Winter can be a struggle [1], particularly if you've got bleached hair. When I dyed my hair in September [2], I had forgotten the lack of shine that comes with blonde locks, not to mention the inevitable knots. Although I don't regret my decision to go blonde, I knew I needed to up my hair care routine to keep my hair glossy. I started a hair mask voyage to find products that turned my hair from Hermione to healthy. Here are the 8 hair heroes I found along the way.
Marula Deep Moisture Mask
If you haven't yet heard of Marula oil, get acquainted. The Marula Deep Moisture Mask [2] (£20) is lightweight for those worried about conditioner weighing the hair down, but is still incredibly hydrating. When used with the Marula Hair Treatment Styling Oil [3] (£23), your hair will be tamed, glossy, and smell amazing.
Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask
The Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask [4] (£33) is a super rich mask for those with hair that really needs rescuing. The argan oil helps to repair damaged hair due to its powerful antioxidant formula. It's a great option for those with coloured or brittle hair.

Noughty To the Rescue Intense Moisture Treatment
Noughty To the Rescue Intense Moisture Treatment [6] (£9) is one of the best options if you're in need of a new regular once a week treatment. The tub size is very generous and great value for money. Use this with one of the many Noughty shampoo [7] ranges to really tailor your treatment.
Coco and Eve Coconut and Fig Mask
If you're looking for a little luxury, turn to Coco and Eve Coconut and Fig Mask [8] (£35) and it will leave you feeling like a Bali babe. It is definitely an investment but if you want to treat yourself, the smell alone is worth it!
