    Julia, and what masks are the best for the summer season, I live by the sea, I often sunbathe (I cover my hair on the shore))), good hair only suffers a little from salt and sun)

    • Yuliya

      If you live near the sea, then a mask made of coconut oil and jojoba will be indispensable for you. Take one tablespoon of oils (you can increase it if your hair is long), heat it up and apply it warmly to the length of your hair. This mask is ideal even before going to the beach: the mask protects hair from the sun and even sea water, in addition, it nourishes the hair, makes it softer and more elastic. You can read about the beneficial properties of these oils on the Internet.
      And another good hair care mask in summer:
      - half a ripe avocado;
      - 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
      Mix and apply to the length of the hair, hold for 40 to 60 minutes and then wash your hair as usual. If your hair is not prone to oily, then this mask can be applied to the scalp.

      • Lara

    Julia, good afternoon! Please tell me if there is such a balm that, after drying the hair, activates its properties under a curling iron or iron.

    • Yuliya

      Good day)
      You mean washable thermal protection? Such products are, for example: Hair Conditioner "thermal protection" Matrix Total Results Heat Resist Conditioner or Thermal and revitalizing mask Revlon Professional Pro You Repair Heat Protector Treatment.
      But, nevertheless, it is better to choose indelible thermal protection if you use a curling iron or iron: LOreal Professionnel Absolut Repair Lipidium Reconstructing and protecting blow-dry cream or Indola Innova Setting Thermal Protector or Spray- thermal hair protection Estel Professional Airex
