What is a Hair Mask?
It is a treatment that works towards healing your damaged hair and boosting its health. They are usually enriched with natural oils and butter in heavier concentrations than a regular conditioner. You can also leave hair masks for an extended period of time compared to a conditioner – anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours.
What are the Benefits of a Hair Mask?
Hair masks come with many benefits; however, these advantages can vary from person to person and also depend on the ingredients. To speak generally, the best hair masks offer these benefits:
- Shinier and softer hair
- Added moisture
- Reduced hair damage
- Controlled frizz
- Healthier scalp
- Stronger hair
- Reduced environmental and product damage
How often should you Apply a Hair Mask?
This entirely depends on how damaged your hair is. For most people, once a week suffices. However, if you use styling products and heat more often, then you would have to use the hair mask on a more regular basis. But, please beware, over-use of a hair mask can result in dull, limp and oily hair.
What Type of Hair Mask do you Need?
The hair mask you need totally depends on your hair or your scalp type. If you have dry hair, you will require intense or stronger hydration compared to others; whereas if you have oily hair or thin hair, you will need to be treated with a mask that has lighter yet nourishing ingredients. If your hair is colour or chemically-treated, you will need to use a chemical-free shampoo followed by a mask that is specially formulated for coloured or chemically-treated hair.
