How to Choose a Hair Mask for Dry Hair

A good hair mask can make dry hair softer in a single wash. A bad one leaves it greasy and flat. The difference is mostly in the ingredients and in how you use it.

What to look for

• Oils such as argan or coconut near the top of the ingredient list.
• Proteins if your hair is colour-treated or heat-damaged.
• A tub or wide tube, since thick masks are hard to squeeze out.

How often to use one

Once a week is enough for most people. Apply to the lengths and ends, not the roots, and rinse thoroughly.

The one we recommend

A weekly deep-conditioning mask with argan oil for dry or colour-treated hair. Leave on for five minutes and rinse.
