You always hear that to maintain hair health you need to hydrate, right? But when it comes to hydration, there are many differences between using a hydrating and repairing mask .
The reconstructive mask is suitable for brittle, brittle and non-elastic hair, that is, when the hair needs to be rebuilt because there are missing parts in the hair structure.
So if you have very damaged hair, you do a hydration and you do not see improvements, it is because it is likely that you will have to do a hair repair of the hair .
Hair repair is a process of rebuilding the proteins, amino acids and minerals that are essential for the hydration of the physical structure of the hair. Treats the outer layers of the hair and adds shine, softness and natural balance to the locks.
You can see the results of hair repair in the first sessions : the hair shows signs of recovery in the texture, and it becomes stronger and more resistant . However, to guarantee the durability of the treatment carried out in the salon, it is necessary that you do a maintenance at home with products from the same line that was used in the hair repair, so that the reconstructive active ingredients remain in the hair and spread the benefits of it.
If you don’t want to do a hair reconstruction at the salon, you can use repair masks at home .

But Schwarzkopf reformulated the mask and introduced two new versions , one for thick hair and one for fine hair! Since then, only praise.

These are the 5 repairing masks that give the best results and recover any type of damaged hair .
What is the function of repair masks?
Rebuild brittle hair and provide essential nutrients . Our hair is made of keratin, which is made up of 19 amino acids. The daily physical aggressions that we suffer (such as coloring, bleaching, progressive straightening, relaxing and drying) leave our hair fragile. Therefore, the keratin must be replaced.
All reconstruction has keratin in its formula, even if it is not explicit on the package.
The ingredients that are normally contained in the repair mask are: keratin (cysteine and arginine), collagen , amino acids, wheat protein and creatine.
Keratin : protein with high molecular weight, capable of retaining moisture and restructuring hair throughout its length. More information about keratin for hair.
Amino Acid Complex : Combination that has an affinity for hair keratin, causing the spaces of damaged fibers to be attracted, filled in and then rebuilt.
Wheat protein : Forms a film on the hair fiber that helps repair damaged keratin scales. Provides body, shine and softness to hair.
To enhance the effect of a repairing mask, you can add liquid keratin to your cream.
When should the Repair Mask be used?
Each 15 days. Too much rebuilding is just as bad as not rebuilding, because too much keratin makes hair harder and easier to break. Avoid weekly use of this product.
