It’s no secret that Mumbai is the capital city for all things humidity. When you add the monsoons of Mumbai to the mix, it’s just a recipe for disaster. Frizzy hair is something we all deal with, whether our locks are straight, wavy or curly. However, some face the brunt of it more than others do. Keeping the frizziness at bay isn’t as easy as it sounds. You could be using the best smoothening and frizz-free shampoos and conditioners, but if you’re not using hair masks— you’re definitely missing out!
Now, frizzy hair is caused when the external layer of our hair attracts moisture. This causes it to change texture and kinda blow up a little more than usual. Yep, exactly like that episode from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. where Monica Geller’s hair is beastly. So basically, when your hair is dry and there’s humidity around you, that’s when your hair is the most prone to getting frizzy. One way to combat this is by using hair masks that are specially created for keeping the frizz at bay. Hair masks provide extra nourishment and shine, and are the key to making frizzy hair manageable.
Here are a few hair masks that do a great job at that.
Plum, Olive and Macadamia Mega Moisturising Hair Mask
As the name suggests, Plum’s Olive and Macadamia Mega Moisturising Hair Mask is one that infuses a boost of moisture into extremely dry hair. Infused with nourishing ingredients like macadamia oil, shea butter not only does it soften your hair but it also contains a UV shield that protects coloured hair. Oh, and did we mention this hair mask works like a charm for all hair types? Whether you’ve chemically treated your hair or coloured it or even if your hair is simply just hella dry.
Moroccanoil, Intense Hydrating Mask
Alright, we know nobody does hair masks like Moroccanoil does and the Intense Hydrating Mask just proves that. If you’re someone who has thick hair that tends to dry and get frizzy, this one’s for you. It’s creamy, rich texture strives hard to manage any and all frizz. The hero ingredient, argan oil is known for it’s nourishing properties while it also adds a lil bit of shine and elasticity too! Wanna know a secret? Mix this with a few drops of Moroccanoil’s Treatment and watch how manageable your strands become.
Kevin Murphy, Angel Masque
Kevin Murphy is finally available in India and we don’t have to rely on international trips for getting our hands on it anymore! The Angel Masque is a messiah if you’ve developed frizzy hair due to colouring them incessantly. It’s an intensive treatment which is developed using ingredients like bamboo extracts to nourish and manage hair, amino acids to protect against damage and lotus flower extract to add a dash of shine. What we love about this product is how gentle it is even for the thinnest hair.
Kérastase, Discipline – Maskeratine Hair Masque
Often external agressors like pollution when combined with heating tools and styling treatments, lead to limp and lifeless hair most of the time. Kérastase’s Discipline – Maskeratine Hair Masque is one product that’s worth the money when it comes to smoothening frizzy hair. It’s Morpho-Keratin complex restores the strength of your hair’s fibers and provides anti-frizz protection. A little product goes a long way with this hair mask and it does a fabulous job of bringing back lost fluidity.
Schwarzkopf Professional, SPA Essence Hydrating Cream Masque
The SPA Essence Hydrating Cream Masque by Schwarzkopf Professional is a personal favourite because I’ve been using it for over 3 years now. It’s just that good! It’s not possible for one to spare the time and head to the salon for a ultra-nourishing hair spa, no? That’s where this hair mask comes in. A hydrating product that promises to tame unmanageable hair and add a layer of some gloss? That’s why I’m a loyal user.
Nykaa Naturals, Fermented Rice Water and Bamboo Hair Mask
The Fermented Rice Water and Bamboo Hair Mask by Nykaa Naturals is specially created for dry and damaged hair. It protects your tresses from dryness due to lack of moisture and leaves it silkier than ever. Bamboo drastically improves the ability of the hair to retain moisture and prevent frizz. Fermented rice water deeply repairs the damage. So when combined together, these ingredients act like a powerhouse to help heal damaged and dry hair.
