Think of your hair as an impressionable young child. You can treat it with kindness, teach it how to follow the rules and send it out into the world with high hopes it will stay on the right path while knowing the environment will have an impact.
In this case, instead of snotty kids on the playground, the environment is pollution, temperature changes, humidity and angry blow-dryers. Your once lovely hair, over time, becomes broken and frazzled. It's time to schedule an at-home spa day for your strands in the form of a precious oil or deep repair mask treatment.
Bring Back the Shine
Restorative oil treatments, like One 'N Only Argan Oil Treatment, can help relieve a dry scalp and lackluster hair. It may seem odd to put oil on your hair, when typically we strive for a non-oily look, but this is only temporary. Regular washing strips hair of its natural oils, so working a bit of this treatment into your hair can ease frizz and create brilliant shine.
Get that Salon Bounce
Masks aren't just for Halloween anymore (or for your face, for that matter). Try the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque on your hair.
Work a liberal amount through your wet strands, leave on for seven minutes and rinse off. The all-natural ingredients, including aloe and algae extract, will leave you with shiny, bouncy hair (once dry, of course). Plus, reviewers say the amazing scent is therapy enough.
Damage Undone
Split ends are no one's friend. But a hair mask, like Fekkai PrX Reparatives Intensive Fortifying Mask, can undo the damage from heat and overbrushing. Its combo of soy and protein can mend those broken ends and prevent future splits. Plus, the 15 minutes you need to leave the mask on is restorative in itself-sit back, pour a cup of coffee and relax!
Another damage-control hair mask to try is Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Overnight Hair Rescue. Yes, made with actual caviar extract (perhaps you'll have dreams of being in the sea), it also contains antioxidants, vitamin C and Seasilk, a blend of marine botanicals. All combined, it helps to revitalize dry, lifeless hair while you sleep. Plus, Alterna promises that the more you use it, the healthier your hair becomes.
