My $15 hair mask transformed my strands – they went from looking like dry grass to a 10/10, I wish I found it earlier
A HAIR guru wasn’t about to settle for straw-like strands.
Instead, they believed that lustrous locks were possible with the use of just one affordable buy.
A Redditor who has since deleted their account shared how they got out of their hairy situation.
“This hair mask – it’s so good. I wish I found it earlier,” they said.
Their holy grail hair buy was a Shiseido Fino Hair Mask.
And it seemed they had found the hair-saving steal just in time.
“My hair felt like dry grass yesterday,” they said.
They had initially thought the product was too good to be true for taming their tresses.
“Tried this mask I had stored away thinking it was another useless TikTok purchase,” they said.
“Towel dried, went to sleep, woke up with hair that looks 10/10,” they continued.
With a perfect score, they “highly recommended” the buy.
The Shiseido Fine Hair Mask, which sells for $14.99 on Amazon, is described as being ideal for damaged and dry hair.
The makers of the buy advised using the product, which is made in Japan and Taiwan, after rising out your shampoo.
It is also recommended to massage into hair one to two times a week.
They claim that the item helps to restore the inner and outer layers of the hair for a “shining” effect, while also adding moisture back.
Other Redditors were also raving about the find.
“It’s amazing. I got it for my daughter and I am thoroughly impressed with how silky it made my hair,” said one user.
“It’s like magic. I recommend it to everyone I know,” another reader chimed in.
“I used it as a mask a few times, but I find it works far better as a conditioner. Don’t even need to leave it in long and my wavy-curly hair is soft,” said one user.
“The nice thing about it is you don’t have to leave it on for ages for it to work,” another Redditor wrote.
One fan also commented about the price points of the famous beauty brand.
“Shiseido hair products are way more affordable than their makeup,” they said.
How does scalp massage promote hair growth?
A recent study from the Dermatology and Therapy Journal found that 69% of 340 participants self-reported an improvement in their hair loss after having scalp massages.
Another study, published in 2016, found that “scalp massage resulted in increased hair thickness 24 weeks after initiation of massage.”
So how does it work? A boost in blood circulation in the area can make a positive difference.
“When it comes to the scalp, massage can help to stimulate blood circulation and stretch the hair follicles to help promote growth,” Arran Isherwood, a Senior Trichologist Specialist at FUE Clinics, told The U.S. Sun.
Haircare expert Gaia Tonanzi agrees.
“There is some evidence that massaging your scalp can help increase blood flow, which ultimately supports healthy hair growth,” she told The U.S. Sun.
