Shampoos, conditioners, and oils are not the only products that can give you healthy, hydrated hair. Hair specialists are now highlighting the benefits of hair masks, which they say can transform your hair care routine.
According to experts from luxury hair extension brand Roxy Hair, one of the primary benefits of using a hair mask is its ability to deeply hydrate your locks. They note that while conditioners are commonly used, they may not always provide the best results for maintaining hair health.
“Hair masks are excellent for strengthening the hair,” the specialists explain, adding that these products can reduce frizz and prevent split ends. For those not already incorporating a hair mask into their routine, they suggest trying it out on your next hair wash day.
Hair masks contain restorative ingredients and should be applied directly after shampooing for maximum effectiveness. To use, apply the product generously from the roots to the tips, making sure to gently massage it into your scalp.
For best results, leave the hair mask on for about three to five minutes before rinsing. For hair that is particularly dehydrated or damaged, leaving the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes can be beneficial. However, the experts caution against leaving a hair mask on overnight, as it can lead to greasy-looking hair the next day.
Incorporating a hair mask into your regular hair care routine could be the key to achieving stronger, more hydrated locks.
