If your hair is excessively dry, you may be tempted to double up on moisturizers by using a conditioner after your hair mask. Though in this case, more is not always better.
Hair masks are high-power conditioning solutions that can deeply nourish and strengthen your hair. They infuse your strands with desperately-needed hydration; however, too much conditioning can saturate your locks, leading to dull, limp hair.
To achieve maximum benefit, apply your hair mask once or twice a week in place of your regular conditioner.
Masks can enhance virtually any type of hair, but dry, frizzy hair will see the most significant improvement. This is because these intensive moisturizers contain lipids and oils in a heavier concentration than you would find in a typical conditioner.
As we go through menopause, our follicles’ sebaceous glands produce less sebum oil due to hormone fluctuations and other physiological changes.
That’s why dry hair is a real challenge for many of us in our 50s and beyond. If you are experiencing increasingly dry, brittle strands, a hair mask could be precisely what you need to restore your luster.
As the hydration-rich ingredients penetrate and smooth your hair shaft, you can expect:
Along with age-related scalp and hair dryness, you’ve probably noticed hair-thinning. Decreased estrogen production decreases the time your follicles spend in the anagen (growth) phase. Increased dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels cause your follicles to shrink, producing narrow (fine) hair fibers.
Unfortunately, fine, fragile hair is more at risk for the adverse effects of over-conditioning. These effects include:
To avoid these challenges, use your hair mask in place of your conditioner.
The hair-care experts at Better Not Younger have developed two nutrient-rich, ultra-hydrating masks to treat your tired tresses: Silver Lining Purple Butter Masque and Hair Redemption Restorative Butter Masque.
Both formulas address hair-care issues faced by women in perimenopause and beyond using caffeine, vitamin E and five silky plant-based butters, including:
For optimal results, use these masks on wet hair immediately after shampooing. By washing first, you cleanse away impurities and product residue that could interfere with the moisturizers' full effect.
Apply Silver Lining Purple Butter Masque or Hair Redemption Restorative Butter Masque from mid-shaft to the ends of your hair. Leave it on for about one to three minutes, and rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Sometimes you may experience excessive dryness and an itchy head. Rather than conditioning after using your hair mask, you can deep condition once a week and include your scalp.
Improve the condition of your aging tresses with superior styling products, shampoos and moisturizers that complement every part of your hair-care routine.
They were created to be used holistically to enrich your hair's health and improve your sense of well-being from the inside out.
