What to Look for in Masks for Bleached Hair

Bleached hair requires extra care and nourishment, so choosing the right hair mask is essential for maintaining strength and shine.

1. Moisturizing Ingredients

Look for masks rich in hydrating ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, or hyaluronic acid. These help replenish moisture lost during the bleaching process and prevent dryness and breakage.

2. Protein Content

Bleaching can weaken hair structure, so a mask with proteins such as keratin or silk amino acids can help repair and strengthen damaged strands. However, balance is key—too much protein may cause brittleness.

3. Color Protection

Choose a mask formulated to protect color-treated hair, which helps maintain your desired shade and prevents brassiness. Some masks also include purple pigments to neutralize yellow tones.

4. Free From Harsh Chemicals

Opt for masks that are free of sulfates, parabens, and silicones to avoid further stressing bleached hair. Gentle formulas are less likely to cause irritation or strip away essential oils.
