What is a Hair Mask?

What is a Hair Mask?

A hair mask may be no different from a “deep” conditioner depending on the product. The best way to distinguish a hair mask from a deep conditioner is by the purpose of the product. A product that truly strengthens your hair, a protein based product for example, is what you should have in mind when you are looking for a hair mask. For example, certain repair conditioners strengthen hair but don’t necessarily make it any softer. This distinction between deep conditioners and hair masks is really a matter of splitting hairs, so don’t feel that either label justifies a significantly different markup in price.

It’s important to approach hair products with a critical eye. While we may want them to work miracles, they seldom do. Your hair’s level of moisture will more than likely be more greatly impacted by your daily routine and your moisturizing products than hair masks or deep conditioners. Now, if you find a “holy grail” deep conditioner or hair mask, by all means buy it and use it at least once a week or maybe two or three times maximum.
