{"product_id":"maria-nila-mirror-gloss-masque","title":"Maria Nila Mirror Gloss Masque | Intensive Shine Treatment for Dull, Frizzy Hair","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA weekly shea butter and quinoa peptide treatment carrying genuine light-reflecting minerals, for hair that has gone dull and frizzy and needs more than a conditioner.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Moda Team Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the one product in Mirror Gloss where the shine claim is literal rather than optical, and it is the detail that makes it worth owning. Alongside the usual smoothing chemistry the ingredient list includes Synthetic Fluorphlogopite - a lab-grown mica - and CI 77891, titanium dioxide. Those are actual light-reflecting mineral particles, the same class of material used in illuminating skincare. Neither appears in the Mirror Gloss Shampoo, Conditioner or Rinse Treatment. So when people say the masque gives a visibly different result from the rest of the line, that is not suggestion - it is a genuinely different formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed properly it is a weekly step that sits alongside the conditioner rather than replacing it. Maria Nila's direction is to apply to towel-dried hair from mid-lengths to ends, leave five to ten minutes, rinse, and then finish with the Mirror Gloss Conditioner. The masque feeds and deposits; the conditioner does the final cuticle seal and detangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is rich. Dimethicone sits third, shea butter sixth, and that combination is excellent on medium, thick, coarse or colour-treated hair and too much for fine hair. Worth noting too that this version uses sunflower seed \u003cem\u003eextract\u003c\/em\u003e rather than the seed oil found in the shampoo and conditioner - a small difference, but it is what the ingredient list says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Moda Carries This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaria Nila is new to our shelves and a deliberate pick - Swedish, 100% vegan across every formula, free of animal ingredients and animal testing, B Corp certified, with CO₂-compensated packaging. We brought the brand in with our younger clients in mind and because the range is genuinely playful, and a mask with mica in it is a fair illustration of that. Our honest read is that this is the up-and-coming brand making the biggest impact in the professional market right now. In the interest of transparency: our team has not yet trained with Maria Nila, so this is a retail recommendation grounded in the formula rather than backbar experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Active Ingredient(s)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSynthetic Fluorphlogopite and Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891):\u003c\/strong\u003e Lab-grown mica and a white mineral pigment. These are genuine light-reflecting particles that deposit on the hair surface, and they appear in no other Mirror Gloss product. This is where the line's most visible shine result comes from.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sixth on the list. The occlusive that separates this from the conditioner, smoothing roughened cuticle scales on porous or coarse hair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolyzed Quinoa and Chia Seed Extract (Salvia Hispanica):\u003c\/strong\u003e Maria Nila's Fiber-Filling actives - peptide fragments that occupy micro-gaps in the cuticle so the surface reflects light evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimethicone and Dimethiconol:\u003c\/strong\u003e Third and seventeenth on the list, providing the slip and the continuous optical surface the mineral particles then sit on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModa Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse this one until the water runs completely clear, then check your hands. Because there are mineral reflectors in the formula, under-rinsing leaves a faint haze on the hair that reads as dullness or a slightly chalky cast in daylight - the exact opposite of what you bought it for. Run your fingers through a section under the water; if it still feels even slightly slippery, keep going. Mineral-containing treatments need noticeably more rinsing than a standard mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot the Right Fit If...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour hair is fine or easily weighed down. Dimethicone third plus shea butter sixth is a lot, and the Mirror Gloss Rinse Treatment delivers the same quinoa and chia actives in a weightless base. If your hair is genuinely damaged and breaking, shine is cosmetic - Structure Repair Masque addresses the structure. And if you are blonde needing tone rather than gloss, Sheer Silver Masque deposits violet pigment where this deposits none.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWash with Mirror Gloss Shampoo, then towel-dry until damp rather than dripping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply from mid-lengths to ends and leave five to ten minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse until the water runs completely clear, then follow with Mirror Gloss Conditioner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Maria Nila","offers":[{"title":"250 ml","offer_id":49911817109732,"sku":"MN3692","price":49.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/2831\/9677\/files\/PDPmirrorglossmask1.jpg?v=1789819470","url":"https:\/\/www.modasalon.ca\/fr\/products\/maria-nila-mirror-gloss-masque","provider":"Moda Salon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
