You probably recognise it; the envious sentiments that surface when you see those beautiful healthy and shiny locks of other ladies passing by. Especially when you yourself are left with dry, coarse and frizzy hair. Of course, it is not a first that a nurturing and nourishing hair mask can change this phenomenon. Still, we want to take a moment to highlight some ingredients/hair masks that can give your hair a remarkable hair metamorphosis!
Hair mask, what exactly is it?
Yes, of course we all know what a hair mask is. You have them in all types, scents and textures. But why are hair masks so effective. What distinguishes a hair mask from a conditioner, for instance. A hair mask is a nourishing treatment for the hair. Our locks have to endure a lot: sun, salt seawater, sand, chlorinated water, rain, wind and here and there some chemicals that we or our hairdressers administer. The hair mask cares and nourishes hair intensively. A conditioner also does this, but less intensively. If you compare the two liquids, you will also immediately see that a conditioner is somewhat thinner and a hair mask, on the contrary, thick in texture. The hair mask contains a greater concentration of nutrients and less moisture than the conditioner. Your hair gets a protective layer (coat) from the hair mask, so to speak. So it can be beneficial to treat yourself to a lovely hair mask every now and then. Besides, it's a perfect time to schedule a little me-time , because that's important too! I say: hair mask, wine, book, music and enjoy yourself while giving your hair a big boost.
Nature in hair
There are 1001 brands of hair masks, all with different components and focus areas. One mask is better for colour retention and another puts more emphasis on repairing extremely damaged and dry hair. We want to highlight a few ingredients for their well-known restorative effects on damaged, dry and lifeless hair.
- Cloudberry/Blackberry: The beauty is in the berry, they say, and this is absolutely true with this blackberry. This particular berry contains a melange of nutrients that will take your hair to another level (carotenoids, essential lipids, phytosterol, vitamins A, C and E). This combination ensures that your hair is given a new lease of life. Cloudberry strengthens and restores your locks all over again.
- Macadamia oil: A lot of people in the beauty world consider this oil their new beauty love. For years, it has been touted for its extraordinary effects on hair, skin and overall health. This magical oil makes hair stronger, has natural SPF 6, prevents hair damage and moisturises dry hair.
- Argan oil: We all know Argan oil! You read about it in magazines, on blogs and more and more hairdressers swear by this natural beauty product. Its nickname is not just 'Moroccan gold'. Argan oil is a source of unusually high vitamin E and fatty acids. The vitamin E in it protects hair and restores your hair shine. The Omega-3 and Omega-9 fatty acids strengthen and repair the hair by providing the hair roots with important nutrients. This also helps you prevent split ends. The antioxidants in the oil also ensure supple, strong and radiant hair.
- Oatmeal: Oatmeal no longer has to be seen only as a healthy high-fibre breakfast. This cereal can also make our locks extremely happy. If growth is one of your hair goals, then you should definitely apply oatmeal in your beauty routine. This grain provides hair with elasticity and can help prevent hair breakage while combing. Thus, you will also maintain your hair growth in a healthy manner. Moreover, for those of us with an itchy scalp and dandruff, Oatmeal can also be the solution. It moisturises the skin and at the same time you exfoliate away dead cells.
- Honey: We may also name honey as a super ingredient for our locks. More and more manufacturers are incorporating this syrupy brown liquid into their hair products. As such, this is much nicer than having to mess with honey in your hair. Right? But now to the benefits of this ingredient that is good for so many things. One of the characteristics of honey is that it naturally attracts and retains moisture in the hair. This can have a positive effect if your hair is dry and coarse. Honey is also known for its antibacterial properties, even on the scalp it keeps bacteria from visiting. Furthermore, it also supports hair growth and combats dandruff and an itchy scalp.
- Flaxseed oil: Flaxseed oil features its rich amount of fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6). These fats nourish the hair follicles and thus stimulate hair growth. The oil is also anti-inflammatory, making it a good alternative to combat hair loss, dandruff and other scalp perils.
DIY hair masks vs ready-made
With the green hype these days, we can't ignore the fact that hair masks can also be homemade . Advantages are, of course, that you decide what to put in and what not. And you can decide the dosage of ingredients that are important for your hair. Personally, I'm not one of them because I don't like messing around and it saves me time in all sorts of areas (preparation, cleaning up, polishing etc.) by buying them ready-made. When my hair mask is about to run out, I always look forward to shopping for a new one. And besides the results, I also greatly look forward to the pleasant aroma the hair mask brings.
Maintaining effect of hair mask:
After a good hair mask, your hair shines again and you are usually happy because your locks are back on point . But we also know that this effect can ebb away after a few days. Of course, we want to prevent this as far as possible. Therefore, we have selected some products for you that you can use after the treatment to keep your hair healthy and shiny for longer.
