What are Masks & Treatments
Hair masks and treatments are intensive care that goes beyond regular conditioning. Damaged hair needs repairing formulas with proteins and keratin, while dry hair benefits from deep hydration with oils and butters. We test masks on different hair types and evaluate their repair ability, hydrating effects and long-term results.
Best for: intensive repair and deep hydration
Not ideal for: daily use (use 1-2x weekly)
