How to choose a hair mask
Depending on what you want – to restore, moisturize or color your hair – there are 3 types of masks. Each has its own active ingredients.
Restorative hair masks are designed to deal with shortcomings (excessive dryness, split and exfoliating ends, peeling of the scalp). A suitable mask is recommended by a trichologist, but you can choose a soft therapeutic composition yourself. Look for keratin, collagen and beneficial amino acids in the composition.
Nutrient hair masks are always useful, they saturate from the inside and give a healthy look. The composition can be varied – the main thing is that herbal tinctures, fruit extracts and vitamins come first.
Masks with color effect keep hair color for a long time. Professional brands like Matrix and Estel have their own line of masks – they are best paired with shampoo, so the effect after staining lasts longer. When buying, consult a hairdresser. Knowing the palette of shades will allow you to choose the right mask – and prevent the mistake of Kisa Vorobyaninov from “12 Chairs”.
Regardless of the type of mask, vitamins and herbal extracts will be useful. They strengthen the hair structure. It is necessary to remember the type of hair: dry, thin oils will be required – it can be tea tree, olive extract, argan, shea (shea). For fatty ones, less concentrated formulas are needed: even unusual components are suitable – clay, mustard, potato starch. They control the work of the sebaceous glands – moderate use of the mask does not change the type, but allows you to remove oily sheen. Mixed hair types (such as oily at the roots but dry and dull at the ends) will love moisturizing. Pay attention to lactic acid, cucumber extract, aloe vera.
Expert reviews: make a mask yourself or buy?
We managed to talk to French beauty blogger Olga Larnodi. She has been studying beauty recipes for more than a year, preparing homemade cosmetics. Olga knows very well which hair masks to choose in order to look well-groomed.
Which is better – buying a hair mask or DIY?
What ingredient would you recommend looking for in cosmetic brands?
Almost all natural solid oils (cocoa, coconut, shea butter, avocado butter, almond butter) are very good for hair. If the mask contains keratin, extracts of rosemary, lemon (and most other herbs), then this mask is perfect.
