10 restorative masks for different hair types

Hair restoration after summer is a mandatory stage in preparation for autumn. After all, for three months the strands were constantly exposed to the sun and, for some lucky ones, even salt water. Therefore, they now need additional nutrition and fluid intake during the transition period. That’s why it’s time to include the restorative mask in your care and use it at least once a week. We have compiled a rating of the best masks suitable for dry, damaged or dyed hair.

How to choose a good mask?

The first thing you should consider when choosing a restorative product is your hair type. There are many criteria by which they can be divided into specific categories: texture, porosity, structure, scalp type. But we will focus on the generally accepted classification, which divides curls into oily, normal and dry. Which rescue mask is suitable for each type?

oily hair. They get dirty quickly, but frequent washing usually doesn’t help. Such strands need thorough cleansing, for which shampoo with sebum-regulating ingredients such as salicylic acid, charcoal or tea tree extract is suitable. The mask can aggravate already oily hair, so its formula should not contain too much oil. Take a closer look at products that promise a smoothing effect without weighing them down, or products designed for the ends of the hair.

dry hair. Dryness is often associated with curly, porous or dyed strands. Such curls require, first of all, moisture. In this case, nourishing masks enriched with oils are suitable. They can be applied to the ends and along the entire length, extending from the roots to five centimeters. But if you have curls, they are more fragile, so it is better to avoid silicones (which can weigh them down) and sulfates (which can dry out already dry strands) in the formula.

normal hair. Owners can rely on their needs at this time. If you think your ends are splitting, choose a product specifically for them. If you want to make your curls more shiny and silky, choose smoothing masks with keratin.
