Ensure hair is freshly shampooed and free from excess water before applying the mask. Gently squeeze out any remaining water from your hair.

- Distribute: Gently massage the product into your hair to ensure even distribution.
- Wait: Allow the mask to sit on your hair for at least 60 seconds.
- Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly until the water runs clear. No need to use a conditioner afterward, as this mask provides sufficient hydration and smoothing.

5. Maintenance and Care
For best results, use the Amika Flash Instant Shine Mask 1-2 times per week or as needed to maintain hair shine and hydration. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. Troubleshooting
- Hair feels heavy or greasy: This may indicate too much product was used or not rinsed thoroughly. Reduce the amount of product applied and ensure complete rinsing.
- Lack of desired shine: Ensure the product is evenly distributed and left on for the full 60 seconds. For very dry or dull hair, consider using in conjunction with other Amika hydrating products.
- Product not dispensing: Check if the nozzle is fully twisted open. If the product is cold, warm the bottle slightly in your hands to improve flow.
