Hair Masks to Use this Summer


I was sent 4 conditioning hair products to try, which is incredibly helpful since my hair started to dry out and become course from the bleaching/dying and the craziest heat exposure here in So Cal. I tried the following masks and gel and found that the easiest to use was the RUSK Deepshine Color Repair Restorative Masque because of the squeeze bottle packaging. The best results in shine, moisture and smoothness was from using the Cantu Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream, although the RUSK and Macadamia product did create shines and add moisture, I liked the results from Cantu the most. I've used a Macadamia Deep Hair Mask before, but unfortunately was not as impressed with the results of this Macadamia Professional Ultra Rich Moisture Masque

When using the Smooth 'N Shine Olive & Tea Tree Extra Hold Conditioning Gel, I applied it onto my hair as I would gel or mousse. I liked that it dried fairly quickly in my hands (so I wouldn't have to wipe off excess gel from my hands), and the product didn't harden my hair. It has a pleasant tea tree fragrance, and it really smoothed down any hairs without looking like I applied a ton of product into my hair.
