Summary of the rating:
What do you pay attention to when buying a hair mask?
Some women believe that the best masks can be prepared exclusively at home on the basis of various kinds of ingredients, but this opinion is fundamentally wrong. Products on sale, before going to store shelves, undergo preliminary testing on many women, and home masks can cause serious burns and hair loss.
Before buying a hair mask, be sure to pay attention to what it is made of. If the label indicates that the products are made exclusively from natural materials, while these natural materials are in last place, this means that there are very few of them. The fact is that all the ingredients in the mask are indicated on the label in descending order. Consequently, those products that are closer to the end in this list will be contained in a small amount.
There is no consensus on which products are preferred - domestic or foreign. Some women believe that foreign masks are more effective in this regard, others say that Russian cosmetics contain only natural substances, as companies engaged in the manufacture of hair masks simply do not have the means to synthesize artificial substances. Each point of view has a right to exist.
A fairly wide selection of products is on sale. You should choose depending on your own hair type and the existing problem. Preference should not be given to universal products, since it is unlikely to succeed in achieving a positive result. Too often, masks should not be used, since their effectiveness will decrease because of this - the maximum is allowed to apply them two to three times a week, leaving them on the hair for about 20-30 minutes.
When compiling our rating of the best hair masks, we took into account user reviews and professional cosmetologists. In addition, the ratio of price and quality of products was taken into account, respectively, too expensive products did not fall into our review. So, it's time to go on to analyze the characteristics of this product.
