Sometimes shampoo and regular conditioning in our shower regime is just not enough. Our hair may need a boost and it’s easy to do with applying a hair mask.
How do you know which one to get? When you choose a hair mask, first determine what you want the hair mask to achieve. Generally speaking if you’re in the market for a hair mask, it’s to give your hair some much needed repair, however, hair masks can also remove product build up, intensely hydrate, add shine, add manageability, or regenerate color. Read on for some considerations to correct or create hair heaven.
Best for Color
Keeping hair color looking gorgeous can be challenging- fading especially in the summer but it doesn’t have to be. Consider Roux Color Refresh Mask (available in different colors), a simple one-time application that can revive flat color to fabulous. Is it sulfate-free you seek? Moroccan Intense Hydrating Mask (for thick to coarse hair) or the Weightless Moroccan Hydrating Mask (for fine hair) - this 5-minute mask formulated with antioxidant rich argan oil deeply infuses the hair shaft to improve the hair’s texture, shine, elasticity, and manageability.

Best for Dry and Damaged
Does your hair feel like hay? Perhaps it craves some serious deep conditioning. Consider L'anza Healing Moisture Moi Moi Masque with Blue Moisture Pearls which instantly release concentrated hydrators to moisturize dry strands. Hair super damaged? Consider L'oreal Absolut Repair Masque infused with lipids, ceramides, phyto-keratin, and lactic acid. Hair instantly feels restored and smooth. This mask can be used in place of your daily conditioner or 2-3x a week.
Best for Curly
