After the summer months, our hair can need a little pick-me-up. The sun, sea, chlorine and even all of the salt sprays and products we use can begin to take its toll on hair, creating dry ends, brassy colour and in general just unhappy damaged hair!

Hair masks are one of the easiest ways to nourish, replenish and bring back some much needed life into your hair. And whether your hair is dry, coloured or frizzy, there’s a mask suitable for every hair type. Check out our top 5 hair masks below and when the summer ends, take a little time out to take care of your post summer hair!

The one for dull hair
Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask will not only repair and moisturise your hair, but it will add shine to all hair types. Your post-summer dull hair will glisten again and will become softer and more manageable too thanks to its rich, creamy texture.

The one for weak hair
Wella SP Luxe Oil Keratin Restore Treatment Mask instantly reconstructs your hair fibres which will improve the texture and leave it unbelievably soft. If you’re short of time then this mask is for you as it only needs to be left on for 3-5 minutes.

The one for unrurly, dry hair

Redken Real Control Intense Renewal mask is deal for those with unruly, dry, sensitize hair. It will smooth hard-to-manage hair with intense moisture whilst detangling and protecting against breakage. If you usually have frizzy hair then this mask will help smooth with its cationic conditioner, ceramide and shea butter.

The one for frazzled locks
Time in the harsh sun, hair colouring and over-styling can often leave our locks somewhat frazzled! Tigi Bedhead Urban Antidotes Resurrection Treatment Mask softens, strengthens and helps repair damage done by heat and chemicals. It can be used weekly as intensive repair treat and will smooth your frazzled locks.

The one for coloured hair
At the end of summer, our coloured hair can become dull, faded and brassy. To boost your hair, try Paul Mitchell Color Protect Reconstructive Treatment. It will help repair, condition and hydrate at the same time as preventing damage and split ends.

It’s also a great one if you’re still seeing the last couple of weeks of summer or are going on holiday to hotter climates as it delivers an intense dose of UVA and UVB protection so your colour lasts longer.

It only needs to be left on for 1-3 minutes then rinsed, and followed by your normal conditioner.
