside a cut, blow-dry or colour service. Does the mask work for all hair types? Most hair types can benefit, though fine hair may need lighter application, particularly at the roots, to avoid feeling weighed down. Your stylist can adjust this during the service. Will it help with colour-treated hair? The mask can improve softness and manageability and offer some conditioning support for coloured hair, though it won't reverse or alter chemical colour services. Is there any downtime or aftercare needed? There's no downtime as it's a rinse-off treatment. Aftercare is simply gentle shampooing, suitable conditioner, and reducing heat or chemical stress where possible to help results last.
