Garnier Hair Masks

Do you have dry, coloured, static hair? No worries, there’s a mask for you (and for everyone else). The most common hair problems are:

• Dry Hair: It may come as no surprise that dry hair needs moisture. Dry hair feels frizzy and tangles easily, which usually leads to knots and some lengthy sessions with the brush. Go for moisturising and repairing masks.

• Oily hair: If your hair is greasy, you may be washing it too often. This causes the scalp to react by producing more sebum, which makes the hair feel heavy and dirty quickly. Try a scalp calming mask. Hair masks with clay can also help.

• Coloured hair: Hair that is treated with chemical dyes is also often dry and slightly broken. Moisturising hair masks are therefore always a good option. You can also buy colour bombs – these are hair masks with pigments that strengthen your hair colour. If your hair is bleached and you want to ensure cool tones in your hair, a silver mask is a good choice.

Hair masks should be left in the hair for anything from 30 seconds to 20 minutes. Please read the instructions before you purchase the mask. If you are a person who is not patient enough to wait 20 minutes while the mask works, you should buy one with a shorter processing time. Otherwise you will not use it. Have you accidentally bought one with too long a processing time? Use it anyway, but reduce the time that you leave it in your hair.

Are you perhaps thinking it's better to leave the hair mask on over the night? Read this guide with nine "do's and don'ts" first!
