Out of all the beauty products and beauty care items to obsess over, somehow, I always manage to gravitate towards hair products. While I love a good cleansing face mask to leave my skin bright and firm, there's nothing better than slathering on a good hair mask because your tired tresses deserve some love too.
There's something deeply meditative about putting a thick layer of goop onto your head and running it through your strands, knowing that in a few minutes, your tresses will be as soft as ever — especially if you're someone like me, who happens to either dye the crap out of her hair or just tends to get dry ends, which can oftentimes lead to breakage or split ends.
When it comes to repairing damaged hair, a nice moisturizing hair mask might be able to do the trick, or at least hold it over a little longer before going back to the salon for a trim. Of course, there's always DIY masks to give your head a little extra help, but if you're in need of some real R&R, a deep conditioning mask from the store or salon could be your best bet.
