The Best Masks to Upgrade Your Hair This Fall
Updated: Sep. 28, 2018
A must-add to your haircare routine.
It’s time to start masking.
The joy of sun-swim-repeat can manifest as end-of-season blues. “Coming back from summer is like New Year’s Day — you have a hair hangover,” says Tara Benedetti, Kérastase education and business consultant. The universal remedy? A hair mask, which works like a booster shot against the backlash of drying and colour-altering elements. “A hair mask is like conditioner on steroids. Everything in it is hyper-concentrated, there will be more moisture, protein or ceramides,” says Benedetti, “Use it to manage and treat damage now before you go into the fall, which is when the use of hot tools increases. You want hair to be in good condition for that.” Choose a mask by hair type, adding it to your routine in lieu of conditioner as needed. (Learn these 12 everyday habits that are wrecking your hair.)
