This study evaluates the effects of the Bounce Curl conditioning mask on hair health, breakage, hydration, and detangling. The trial is conducted as a single-arm, unblinded, virtual study in which all 40 enrolled participants use the test product twice per week over a one-week period. Participants complete self-reported questionnaires at Baseline, after the first use, and at the end of Week 1.
