Is your hair looking dry and feeling dull? Are you fed up of it refusing to grow? I've been there too and it's a nightmare! Here are a few of my fave hair masks to help you get your hair back to optimum condition.
Olaplex No.0 & No.3
Technically not a hair mask but this treatment is a life saver for damaged hair! Olaplex uniquely works to repair the broken disulphide bonds within our hair that are broken by colouring, heat, environmental factors and styling. These disulphide bonds help to give our hair its structure and strength (broken bonds lead to weak hair)!

As always prevention is better than a cure when it comes to damaged hair. Here are some tips to prevent further hair damage and to encourage healthy hair!

Limit heated styling
Always use a heat protectant when drying your hair
Use a hair spf in the sun
Tie your hair up in harsh weather
