Hair Masque as an After-Shampoo Conditioner

With summer coming to an end, my hair has been feeling dry and damaged after days at the pool and the beach.  Chlorine, salt water and the sun have taken its toll on my hair too.  I decided to try using a hair masque (Kerastase’s Masquintense for Thick Hair) after shampooing, instead of my regular conditioner – I do this twice a week.  It works! My hair feels a lot softer and looks a lot healthier.  It gets a larger doze of the nutrients and conditioning elements it desperately needs.  To keep the noutrients sealed in, I use a leave-in conditioner.  I spray Joico’s K-Pak Leave-in Protectant while my hair is damp, and I just let it dry naturally, avoiding damaging it further by blow-drying or ironing.  The K-Pak Leave-in Conditioner leaves my hair looking styled “au naturel”.
