Moisturizing hair mask

Every girl dreams of smooth, strong and well-groomed hair. Someone prefers straight curls, someone - the waves, and someone walks on dyeing, lamination and perm in the hope that these procedures will give the hair a sleek look and shine. However, this is not completely true. It is impossible to restore your curls without masks and care products. Hair also needs nourishment and hydration, because it is the amount of water in the follicles that determines the strength, brilliance and softness of each hair.

In fact, any type of hair needs moisturizing masks, be it normal, oily or dry, as any hair loses moisture over time and stops accumulating nutrients. This may be due to bad weather, poor diet, sleep patterns, and may also be associated with frequent use of a hair dryer, curling or ironing, constant dyeing or lightening (which is especially important for blondes). Even inaccurate combing (for example, hair that has not yet dried up) or excessive hair pulling plays a role. Because of this, the hair loses its luster and volume, visually it becomes less, it starts to fall, it becomes drier, rougher, tougher, cut through the entire length.

And it would seem, what a trifle - the moisture in the hair. Surely many people think that we are talking about the water with which we wash our heads - but no, this is by no means the case; Add here also the fact that the water in the bathroom is often hard and chlorinated. We are talking about the nutrition of the hair follicle, due to which the water balance is preserved. Without moisturizers, including masks, real hair care is impossible. Yes, preference should be given precisely to homemade or shop-style masks, as the shampoo does not last long on your head. These masks are usually marked "for softness or for shine.

The closer to the beginning the ingredient is on the list, the greater its content in the product. Pay attention to natural cosmetics, but remember that you will get an instant WOW effect only from a product with silicones. The main thing is not to overdo it with them.

There are several types of moisturizing masks, which are determined by the level of moisture penetration into the hair structure.

Usually, moisturizing masks with thermal protection or protection from bad weather act according to this principle. Suitable for dyed or bleached hair, not bad for not completely "dead" tips. Means usually contain silicones.
2. Internal. It fights dry and brittle hair at the cellular level, saturates with moisture, as it attracts and holds molecules. This category includes masks for deep moisturizing, restoring.

If the hair lacks moisture or nutrition, the first solution that occurs in the head is to buy a specialized mask in the store.

Moisturizing mask "Pro Series 1 minute" from Wella really corresponds to its price. Her rating is one of the highest, 4.7, and reviews are full of enthusiastic headlines.

Reanimates the curls after staining and frequent styling, professional protection against cross-section and breakage. The consistency is creamy and light, the hair does not pollute, on the contrary, it gives volume and pleasant pomp that the owners of thin and dry hair will especially appreciate.

But the mask from Faberlic for intensive moisturizing of the “Deep Aqua” series of the “Expert” series didn’t please the customers - the rating is only 3.3, Yes, and reviews can not be called positive. It moisturizes her C grade, as if the ladies did not dodge her use - for two or three minutes, as a balm, or fifteen to twenty. The tool is compared with a weak balm. There is no gloss, especially softness too. Perhaps it is impossible to recommend a mask - there is a better one.
