-New Urban Hair- The Best Masks For Black Hair You Can Buy at Your German Neighborhood Drugstore
When it comes to black hair of all textures, it's no secret that our hair requires extra hydration and unique conditioning in order to keep our strands healthy and strong. Masks and deep conditioners are an excellent way boost the general resilience and wellness of our hair by providing thirst quenching ingredients for our hair follicles to maintain overall good health. Hair masks are normally used as part of a more intensive hair regimen to repair dried, frayed hair by lavishing the follicles with a high concentration of proteins to smooth and mend the hair shaft.
Hair masks are generally much thicker than standard deep conditioners. A heavy dose of conditioning active ingredients such as butters, oils, quats (detangling brokers) as well as silicones are integrated to create a mask, and when these are combined they create a powerful formula for moisture, helping to prevent further stress, damage, or breakage on our hair. The general rule of thumb is to use hair masks on a monthly basis as to prevent "protein overload", which essentially happens when there is a moisture/protein imbalance in your hair, causing the reverse desired effect of strengthening the hair & making it brittle, and susceptible to shedding and breakage. Here is a sample of our favorite drugstore hair masks to save you a trip across town in search of pricier, specialty brands to give your hair follicles a fresh, healthy start each month. Unless specified, all products can be found at your neighborhood BUDNI, ROSSMAN, or DM Drogerie, and even most REWE supermarkets
