Battle of The Hair Masks!

Taking care of your hair is just as important as taking care of your skin. If you don't care for it then it can look dull, lifeless and lackluster. This is why once a week I like to take some time to care for my hair and give it a hair mask!

Some people will say, isn't a mask just like a conditioner? Well that's true it does condition your hair but it also gives your hair a massive boost, just like when you put a face mask on once a week your skin starts to feel better, it's the same for your hair. 

Today I will be showing you 3 hair masks that I have been using the past few months and giving you my expert* analysis. (*I am not actually an expert but I know my stuff haha)

Firstly, as a umm natural red head *cough cough* it's always good to invest in a colour enhancing mask! This one is from Trevor Sorbie and it's called Trevor Sorbie Colour Enhance Mask (£5.99RRP) This mask has sunflower seed extract which is what helps to enhance the colour. It smells really nice, familiar, but can't put my finger on it. It's quite a thick formula which I recommend is left on 5-10 mins. It did help the vibrancy in my colour but also made my hair feel really soft and nice. Would recommend this if you had Blonde or Red hair that you like keeping its vibrancy.




Up next a Repairing Mask, I've spoken about this one before and I love it! It's Mark Hill 2 Minute Intensive Treatment (£7.99RRP) Now this one smells divine, it's full of citrus smells, ylang-ylang and just exoticy! It only has to be left in for 2 mins which is a big plus for the girl on the go. It's for all hair types and really does repair, strengthen and soften your hair. It doesn't do anything for my colour but it is really lovely. One of my faves! :)





And finally Herbal Essences Bee Strong Intensive Mask (£4.59RRP) this is endorsed by Nicole Scherzinger and who doesn't want hair like Scherzy! This smells amazing, honey and apricots, like a dream. It's really creamy and lovely. I leave this one in for about 10 mins and this has been the best for strengthening my hair and leaves it so luxuriously soft. One problem is that it's faded my colour a little bit but not so much that my hair looks dull. Would recommend this for people who do find their hair breaking quite a lot or have dry ends.




My favourite out of the 3 is the Trevor Sorbie because it's great for my colour but it's also made my hair really strong and feel so soft and shiny. All 3 have some major pro's and would recommend them to anyone. The Bee Strong Range is all amazing though and smells the nicest.



Hope this post has been informative, I hope you all know how important caring for your hair is and giving it that little bit of a treat for yourself and your hair and you never know that hair mask might give your hair the boost it needs to put a spring in your step.

  8. I've been looking at the trevor sorbie for a while! I generally stick to oil treatments, but since I have heavily coloured hair it might be worth investing in a mask especially for it!

    1. My hair's bright red and the Trevor Sorbie is amazing for it. I can't use oils on my hair, can't get to grips with them haha.
