Boticário Match Ciência das Curvas Crespos Hydrating Hair Mask – 2x More Lipids, No-Poo Approved, for 4BC Coils – 12.34 oz (350 g)

Meet the Boticário Match Ciência das Curvas Crespos Hydrating Hair Mask (350 g / 12.34 oz), a rich, buttery treatment mask co-created and approved by women with tightly coiled 4BC hair. Made in Brazil by O Boticário, it is the deep-hydration step your wash day has been missing.

Brazilian hair care has long been the global reference for curls and coils, and this mask carries that heritage: it is built around a blend of Brazilian and tropical butters and seed oils, with 2x more lipid load than the brand's classic hydration base to help coils stay soft, supple and defined between washes.

It is 100% no-poo approved (free of sulfates, parabens, silicones and salt), vegan, and high-yield, so a small scoop goes a long way through dense, thirsty coils.

Key Features:

• Built for 4BC coils: co-created and approved by women with tightly coiled hair, so the texture and slip are calibrated for dense, shrink-prone curls.
• 2x more lipid load: a reinforced butter-and-oil complex helps maintain the hair fiber and keep coils feeling nourished rather than coated.
• Deep hydration step: designed for the hydration phase of the Brazilian "cronograma capilar" (hair schedule), used 2 to 3 times a week.
• Helps reduce breakage: supports the hair fiber and helps reduce the appearance of breakage and split, frizzy ends.
• 100% no-poo approved: no sulfates, no parabens, no silicones, no salt, so it fits low-poo and no-poo routines.
• Vegan and cruelty-free: a vegan formula from O Boticário, a certified cruelty-free Brazilian house.
• Generous 350 g jar: high-yield texture that spreads easily through long or high-density hair.

How To Use

1. Shampoo and rinse as usual, then gently squeeze out excess water.
2. Apply the mask along damp lengths, from mid-shaft to ends, avoiding the scalp.
3. Leave on for 3 to 5 minutes so the butters and oils can settle into the coils.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Repeat 2 to 3 times a week, or whenever your coils feel dry.

Expert Tip: Detangle with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb while the mask is still in the hair — the slip from the butters makes detangling far easier and helps you keep more length on wash day.

Ingredients (Highlights)

• Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Seed Butter & Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: two rich butters that soften coils and help seal moisture into the fiber.
• Hydrogenated Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Seed Oil: a lightweight African-tree seed oil that helps coils feel supple and less brittle.
• Calophyllum Inophyllum, Moringa Oleifera, Nigella Sativa & Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oils: the lipid quartet behind the reinforced oil load, helping smooth the cuticle and add natural shine.
• Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): a humectant that helps hold water inside the hair fiber for longer-lasting hydration.
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract: soothing aloe that supports softness and slip during detangling.
• Behentrimonium Methosulfate & Cetearyl Alcohol: the silicone-free conditioning base that gives the mask its slip and creamy body.

Please note: this formula contains Soybean Oil Methyl Esters, a soy-derived conditioning ingredient, which may matter to you if you avoid soy derivatives.
