Hair masks are great to nourish dry, frizzy or damaged hair - particularly throughout the seasons where temperatures can rapidly change. We all know in summer that UV rays, saltwater, and chlorine can damage and dry out your hair, but did you know that central heating in the winter can also dry out your scalp?
Well that's where hair masks can be a huge benefit. Not only can they strengthen the hair, but in some cases can help care for your scalp as they are full of restorative ingredients.
Keep reading to find out our top recommended hair masks to try at home and how they can help revitalise your locks.
WHICH MASK IS RIGHT FOR MY HAIR?
Masks are more restorative than conditioners, and not all masks are the same. If you're not sure what hair mask is right for your hair type, your stylist can examine your hair during a consultation to help you identify the best mask for your hair and scalp needs.
You can also try before your buy by booking a relaxing treatment where a mask can be applied. You can then see whether this is suitable for your hair, and take it home with you after your appointment.
