Text: Karina Andreeva
I decided that it would be interesting to make a post about the masks that I currently care for in the form of a rating. And to make everything more objective, I used these masks one after another in my hair care, without changing all the other accompanying products.
- That is, before each mask in my care, the first step was always an oil hair mask - a light oil elixir of Lundenilona.
- I applied Jinda spray to the hair roots (but I think that the spray didn’t play a role here at all, but so that you know exactly what was in my care, I wrote it).
- Then I washed my hair with two shampoos: first with Extra Herbal Shampoo Fresh mee leaf + Butterfly Pea from Jinda Herb Co, then - Pharmakarite Intensive Nourishing Shampoo for very dry hair and scalp Green Pharma
- After that, I applied one of the masks from this rating to my hair.
- And completed the care with a leave-in on the tips - Argan Oil Elixir ARGAN SUBLIME ELIXIR
5 Place - Hair Mask Honey Avocado Organic Shop
The cost is about 90 rubles.1 package
Not the most convenient jar, or rather its lid, but tolerable and acceptable, the nails do not suffer, it opens easily with your fingers. The design is simple but pleasing to the eye.
2. Manufacturer promises 
3. Composition not long but contains nice ingredients and silicone free so there is hope. That the mask works not only on the surface of the hair.
4. Consistency and flavor 
The consistency is very thick, for which the mask is immediately a plus. The aroma is pleasant, but it smells like soap (pleasant fragrant soap). When you open the jar, the aroma immediately bursts out. It remains on the hair, but gradually weakens. In general, the hair exudes a pleasant aroma, no longer reminiscent of soap, perhaps, slightly.
5. Impressions from the application
It is easy to apply, the mask does not drip from the hair, it is distributed easily. It was embarrassing that the mask should be kept on the hair for only 1-2 minutes, I kept it longer (10-15 minutes). When washing off, there was sometimes a feeling that the entire slippery effect was washed off. Probably, it is better not to “wash” this mask than to “wash it off”.
6. Visual effect 
The hair after the mask looks good, it is soft, pleasant, smooth, but not voluminous, and not very easy to comb.
conclusions
In general, I liked the mask, but I would like more conditioning (more ease of combing after application).
4th Place - Mask Estel Curex Sun Flower restoration and protection
The cost is about 490 rubles.
1 package
A convenient large plastic bright orange jar with a screw-on lid, under which there is a protective membrane made of transparent plastic. Picking up a mask from a jar is easy.
2. Manufacturer promises 
3. Composition not bad, with panthenol and protection from UV rays (which, perhaps, is superfluous in winter, but it does not prevent the mask from being an excellent assistant in hair care this season), and several silicones (I think they are mainly responsible for the visual in this mask). 
4. Consistency and flavor 
The mask has a very thick consistency, which I like, because it is so convenient to use when the mask needs to be kept on the hair for longer than 5 minutes.
The aroma is pleasant, light, does not hit the nose, it remains on the hair, but barely perceptible.
5. Impressions from the application
As I wrote above, the mask is very convenient to use, applied to slightly towel-dried hair, wrapped a bun out of the hair and forgot for 15 minutes, doing my own thing. Nothing drips from the hair. The mask is distributed through the hair, despite the density of the consistency is very easy.
6. Visual effect will not keep you waiting! Results immediately after the first application. The hair is smooth, soft, not weighed down, shiny and beautiful, easy to comb. There is definitely moisture and the effect of the presence of silicones too. 
conclusions
I'm not sure about the restoration, but there is maintenance of a good condition (read - protection) of the hair along the entire length. And the moisturizing effect is a very important quality of a hair mask. Plus a great visual, which makes the mask very, very good.
3rd Place - Ollin Shine Blond mask with echinacea extract
The cost is about 398 rubles.
1 package
The jar is very beautiful, just for girls who love their hair. The cap is easy to unscrew, the mask as a whole is very comfortable in the hand.
2. Manufacturer promises 
3. Composition I like the presence of useful ingredients, 
4. Consistency and flavor 
The consistency is thick but not too thick. And for me it is a little uneven (as if somewhere thicker, somewhere not). I think this may be due to the approaching expiration date. But fortunately, it did not affect the action on the hair in any way.
The aroma is strong and pleasant, like a perfume. The fragrance remains on the hair, but at the same time it becomes lighter and even more pleasant.
5. Impressions from the application
I liked using the mask more on damp hair than on towel-dried hair. So it is easier to distribute through the hair and the effect of the application is somehow better. Nevertheless, due to the heterogeneity of the consistency, it is necessary to properly distribute the mask along the length of the hair, otherwise it will be more difficult to rinse the place where the mask accumulates. I usually leave this mask on my hair for 10 minutes.
6. Visual effect 
Hair after application is softer than after other masks from this rating, while they are somehow lighter and more airy. There is almost no feeling of silk and flowing hair, but there is shine and the hair is very easy to comb and almost does not tangle during the day. It feels hydrated after application, which I really like.
conclusions
The mask with echinacea extract relished my hair, as well as all the masks from this rating, but I would like a more shiny and flowing finish.
2nd Place - Lundenilona Professional Deep Moisturizing Balm-Mask
1 package
A convenient large nice light plastic tube with a mask has very pleasant and useful affirmations on one side. On the other side - information about the product, manufacturer, composition, method of application, promises, etc.
The lid is very comfortable and easy to open and close.
The tube with the mask was originally placed in a beautifully designed cardboard box, which also contains all the important information about the product.
2. Manufacturer promises
3. Composition
The composition inspires confidence and hope for the fulfillment of all the promises of the manufacturer. The mask is aimed at working at a deep level, and not on the surface of the hair.
4. Aroma and texture
The texture of the mask is thick, not slippery, more like such a thick dense cream.
The aroma of the mask is very tasty, sweet, as if edible, pleasant, not cloying, not annoying. Stays on hair but is light.
5. Impressions from the application
This mask, in my opinion, should be applied more, in any case, my hair, as if it was eaten, if applied a little. When applied, the hair seems to absorb the mask and become thicker and smooth to the touch, but not slippery. I usually leave this mask on my hair for 20 minutes or more, then wash off with cool water.
6. Visual effect 
Hair after the Lundenilona mask is denser both in appearance and in sensations. They become a little stiffer because of this, but they are nourished, shiny and smooth. The ends also feel great after it. Hair gets tangled to a minimum, but it happens that nodules appear, they do not magnetize.
conclusions
I like the mask, with long-term use it makes the hair better, makes the hair thicker, denser, and in general, the hair is amazing after it.
1 Place - Cream-mask Royal Jelly from Kaaral nourishing based on royal jelly
The cost is about 700 rubles.
1 package
A large white plastic jar with a nice design, with a screw-on lid, of a decent volume. It seems that the mask is endless.
2. Manufacturer promises
3. Composition without silicones with the promised royal jelly.
4. Consistency and flavor 
The consistency at first glance seems thick, but the mask is watery.
Not everyone likes the fragrance, because it smells like hair dye, and very strong. But some, oddly enough, are delighted with this smell (and I'm not talking about myself, but about familiar men). I myself am fine with this fragrance, which my hair exudes for a long time. I'm used to this strong scent.
5. Impressions from the application
Despite the fact that the consistency of this mask is not my favorite, there are no difficulties with the application, because I keep this mask on my hair exactly according to the instructions, that is, about 3 minutes. I apply the mask on damp, towel-dried hair, of course, it immediately strives to slip off the hair, because the hair instantly becomes slippery.
When washing off, it is felt that the effect of slippery hair does not disappear anywhere.
6. Visual effect 
The mask gives an unreal shine and gloss to the hair, while making it a little more structured. Hair after this mask is very obedient, easy to comb, pleasant to the touch.
conclusions
The mask takes care of the hair so well in a matter of minutes, giving them an unreal shine, that it got me in first place in the TOP 5.
Conclusion.
I like all the masks from today's rating, so it was a little difficult to give them places “from worst to best”, but I tried to do this mainly based on the visual for greater objectivity, because deeper changes in the condition of the hair can only be tracked over a large period time from the beginning of the use of a particular means.All wonderful hair and until new posts

