The excessive application of chemical agents in bleaching, hair colouring, and straightening can cause damage to the hair shaft, resulting in dryness, coarseness, fluffiness, and frizz. Frizzy hair signifies considerable damage that cannot be sufficiently remedied with standard hair care; hence, it requires additional keratin therapy treatment. Problems arise when university hair care curricula just offer hair mask techniques, whereas the salon industry uses keratin treatments to manage frizzy hair. Although employing different substances, hair mask treatments, and keratin treatments exhibit similar phases and techniques to sophisticated hair treatments. This study examines the implementation of hair mask instruction in universities using keratin treatment techniques in the salon industry. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of including hair care education (hair mask) using the keratin treatment method for frizzy hair in the salon industry.

Indonesian language proficiency is an important component of academic communication in higher education; however, differences in students’ abilities to use the language effectively in academic contexts are still frequently observed. One factor that is considered to influence students’ language competence is learning motivation, which encourages active engagement in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and Indonesian language proficiency among students at the Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan Institute, Binjai. The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. A total of 30 students were selected as research participants using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire and an Indonesian language proficiency test covering listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product–Moment correlation with the support of SPSS software. The descriptive results show that students have a relatively high level of learning motivation with a mean score of 79.80, while the mean score of Indonesian language proficiency reached 82.13, indicating good language competence. The correlation analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between learning motivation and Indonesian language proficiency (r = 0.621; p < 0.05). In addition, the analysis indicates that learning motivation contributes 38.6% to the variation in students’ language proficiency. These findings suggest that improving students’ learning motivation may support the development of their Indonesian language skills in academic settings.
