Sisley's Hair Riture is arguably the best thing for hair since the invention of dry shampoo. As with Sisley's skincare and makeup, this line is full of carefully selected, healthy ingredients that take luxury hair care to a whole new level. The line uses nourishing oils, minerals, vitamins, and natural extracts to not only treat and style hair, but also balance the scalp for an itch-free life.

One of the newest additions to the hair ritual, Restructuring Nourishing Balm (opens in new tab), is an upgrade from the standard, previous hair mask. The product is infused with delicious oils, including shea, moringa, macadamia, and innovative Sisley technology, to repair damaged hair and provide much-needed moisture.

Damaged hair and I have been dealing with it for years and years. When I was younger, I used to take my trendy flat iron up to 450 degrees Celsius to get flat, wave-free hair. Sadly, split ends, dryness, and breakage are commonplace for me because I could never disassociate myself from hair dryers and heat styling tools. As the owner of naturally wavy or curly hair (which varies from day to day), I have relied on heat tools to bring consistency to my routine. Curly hair tends to dehydrate easily, and when my styling addiction is added to the mix, it causes hair that bounces, has split ends for days, and is generally uninspired.

No wonder I got hooked on hair masks to ease the pain. When Sisley's Hair Retuel launched this version, I had to give it a try. My expectation was that this product would be nice enough and wouldn't cause any problems, but ultimately wouldn't give me any lasting results. Even as a hair mask lover, I have to admit that sometimes it feels more like a fun pastime than an effective treatment. When I twisted off the lid of this hair balm, the first thing I noticed was the texture. As a mask connoisseur, I had imagined an ordinary cream. But instead, this balm was like petroleum jelly, a texture I had never encountered in a hair mask. When I parted my hair and applied it from the middle to the ends, the jelly turned into oil and soaked into my hair. I left it on overnight, but you could also just leave it on for 30 minutes. My hair became silky, moisturized, and frizz-free. After gazing lovingly at the ends of my hair, which no longer felt like straw, I picked up the hair dryer and got to work. I knew that this mask would repair the damage.
