Shea Moisture Hair Masks

It’s like a face mask, but for your hair! A hair mask works to improve and boost your hair’s health. The difference between a hair mask and everyday conditioners is that its ingredients are usually more concentrated and the mask is left on your hair for a lot longer – anywhere between 20 minutes to a couple of hours!

It depends on the texture of your hair and the problem you’re trying to solve. There are masks for all kinds of problems, frizzy hair, dry scalp, split ends, dry hair, lack of shine and breakage – to name a few. As well as masks for kinky, curly and coily hair, straight hair, thin hair, thick hair – you name it and there’s a hair mask for it.

Everyone’s hair needs different things. Your hair’s texture, level of damage and problem areas determine what is a good hair mask for you. There’s a wide range of cheap and effective, luxurious and indulgent, specific and hard-working hair masks out there. We tested different hair masks to see which ones you should keep an eye out for.

While it isn’t necessarily bad to use a hair mask every day, it’s expensive and unnecessary. The average hair needs a mask about once a week. If you’ve really done a number on your hair and it’s crying out for some TLC, twice to three times a week should get your hair back to its pre-damaged state.
