Hair can become dry and damaged for a number of reasons both to do with the environment and our individual genetic makeup. Although we may not be looking at the usual culprits at the moment (straighteners, curlers and other heat stylers), more exposure to sunlight, along with over washing after home workouts, experimenting with colouring treatments, or even just hormonal changes can contribute to dry hair and scalp issues and cause damage. Of course, we want you to make lock down as fun as possible and carry on having fun in the sun or trying out new colours whilst you don't have the pressure of having to see anyone if you decide it's not for you, so we have put together a list of some of the best deep treatments for dry and damaged hair that will restore moisture levels and bring it back bounce!

Each pack contains at least four applications depending on the length of your hair and are contained a squeezable package for easy application that can be re-sealed for future use. Apply your chosen mask in the shower to wet hair after shampooing, leave for 3-5 minutes and then rinse out.

The Mask not only helps to keep your colour vibrant and even, but also contains ingredients such as Orchid, known for its restorative and protective properties, and Apricot Seed that is rich in proteins and antioxidants essential for healthy hair growth.

Hair will become more manageable after just one use, and feel softer and replenished.

Aesop Rose Hair & Scalp Moisturising Masque

It's no surprise that a dry scalp often means dry hair. The Aesop Rose Hair & Scalp Moisturising Masque is a 30 minute intense treatment that will soothe and moisturise both the hair and scalp to leave them both hydrated and healthy. Blended with Rose Petal extracts and botanical actives from Grapefruit and Lavendar, the Masque is an indulgent but effective treatment that will fix all types of damage as a result of over washing, colouring or an irritated scalp.

Cantu Charcoal Sweat Protection Masque

Powering through the home workouts? Although this is amazing for both your physical and mental health, due to it's high salt content, sweat can dry out and damage the hair, especially if you're trying not to wash it every day. No need to let this stand in your way! The Cantu Charcoal Sweat Protection Masque actively conditions and moisturises locks with pure Shea Butter, while added Charcoal offers impurity-absorbing properties to keep hair purified. Simply apply the leave-in mask at least ten minutes before exercise, working it in from the roots upwards and you're good to sweat (we mean glow!).

Matrix Total Results Moisture Me Rich Shampoo and Conditioner

As well as using one of the above masks once a week, we recommend using a Shampoo and Conditioner specifically for dry hair to keep hydration levels up. As washing can be one of the main cause of dryness, if you are prone to dry hair using a non-drying duo will really help. The Matrix Total Results Moisture Me Rich Shampoo and Conditioner contain nourishing ingredients that are easily absorbed by the hair. Powered with Glycerin that maintains moisture levels, along with Apricot oil, the products will not only leave your hair smelling, but also feeling amazing.
