Experiment with a hair mask
Hair masks can feel like a bit of an indulgence, but they’re actually pretty important if you’re struggling with limp or dry hair. These deep conditioning products are one of the few treatments that can actually penetrate the inner layers of your hair, which means that they’re also one of the few products that can dig down deep, and start reversing some of the damage that causes your hair to look limp, flat or dry.
Better still, hair masks generally take between 30 and 60 minutes to do their work, which means you’ve got a great excuse to kick back, and unwind while you nourish your hair.
Stylists generally recommend using a hair mask at least once per week but if your hair is looking super dry you might want to try once every three days instead. In terms of what you should be looking out for, replenishing proteins are a must-have, as it’s these ingredients that’ll be doing all the heavy lifting, and replenishing some of your hair’s natural softness. Lightweight hydrators like jojoba oil are also good, particularly if you want to put some of the shine back in your hair.
