Hair Serums

How to choose a mask and hair serums?

To keep your hair healthy and beautiful, basic care from shampoo and conditioner is not enough – you need additional nutrition and hydration after washing and before styling. For this, various hair masks and indelible products – serums are useful.

Hair masks and serums can improve the condition of the scalp, restore the structure, add shine and softness, stimulate hair growth and make it more manageable. They differ in the principle of action, effects, and active ingredients, suitable for men and women.

Why hair masks are needed?

Hair masks are washable products that are needed for intensive hair nutrition and comprehensive care. They contain more nutrients than shampoos and balms, so masks help restore the structure of damaged hair, strengthen roots, add volume, stimulate growth and add shine. With a quality hair mask, even dry and coarse hair can become soft and silky.

As a rule, hair masks are used two to three times a week. They are applied to wet, clean hair along the entire length or only to the roots of the hair, left for the time indicated on the label, and then washed off thoroughly.

In order for masks to act effectively in a short time, they have a higher pH than shampoos and balms. This means that the tool must be used strictly according to the instructions so as not to worsen the condition of the strands.

What are the types of hair masks?

Classic hair masks have a creamy texture. They do not flow and are absorbed into wet hair. Washable hair emulsions with oils in the composition work on the same principle.

Filler masks should be diluted with water to the state of a balm, applied to the hair, and left for a while. They work better if you create a thermal effect – put on a warming cap or wrap your hair. Fillers help restore the structure of damaged hair.

Boosters are additives to hair masks that contain high concentrations of beneficial substances to enhance the effect of the mask. They often come in the form of ampoules or bottles with a dispenser, from which it is convenient to add them to the mask right before use. Sometimes they are used when dyeing the hair to protect strands from the effects of aggressive chemicals.

Peelings are rinse-off products for the scalp that help cleanse it of dead cells and refresh it. They can help cure dandruff, get rid of excess oil on the scalp and enhance hair growth. Peelings are applied to wet scalp and massaged, and then washed off.
