amika Hair Masks
Facemasks are often a stable item in our skincare routine, we all have a favourite to treat that tricky spot, dry or dull skin. Facemasks are part of our pampering routine, sleepovers are an excuse to slather our faces with brightly hued facemasks that promise clear, radiant and rejuvenated skin. As a result, facemasks are synonymous with self-care and relaxation. (My personal favourite is Thalgo Hyaluronic Mask 50ml for it's ability to leave my skin plump, clear and glowing)
Despite the prevalence of facemasks, hair masks are still a bit of a mystery, their powers rarely sort.
Let us break it down for you.
Hair masks are deep conditioners. Hair masks are to your limp, tired tresses what a deep-tissue massage is to your weary muscles. Essentially, hair masks are a super charged conditioner, a prescriptive hair treatment. They aim to will extra moisture and address any specific needs you have, giving you a different approach to fighting the fight against poor hair health and hair that needs repair, moisture or hydration.
One misconception about hair masks is that they are too heavy for oily hair – this is false. The dry ends of your strands actually contribute to the cycle of oil production and masks (applied mid through ends) will help bring better balance to your overall scalp and hair health, for beautiful tresses.
Hair Masks are a weekly luxury that will penetrate your hair cuticle to repair, restore, and revitalize your hair all while you do nothing. Once you’ve applied the mask to your locks – from roots to ends – your job is done and the mask gets to work in while your relax. Remember, hair masks are suitable for all hair types, you don’t have to worry about it weighing down your fine hair. The key is to apply it to your mid-length and ends where your hair has been with you the longest vs. your roots.
