Here are some hair treatments that I’ve been using that are going above and beyond that usual hair mask. A hair mask is great for extra TLC on damaged hair, but I don’t notice a real difference when I use some of them. They just seem like thicker conditioners without any real technology attached to them.
The treatments above actually do something to your hair.
Bumble and Bumble Bond-Building Repair Treatment: feels like a mask but actually has technology in it that repairs hair broken from colouring or bleaching. Leave it in for just 5 minutes and get nicer, more hydrated hair.
Soapbox Scalp Treatment has tea-tree oil in it so it’s great for itchy scalps.
L’Oreal Wonder Water is amazing. It coats the hair in something so that it dries shiny and soft. A straightening feels like a blowout, and a quick blowdry lasts longer. I love this stuff, and I would rebuy it. I knew it was good when it was sold out everywhere online but now it’s back in stock, and you can get it here. You need to put this in your hair for 8 seconds, which means that it works almost instantly. Use it every 2-3 shampoos, and definitely put it into your routine if you’re going to blow-dry your hair. $9.96 if you get it on Amazon, $12 at the grocery store, and $15 at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Amika Flash Instant Shine Mask is amazing, but kind of feels like a conditioning mask, not a shine mask or a repair product. I do love this and will continue using it, but it was over $30 and I’m not sure that’s worth it when the Wonder Water is less than $10.
What do you guys think? Have you been masking more than usual now that we are all at home?