Care products differ in composition depending on the type for which they are provided. With a tendency to oiliness, care is required, different from products for dry hair. Others specify that they eliminate dandruff, prevent split ends, add volume, reduce shedding, or stimulate growth.
The best store-bought hair masks add shine to curls, nourish or strengthen roots.Now the inscription on the label or the recipe needs to be compared with the condition of your hair. For example, after staining or when dry, they need increased hydration. It is important to choose the appropriate composition and method of application. To moisturize the strands, you need to distribute the product to the very tips, and not apply to the scalp.
When the roots need nourishment, the best hair mask is one with a strengthening effect. Apply the product should be, paying attention to the roots.
How to choose the best purchased mask for hair growth and hair loss?
If we talk about homemade masks, a recipe from available ingredients is preferable. Also, the components of the mixture should not cause allergies.

When buying funds in a store, it is also recommended to read the composition. A good hair mask is enriched with natural extracts, B vitamins. It is impossible to find a product without preservatives and dyes, as they provide a long shelf life. However, preference should be given to products with a minimum content of such additives.

If you are guided by these points when choosing, you will be able to choose the right mask sooner and without harm from experiments. A suitable composition and proper application will give the desired result.

- 2. It is desirable that the cosmetics purchased for the head belong to one manufacturing company.
- 3. A specialist in a beauty salon or a hairdresser will help you choose the right product.
When buying a mask, be sure to read the label and the list of ingredients. If at least one of them is allergic, you cannot purchase such a product. When applying the product to the strands, it is important to strictly follow the instructions, because the intensity of the drug can cause discomfort if it is used incorrectly.
At home, you can use professional masks, subject to simple rules. A prerequisite is the study of the instructions, because the funds are applied in different ways. Application options directly depend on the medicinal properties of the product, its composition and the duration of the mask. Some products need to be washed off after 5-15 minutes, while others - after 30 minutes, depending on the desired effect.
General rules:
- 1. The mass should be applied along the entire length of the hair in an even layer with a brush or comb.
- 2. Creamy or liquid texture should be applied to clean strands.
- 3. Some ingredients may oxidize in air, so the head must be wrapped in cellophane.
- 4. Only warm water is used to wash off the mass.

Recovery products contain proteins, vitamins and plant extracts. The exposure time of such masks, depending on the purpose, is from 30 to 40 minutes; it is impossible to keep the mixture on the hair longer than the time indicated on the label, since the content of active ingredients in the product is very high.
For curly hair, in order to eliminate fluffiness, products are released in the form of a spray that does not require rinsing. Such a mask can be used daily in the morning, as well as after each washing of the strands.
For owners of bleached hair, the mask should be applied evenly from the roots to the tips, paying particular attention to the bangs, temples and nape, using a brush or comb with frequent teeth. The product is washed off with shampoo, after rinsing it is recommended to use a nourishing balm.
