The MasqueBar face mask sent to me was the black gold. It’s described as a peel off mask that has charcoal and 24 karat gold. The benefit of the mask is that the charcoal will draw out impurities and tighten…

I thought it was weird but it worked like magic to give curl separation and volume. After that I sat under a hooded dryer, then…
