Changing hair color is as normal to many women as changing their socks, but repeated stripping leaves hair dull and lifeless. Stripped hair is super brittle, breaking and splitting much more often than natural hair. Post-strip conditioning will infuse your hair with much-needed moisture, therefore picking the best conditioner is paramount to perfect locks.
Rene Furterer’s Restructuring and Protective Radiance Mask
Voted a 2011 Best Conditioner for Color-treated hair by “InStyle” magazine, Rene Furterer’s Restructuring and Protective Radiance Mask is a thick, rich conditioner specially formulated for stripped and colored hair. It’s packed with vitamin B and keratin to moisturize hair and repair damaged strands. This award-winning product is made without petro-chemicals and sulfates, which means stronger, healthier hair even after chemical treatments.
Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Hair Recovery Mask
“Ladies’ Home Journal” picked Neutrogena’s Triple Moisture Deep Hair Recovery Mask as one of its top 10 choices for damaged hair. A rich mask made with olive and almond oil extracts, it infuses dry locks with extra oils to keep hair soft and silky. This moisture miracle is designed to be used once a week, and is available for less than $10 in many local drugstores.
L’Oreal Source De Richesse
The experts at “Elle” voted L’Oreal’s Source De Richesse conditioner as a Top 10 Beauty Essential in 2010. This powerful conditioner is 100 percent natural, with no strange chemical perfumes or dyes. Its primary ingredient is tomato lycopene, a kick-butt antioxidant that gives free radicals the boot to restore healthy hair. The thick mask softens easily in your hands, making for mess-free, even conditioning.
Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream
“Allure” magazine’s Best of Beauty winner in the conditioner category for 2010 was Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream. Picked for its abundance of natural ingredients and fabulous scent, this cream shines and softens even the most damaged hair. Oribe’s cream is a leave-in conditioner, and, when applied to damp hair, locks up flyaways and kicks up the shine for hair that glows with an inner radiance.
