Think about how you feel when you use a face mask as part of your beauty regime. Refreshed, clean and invigorated are just three words that probably come to mind. So why wouldn't you do the same for your tresses? Masking is that extra touch you need in your hair care routine to add a wow factor, by giving your hair the TLC it needs.

Hair masks provides nourishment that your conditioner cannot and are formulated for different hair types. They are, therefore, perfect for repairing and restoring your hair health. Also, because you would leave a hair mask on for longer while you're in the shower, the nutrients are absorbed into your hair and scalp, making it more beneficial for hair health.

Plus, because you can do it from the comfort of your home, it's also a relaxing treatment you can enjoy when it suits your schedule (you won't need to stress about getting an appointment with your hairdresser!). It's the ultimate in home salon hack for your mane.

Bear Fruits' series of masks are deep conditioning hair masks with soothing scents that will keep you going back for more. Plus, they come with IG-worthy shower caps so get selfie ready to share this fun hair treatment with others. Who says hair care has to be boring?

All you have to do is pick a product that suits your hair needs. Wash then towel-dry your hair. Now apply the product all over your hair, from the roots right till the tips. Put on the reusable shower cap so your hair stays in place and you won't be tempted to touch it. Leave it on for half an hour as you go about your morning or night time routine (think: meditating, picking out your favourite outfit or brushing your teeth) before rinsing it off with water. Here's our take on how Bear Fruits' hair masks can help with your different hair concerns!

Bleached hair

1/7

It's oh-so-fun to experiment with different hair colours but you could be damaging your hair. The avocado extract in Bear Fruits Avocado Repair Nourish Hair Mask & Hair Cap 20ml is just what you need to repair your tresses from within.

It's the care and repair your hair needs to recover from bleaching or other chemical treatments. Plus, it has a gorgeous avocado and citrus scent. Did we mention the adorable avocado-design cap?

Dry ends

2/7

Bear Fruits Coconut Moisture Hydration Hair Mask & Hair Cap 20ml gives your hair the right amount of hydration if you suffer from dry or split ends. It's also suitable if you use a lot of styling products as the heat from them can dry out your mane.

Coconut is known to contain lauric acid, which is easily absorbed into your hair and is known to treat split ends, tame frizz and heal breakage. After using this, your hair will be moisturised and feel softer too. Especially recommended for anyone who loves the soothing smell of coconuts.

Dull, dry hair

3/7

You'll be so impressed with your smooth and soft hair after using Bear Fruits Flamingo Smooth Soft Hair Mask & Hair Cap 20ml that we don't blame you if you keep running your fingers through it.

This is thanks to its aloe vera and argan oil ingredients. These ingredients are rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acides and Vitamin E. Your hair will be shinier and less frizzy, and protected from breakage too.

Flat, limp hair

4/7

Sometimes, our hair can feel lifeless and we need something to give it an extra oomph. Bear Fruits Grapefruit Antioxidant Bounce Hair Mask & Hair Cap 20ml contains a grapefruit extract, which is known for its strong antioxidative properties that decongest clogged follicles.

Expect healthier and more voluminous mane; you'll get that super bouncy hair that'll turn heads every time you walk into a room.

Congested scalp

5/7

Your scalp needs to be exfoliated regularly to avoid a build-up of impurities that'll affect your hair health. Bear Fruits Pineapple Detox Revitalise Hair Mask & Hair Cap 20ml detoxifies your hair and scalp, leaving it revitalised and more radiant.

Pineapples are packed with vitamins C, B1 and B6, which protect your hair against radical damage. And we've witnessed how it improved the hair's thickness and elasticity.

Tangled hair

6/7

It might sound like a #firstworldproblem to complain about the fact that you can't easily run your fingers through your hair as it's terribly tangled – but it definitely does ruin your day when that happens.

Bear Fruits Strawberry Detangle Shine Hair Mask & Hair Cap 20ml does the detangling you so need and makes your hair shinier too. The rich combination of antioxidants, ellagic acid and vitamin C in strawberries is also said to improve your hair thickness too. You'll also be refreshed by the strawberry and minty scent.

Dry hair

7/7

The cute and unique unicorn cap should be enough reason for you to get the Bear Fruits Unicorn Moisture Hydration Hair Mask & Hair Cap 20ml. But the good news is, the product itself is just as impressive.

Made with aloe vera and argan oil, it's just what you need to hydrate parched strands. You'll realise that, unlike the unicorn, well-hydrated hair is not just a myth.
