If you’ve ever wondered which hair mask is best for you, you’re in the right place. These days we are truly spoilt for choice, wandering through seemingly endless beauty aisles without a real understanding of what our body needs. This is especially true for us curly girls, who seem to be trialling a new product every week.

After a month of using this product every other day - I still have over 85% product left. You don't need to use much, and the smell is soo nice. I do feel like the scent will be 50/50, either you love it or you hate it. The best way I could describe it, it smells like cologne.

Battle of the Masks:

Wonderfully, the most difficult part is deciding which one you want. Which hair mask is best for me? Deep conditioning is my favourite step on wash day. There’s just something about putting a deep conditioning hair mask on and leaving it to do it’s magic for 30 minutes (OK sometimes longer…) I usually deep condition my hair (which is type 4 natural hair) once a week and I alternate between deep conditioners depending on what’s in my hair stash.

After washing out the mask and using my microfibre towel, my hair still felt soft. My curls didn’t feel as moisturised as they usually would after a mask, but I actually thought this was a good thing. Rather than feeling oversaturated or heavy, it had more volume. Now we have... Infused with a delicate, natural scent, the fragrance is potent without overpowering your senses. ExperienceCurl type, porosity and texture all determine which products will work with your hair. If you have thin hair, you'll need something lightweight and creamy, with a consistency that’s easy to absorb. Before we get into the breakdown, we answered some of the usual questions surrounding hair masks. 1. Can you leave a hair mask on for too long? This mask felt amazing in my hair.

With plenty of slip, it was actually effortless to detangle. Once it was in my hair, it felt like butter, encasing my hair in nourishment.

This can be under a warm hooded dryer but let’s be real a hooded dryer is not cheap and take up space so a more economical alternative try a Hair Flair Deluxe Softhood Bonnet Hair Dryer Attachment with a blowdryer.Alternatively, you can simply use a shower cap and wrap if it a warm towel or use a heated shower cap which can be warmed up in the microwave. Deep conditioning with heat opens up the cuticles so that the conditioner can penetrate your hair. The rich formulation helps restore natural lipids to damaged hair, promotes hair elasticity, seals and smoothes hair cuticles and adds healthy shine to those natural curls

SheaMoisture delivers the perfect deep conditioner for those who have dry, damaged hair or transitioning chemically treated hair as well as natural curly, coily hair Moisturising deep conditioners which are formulated with emollient butters like shea and mango butter, natural oils such as coconut, olive and almond oils and humectants and glycerin help replenish moisture, protect and keep your hair elastic (flexible) and in turn could help prevent breakage.

Shampoos open up the hair cuticles and conditioners close them. For your mask to work its magic, it needs to be able to enter the hair follicle. The mask will be most effective when used after shampoo, because there's a clear pathway into the cuticle. Thank me later. Battle of the Masks: First up we have...
