Masque( 900) on the
lengths and ends. The
possibilities are virtually
endless, but it’s helpful to
keep this in mind: Masks
rich in silicones and
butters tend to be heavier,
which makes them ideal
for use on the mid lengths
and lower if you’ve got
medium or thick hair or
just on ends if you have
fi ne hair.

SleepingMask( 480) is a
coconut-oil-based formu-
la—you wear it overnight,
and the protective plastic
bonnet that comes with it
keeps the mask from
greasing up your pillow.
But the potential benefi ts
of ingredients left on hair
overnight are so promising
that brands are furiously
working on new and even
better treatments. Soon
“there’ll be a new genera-
tion of sleeping masks for
hair,” says Wilson.
“They’ll be so light that
you can comb them on and
then just towel them off in
the morning. They’ll
contain microparticles that
make their way inside your
hair by morning to repair
damage, such as mending
split ends.” Sounds like
skincare will have some
catching up to do. ■LAYERSERUMS

By now you know how
serious we are about hair
care—we even ensure what
touches it is loving enough.
For a true beauty sleep, rest
your head on a pure silk
pillow. They’re hypoaller-
genic and anti-bacterial, and
will take the frizz out of your
morning-after mane. Our
favourites: pillowcases from
Dame Essentials and Slip.SWITCH TO A
MICELLAR
SHAMPOO
There are 5 bajillion (give
or take) micellar products
for your face, and now hair
care is catching up. And for
good reason—micelles are
gentle cleansers, whether
they’re in a make-up
remover or a shampoo.
“They don’t strip away as
many of your natural oils
as traditional surfactants,”
says cosmetic chemist
Ni’Kita Wilson. “In
shampoos, they get your
hair clean without drying it
out.” They do take some
getting used to, however:
“Micellar shampoos don’t
lather much, but the lather
is never what cleans hair
anyway,” says Wilson.
“They make your hair
bouncier by cleansing it
without stripping, and
they’re good for all hair
types—curly, straight,
coarse, fi ne.” Try Schwar-
