10 of the Best Hair Masks & Intensive Treatments
The Best Hair Treatments and Hair Masks
Humidity, bleaching, UV rays, styling – they bring our hair down and make us want to shave it all off every morning while getting ready. It’s inevitable and frustrating, but there’s a way to make hair care slightly easier (so you don’t keep staring longingly at the scissors). Professional hair care companies have wised up and are creating hair treatment masks to fix all those terrible things we do to our hair from the flat iron to the dry shampoo, and not forgetting the sun and chlorine. We’re talking about bond repairing treatments for stressed hair and intensive masks to tame frizz and breakage. These powerful hair treatments can almost fix everything! It might not be the most foolproof plan, but it sure does work.
We’ve gathered up the ten best hair treatment options so that you can help your hair look its best – even after you’ve styled, dried and tie it in a top knot to the point of *almost* no repair. While it does technically add another step to your weekly beauty routine, hair masks and treatments can transform your hair and give you an enviable mane that regular conditioner simply can’t achieve. Peruse the list of treatments below for the right product that will soothe your hair’s weaknesses, to tame frizz and banish breakage. While they may not be miracle oils, they sure do act like it.
