Hair Treatment

Give your hair a little extra care. For your hair, a repair kit has a similar effect to a spa visit for your body. It nourishes, repairs and protects against environmental influences and damage caused by frequent blow-drying or straightening. It also gives you the perfect excuse for a little you-time. Hair masks need to be left on for some time to have an effect: take this opportunity to relax, because stress can also become visible in your hair over time. How do you find the right product? You can find that out here, and we'll also tell you what many people do wrong when using it: read on.

Your care trio for all-round beautiful hair

You know the saying, 'never change a winning team'? This is also true for haircare, where the trio of shampoo, conditioner and hair mask has proven success. Together they clean, protect and care for your head of hair. Each of these steps is necessary for your hair to face everyday challenges with strength. These two tips will make your haircare trio even more effective:

1. Use a shampoo, conditioner and hair mask from the same haircare range, so all of your care routine steps will be most suited to each other.
2. Change your products every now and then: if you nourish your hair with the same ingredients year after year, it will get too used to them. Decide on one range, use it up, and then choose another for at least a while. 

The best hair mask for your hair

Your hair is just as unique as you are. Its needs vary depending on its natural structure, your styling habits and the environmental influences that it's exposed to on a daily basis. Adapt your care so that it best addresses all of these aspects. How, you ask? It's very simple: learn to understand your hair. Find out what it needs the most right now. The following questions will help you:

• Do you want to support the natural structure of your hair: give your curls more bounce, your thin hair more volume or thick, straight hair more suppleness?
• Do you experience problems such as split ends, hair breakage or a dry scalp?
• Have you coloured your hair and want the colour to look fresh for longer? 

Hair masks: here's what so many people do wrong

You can only achieve optimal results with a hair mask if you use it correctly. There are a few mistakes that are common and limit its effect. These include:

• A lack of routine: your hair is constantly exposed to stress, so it needs regular care. Once a week you should reward yourself with a hair treatment so that your hair is strengthened long-term. And yes, we do mean every week!
• Get to it: a hair repair kit nourishes and strengthens, but your hair won't just wolf down the ingredients. It needs time to absorb them, so be sure to observe the specified treatment time. This is usually around 10-20 minutes.
• Not just on the surface: so that the active ingredients nourish each hair from the root to the tip, you need to work in the mask all over carefully. You can't do that with your bare hands alone. First, massage the product into its length, then gently brush your hair. The brush distributes the product much more evenly.

Care for your hair and make it shine

A hair mask is an ideal complement to regular washing. It nourishes, repairs and protects your hair, giving it shine and fullness, and prolonging your colour's vibrancy. Choose a hair repair kit that meets your hair's needs, and set aside time once a week for that extra bit of care. Among our hair care deals you'll find highly-effective care products from top brands.

FAQs

Which is better, a hair treatment mask or a regular conditioner?

A hair repair kit and a conditioner are two completely different care steps. For this reason, you should ideally use both. You can use the conditioner after every hair wash. It only needs a short amount of time to take effect; it smooths the hair's surface, which is roughened by the cleansing process. This ensures that your hair shines beautifully after you wash it, and that it is easy to comb. Once a week you should replace the conditioner with a hair treatment. It gives your hair even more care. It's full of nourishing and repairing ingredients that keep your hair healthy. So, the ideal care routine looks like this: a conditioner after every wash and a hair treatment mask once a week. 

Do all hair treatments contain silicones?

Silicones give your hair an extra dose of shine. But they are synthetic, which is why many customers and manufacturers prefer to avoid them. You can also find hair masks that are free of dimethicones, methicones, polysiloxanes and cyclomethicones — these are the most common names for silicones in cosmetics. Instead, these treatments contain oils of natural origin. They also make your hair shine and provide additional care.

Are hair treatments also recommended for people with short hair?

Yes, they are, although they should suit your styling needs. If you have short hair, there are different important factors than for people with long hair. Short hair should look full-bodied and shiny; tangle prevention and anti-frizz aren't as important. Treatments that provide volume without weighing you down are especially suitable in this case. If your hair is naturally strong, you can also simply apply a shine treatment every now and then. Hair masks for coloured hair keep your colour fresh for a longer period of time, which is beneficial for every hair length.
