Women who highlight their hair, like I do, know that a rich, hydrating hair masque is as necessary as a good colorist. Keeping the shine and softness of uncolored tresses is an uphill battle: just when you’ve conditioned your way out of total dryness, its time for another trip to the salon. I tried the Pureology Nano Works Restorative Treatment ($45, was $75.00) during the driest days in my hair cycle, and was totally impressed. Used like a regular conditioner 2-3 times per week, the treatment, which is specially formulated for color-treated hair, quickly brought mine back from the brink. The cream comes with a large toothed comb, which allows you to coat every strand, and only needs to stay on for 3-5 minutes to get the job done. Unlike other masques that call for up to 15-20 minutes, Pureology’s treatment leaves enough time to have great hair, and a life.
