These ingredients work to rebuild the hair's structure, reducing breakage and split ends. Research has shown that using a hair mask regularly can increase hair strength by up to 25%.
Enhanced Shine and Luster
If dull, lackluster hair is a concern, a hair mask can help restore shine and luster to your locks. The nourishing ingredients in hair masks smooth the hair cuticle, reflecting light and creating a glossy finish. In fact, studies have demonstrated that using a hair mask can increase hair shine by up to 40%.
Improved Scalp Health
Healthy hair starts at the scalp, and hair masks can also benefit the health of your scalp. By nourishing the scalp with essential nutrients, hair masks can help alleviate dryness, flakiness, and irritation. Research has shown that regular use of a hair mask can improve scalp health by reducing inflammation and promoting a balanced microbiome.
