Lustrous, soft, and bouncy. Just three adjectives that we want people to use when they describe our hair, not to mention three adjectives that mark the sign of healthy hair. But when was the last time you heard these adjectives to describe your own hair, or thought to yourself that your hair looked beautiful and healthy?
Just about everyone on the planet will deal with dry hair at some point in their lives, all genders equally. Some of us, however, will deal with it more often than others. This frequency is due to environmental factors (hot and dry climate), lifestyle factors (ex. swimming in chlorinated water or not protecting hair from the sun), and styling factors (frequent use of heat when styling or using hair dye).
Controlling what causes dry hair will help prevent it from occurring, but we can’t always turn our lives upside down for the sake of beautiful hair. Luckily, hair masks are here to rescue us!
Moroccan Oil: High Shine Gloss Depositing Mask
Bringing in some instant shine and immediate softness is this Argan Oil infused mask. Argan Oil has been known to add shine to hair, but also to protect it from damage. This mask also contains Amino Acids that will help strengthen the hair, specifically while detangling when a lot of damage and breakage happen. Hydrolyzed Quinoa adds protein, moisture, and that overall glossy finish. Feel like your hair needs some pampering and prep before the holidays? This product will not break the bank!
Olaplex No.8: Bond Intense Moisture Mask
Olaplex has become one of the go-to products for haircare in recent years, and it’s not mystery why. This sulfate-free mask (i.e. great for color treated hair) is known to bring intense moisture, reduce frizz, add volume shine. It contains Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate which repairs hair bonds and strengthens the hair. Many hair-fluencers swear by the Olaplex system, and this mask is among those included. No matter what situation your hair is currently in, chances are it will benefit from this lightweight mask!
Bumble & Bumble: Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Mask
Made with Moringa Oil and Pomegranate Seed Extract, Bumble & Bumble’s invisible oil mask leaves hair moisturized for up to 72 hours! Isn’t that a perfect winter-month companion? After all, it’s well known that the less frequently you wash your hair, the healthier and stronger it will become. Adding to the Moringa and Pomegranate is the brand’s 6-oil blend, which includes coconut oil, another well known haircare oil. Take note, however, that the mask is meant for use just once a week, so it does have to be used alongside other haircare products to ensure your hair stays healthy and beautiful.
Oribe: Gold Lust Transformative Mask
Moisturizing, strengthening, and UV PROTECTING, the Oribe Gold Lust mask is a powerhouse of haircare in one sleek little tube! Among its biggest benefits are being able to strengthen the hair cuticle and improve hair elasticity, which makes it perfect for those that style their hair often. Of course the UV or sun protection is a fantastic benefit as well because not only are you restoring your hair, but you’re protecting it further with each use!
Briogeo: Don’t Despair! Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask
Formulated with 97% naturally derived ingredients, this gluten-free, cruelty free, vegan mask contains rosehip oil, B-vitamins, and algae extract. Once a week is all you need for it to pack its powerful punch; strengthening damaged hair, preventing future damage, and maintaining moisture. Ideal for both coloured and frequently styled hair, it also prevents split-ends!
Easily breaking, frequently frizzy, dull, and lifeless? Don’t settle for less than lustrous, soft, and bouncy. Get those adjectives back in your life and test out these hair masks over the holidays!
