Weekends are for self-care, reading, and other relaxing activities you might want to indulge in. And along with other necessary reset rituals, the end of the week is a dedicated hair care day (curly/frizzy hair girls will relate) and an essential task that needs to be knocked out of the way. And though you think that you have a very solid hair regime, there is a high chance that you might be skipping one very important step and that is hair mask, which should be included in your oil-shampoo-condition processes. It can really enhance your hair care and help you have nourished, hydrated-looking hair, which, in tandem with conditioner, really keeps them shiny and frizz-free for a longer period of time. And to make this recommendation foolproof, we have prepared a comprehensive list of the best hair masks that are available on the market. Read on!

FAQs
How often should you use a hair mask?
Hair masks should only be used once a week, and you can use them in conjunction with conditioner, but unlike conditioner, you should only use it weekly.
Is there a specific duration for which you should keep it on?
This depends on different products only, and you can find the specificities on the label itself. Although, it is always a good practice to keep your hair mask on for 15 to 20 minutes.
How should you apply it?
Apply it with your hands, on the scalp, and rub it into the length of your hair, and use a wide-tooth comb to evenly spread it out. Keep it on for the suggested duration, and then rinse it twice, to ensure that the product is out.
