Summer might be time for fun in the sun, but too much time in the elements can be harsh on your hair. Not to mention the fact that all that sweat and ocean water means we're washing our hair more than normal, which can also damage it. That's why this year, we're all about leave-in conditioners, scalp scrubs, and hair masks.
These babies are deep conditioning treatments that basically work like sunburn relief for your hair — they hydrate, repair, and protect. You can grab different kinds of hair masks based on what hair type you have (like thicker, hydrating masks for thicker, dry hair and repairing masks for damaged hair). Keep reading for some of the best hair masks on the world wide web.
