Rating of the best professional hair masks
Not everyone can afford regular visits to the salon. In small settlements it is difficult to find a worthy specialist, in large cities a visit to a master costs a lot of money. However, you can provide professional hair care simply by using the right products.
The only problem with self-care is that it takes trial and error to find the most effective options. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the salon at least for the sake of consultation and consult with the master.
When choosing between professional cosmetics and cosmetics of mass production, it should be remembered that the quality control of the latter is not so strict, the ingredients are selected on the basis of reducing the cost of production, and not in order to achieve optimal working qualities.
Professional hair masks are subject to more stringent control, as a rule, do not contain harmful substances. But in the composition you can find many natural and useful ingredients.
There are several types of masks for their purpose:
- Cleansing. They contain absorbent components, most often clay. The purpose of the product: to remove impurities from the scalp, to free the pores from the remnants of styling products, to remove limescale that appears with regular use of tap water.
- Restoring. Designed for damaged hair. Used after illness, chemical exposure, improper staining, use of a traumatic comb. They contain nutrients, keratin or other protein components that can "repair" damaged areas of the hair.
- After staining. They are necessary not only to maintain health and eliminate the negative consequences of aggressive coloring compositions, but also to maintain a bright saturated color for as long as possible.
- Nutritious. They contain vitamins, minerals, oils and natural ingredients that nourish the hair, strengthening and stimulating its growth.
