My Fine, Lifeless Hair Feels Soft and Voluminous Thanks to This 3-Minute Mask

My hair leans toward the curly side, but it's still very fine and easily weighed down by product, so I'm no stranger to tangled, flat, and limp strands. I've learned to love my natural hair, but I'm not giving up on making it look thick. While there are many tricks and hacks out there to boost volume, I like to keep my routines as minimal as possible, and NatureLab Tokyo's new Perfect Volume Hair Masque is the perfect solution.

The brand sent me a free sample of the $19 cream to try, and it didn't disappoint. Unlike many other volumizing masks that have left behind a strange residue and made my hair feel stiff, NatureLab Tokyo's formula feels weightless and leaves my hair silky and soft. I attribute this to the rice starch, rice bran, and polymers that work harmoniously to make my mane feel instantly thicker and fuller, while encouraging hair growth. The mask is a potent potion to plump and nourish strand with additional ingredients like strand strengthening and scalp balancing rosemary and sunflower extracts, conditioning glycerin, and vitamins B5 and E.

After shampooing and conditioning my tresses, I'll slather the hair mask on from root to tip, leave it on for the recommended three to five minutes, then rinse it out. I'm also surprisingly drawn to the magic mask's sweet and delicate floral scent, which has a very soothing effect on me while I'm showering. But if you're sensitive to smells, don't worry; the scent doesn't linger after washing out the solution. 

I typically let my hair air dry, and I've noticed a subtle lift at my roots. But what caught my attention the most was the smoothness of my curls. I'm prone to epic tangles and frizz, but I can tell the difference in how much more manageable my natural hair feels when using the mask.

However, the most dramatic results happen when I style my hair with some heat—specifically when using my blow dryer brush. There's a striking difference in how slick my hair feels, but I've also noticed an extra level of bounce and body that I can't usually achieve on my own.

NatureLab Tokyo's Perfect Volume Hair Masque is a fine-haired girl's best friend if you're seeking density, conditioning, and a noticeable difference in height like me. Grab the new formula for just $19. I also encourage you to check out the brand’s other fabulous products below.
