If your hair is in need of some serious repair, you may need something a little stronger than a deep condition and hair masques like the ones from The Butter Fusions Hair Masque Collection or our Fix My Hair — Intensive Repair Conditioning Masque can do the trick. Not sure what hair masques can do for your tresses? Here are six benefits of using them.

They go deeper than your regular deep conditioner.

Although it’s often thought that deep conditioners and hair masques are one and the same, there is a bit of difference between the two. Hair masques tend to go a little deeper to take care of the problems that your normal day-to-day products may not be able to. There is a higher concentration of nutrients and they are created to repair the hair from deep within.

They offer great results.

Hair masques offer plenty of great benefits and results for those who use them. For example, you’ll increase the shine and moisture of your hair through using them. Your hair can even become softer and stronger as a result. Frizz can even be decreased, too.

They can target a specific need for you.

No matter what it is that you need for your hair, there’s a hair masque that can help with that. Just like any other product that you find for your hair, you’ll want to ensure that it supplies what you need. From gaining hair growth with the Tress Boost — Blackberry & Castor Hair Growth Masque to hydrating your scalp with the Soothe Operator — Macadamia & Mint Dry Scalp Conditioning Masque, there’s something for everyone and every need.

It can help reverse damage.

Hair damage is not something that only occurs when you’ve applied heat, but it can also happen when you’re not taking proper care of your hair. Your hair can start to lose its natural moisture and in turn, cause massive frizz and become weak. Hair masques can help to repair this damage.

You can re-hydrate your hair.

If your hair feels dry even after a good deep condition and product application, you may want to consider applying a hair masque. Finding the right masque that will help nourish, rehydrate, and moisturize your hair will be extremely beneficial for you. The Fix My Hair — Intensive Repair Conditioning Masque is a great place to start.

If you have color-treated hair, it can really help.

Though applying color can add a little extra to your tresses, you’ll want to ensure that you’re applying a hair masque. Color-treated hair has a tendency to become dry and can lead to hair thinning. Hair masques can help replenish the moisture that is stripped from your hair during the coloring process and restore the health and softness of your tresses.
