1 W ith the weather already changing for colder and the moisture levels plummeting my dry damaged hair and I are constantly reaching for hair masks. When I don’t have time to DIY my favorite recipe I like to have a standby (or four) at the ready in the shower. When I’m pick- ing a pre-packaged conditioning mask there are a few things I look for. 2 I always want the ingredients to be ones I can easily decipher or discover. In the last few months I’ve learned that not every unpronounceable ingredient is necessarily bad, while I do prefer things I recognize I also know that some altered ingredients can be less damaging to my hair in the long run. For instance, while using too much natural coconut oil caused my hair to break because of protein build up I’ve found that products using compounds of coconut are okay for every other day use. Right now I’m also loving seaweed, rice protein, and honey, which all help to keep hair healthy, strong and shiny. 4 3 5 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 90 C O S M O B I Z M A G A Z I N E Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Hair Masque TGIN Honey Miracle Mask DevaCurl Deep Sea Repair Amika Nourishing Mask Ouidad Curl Recovery Melt-down Extreme Repair Mask
