Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Davines masks cater to curly hair, dry strands, damaged tresses, fine hair, and everything in between.

Hair masks are the miracle-making heroes of any haircare routine. Whether your hair has been damaged from summer sun or years of bleaching or simply needs a little pampering, masks are a quick solution with noticeable results. Though there are many masks out there, different hair types all deserve specifically formulated masks.

SHINE-BOOSTING MASKS FOR
COLOURED HAIR

COLOURED HAIR

Coloured hair is any hair that’s dyed or cosmetically coloured. It’ll look shiny and strong when it’s healthy, whereas damaged coloured hair may appear dull and in need of reviving.

The right mask will help restore shine and bounce that may have been affected after colouring. Anyone who bleaches their hair will find that a good mask will help repair damage, maintain the hue, and protect the integrity of the hair.

If you colour your hair…

MINU Hair Mask (₱1,750)

Try the award-winning MINU Hair Mask. It targets tangles and dehydration by nourishing hair with caper extract, leaving it much softer and silkier than before. It’s great at protecting that perfect colour you and your colourist worked so hard to get, too.

If you have dull coloured hair…

The Spotlight Circle (₱400)

Bring back the shine and keep your colour looking fresh with The Circle Chronicles’ Spotlight Circle. Its thick texture pacts plenty of nourishing power but won’t leave the hair feeling heavy or greasy—just soft and silky.

If you have bleached or highlighted hair...

Intense Treatment (₱1,495)

Blondes and chemically-treated tresses need gentle but impactful formulas. Providing everything these hair types need is the Heart of Glass Intense Treatment. It brightens, strengthens, and protects the colour through its unique Biacidic bond complex.

NOURISHING MASKS FOR
DAMAGED HAIR

Damaged hair might worry you, but don’t stress—it’s completely possible to fix. Unsure if your hair is damaged? It typically looks dry and dull or lacking its usual shape. You might see split ends, extra frizz, and breakage, too.

There are several factors that can lead to your hair feeling less than its best. Chemical treatments (like bleaching), hot tools, chlorine, and salt as well as sun exposure can lead to damage. A heat protectant and protective styling products are always good to have on hand, but once damage is present, a mask is a wonderful solution.

If you have heavily damaged hair…

NOURISHING Vegetarian Miracle Mask

NOURISHING Vegetarian Miracle Mask (₱2,000)

Treat it with Naturaltech Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Mask. It moisturises hair and makes it much easier to comb after days (or months) of tangles and dryness. This mask seals cuticles thanks to a blend of vegetal keratin, rice protein, and amino acids.

If you use hot tools frequently…

The Renaissance Circle (₱400)

Revitalise hair with The Circle Chronicles’ Renaissance Circle. Routinely using hot tools means hair might be feeling a little dull and brittle. This particular mask will boost shine and nurse hair back to health.

If you bleach, perm, or relax your hair…

NOUNOU Hair Mask (₱1,750)

Opt for the NOUNOU Hair Mask. Vitamin E and other antioxidants are present to leave hair feeling silky and refreshed. Even if you typically feel weighed down by thicker products, NOUNOU will do no such thing.

SMOOTHING HAIR MASKS FOR
FRIZZY HAIR

FRIZZY HAIR

Frizz typically appears when hair is exposed to different kinds of weather, environmental factors, or damage. It manifests as flyaways and unruly strands that poke out around your head—often forming a “halo” effect.

Though it might feel annoying, it’s possible to tame. When equipped with the right mask, you can smooth out frizz and make flyaways much more manageable thanks to the special blends of ingredients.

If you have wavy or curly hair…

LOVE Curl Mask (₱1,750)

Coat hair in a layer of the LOVE Curl Mask. Anyone with thick hair or curls and coils often needs a little more power from their products than those with finer hair. This mask hydrates and revamps the elasticity of your tresses.

If you have frizz but are short on time…

LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask (₱1,750)

Look no further than the 30-second LOVE Smoothing Instant Mask. Quicker than your typical conditioner, this mask works immediately, taming hair that seemingly has a mind of its own.

If your hair is frizzy and rough…

OI Hair Butter (₱1,800)

Occasionally frizz can go hand-in-hand with rough texture. To restore softness, you can lean on the OI Hair Butter. It’s packed with antioxidants that will melt away the uneven texture and flyaways, leaving it brighter and velvety smooth.
