If you’re anything like us, the harsh winter is probably making you miss those trips to the hair salon even more right now. In need of some extra TLC and a refresh? Hair masks are a tried and true way to bring your hair back to life by re-hydrating your hair, giving your hair that post-salon shimmer and feel.

We sat down with Justin, one of St. Vital Centre’s resident hair experts, with some helpful tips and recommendations on how to keep your hair healthy.

1. amika, flash instant shine mask

This mask is for when your hair is looking dull. It instantly seals your cuticle and adds amazing shine. Great for all hair types.

2. Fanola, No Yellow Mask

This mask helps keep blonde and silver hair from turning brassy. It's a great alternative to purple shampoo - as overusing purple shampoo may dry hair out more. This mask tones hair while keeping it moisturized.

3. L'ANZA, Trauma Treatment

An extreme moisture leave-in conditioner. It helps prevent hair colour from fading while adding moisture and shine. Great for those that struggle with dry, coarser hair.

4. Moroccanoil, Color Depositing Mask

A deep conditioning mask that comes in a variety of colours. It helps refresh faded colours or add bright colours to pre-lightened hair.

5. amika, the kure intense repair mask.

A deep conditioning mask that helps repair minor damage. It leaves hair feeling super soft and smooth. This mask is great for dry brittle hair and works well for maintaining the lifespan of hair extensions.

6. OLAPLEX, No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask

A moisturizing mask that uses bond-building technology to strengthen your hair. Great for dry damaged hair or to help prep your hair for an upcoming colour service.

Got a hot date night coming up and want to look extra gorgeous? Hair masks are a quick and simple way to keep your hair boutique-level stunning for even longer. Finding the perfect one for your needs will really help give your hair a little extra love during the cold months. While you’re at it, why not treat yourself to a trendy, new handbag while you’re at the Centre?
