Our hair can take a beating from the cold and wind during winter, leaving it dry, brittle and rather dull. Incorporating something as simple as a hair mask into your beauty routine can make a significant difference.
Shoppers and experts are full of praise for the Hair Gain Hair Mask (180ml), a Marie Claire hair care award winner. You can purchase it as a one-off for £31.99 or subscribe to receive one every 30 days for £25.59 (reduced from £31.99).
It's filled with beneficial ingredients - no parabens or sulphates - and includes an ingredient named AnaGain that Hair Gain claims is scientifically engineered to stimulate hair growth and enhance your follicles. It has even decreased hair breakage and hair loss by up to 60% from the first use when used in conjunction with the Hair Gain Scalp Foam (£31.99 for a single purchase).

Not only does the hair mask promote growth, it also leaves your hair feeling glossy, lush and extremely moisturised thanks to the addition of panthenol, essentially a hair conditioning agent. As reported by the Express, you simply apply it to clean, damp hair, massage it from root to tip, and leave it in for 10 minutes before rinsing off. Hair Gain suggests doing this once or twice a week for optimal results.
With an impressive average of 4.4 stars across 384 reviews, the Hair Gain Hair Mask is a hit with customers. One satisfied user commented: "This hair mask is completely worth the price. I have never seen and felt such a difference in my hair from a hair mask after the first use. I have quite an itchy scalp and honestly after one use of this it was pretty much gone. My hair also felt so much healthier and softer and nourished."

Hair Gain)A second impressed customer wrote: "Absolutely love the Hair Gain mask, my hair feels so much healthier using this product and I have had a lot of new hair growth which is making my hair feel a lot thicker. My hair has been shocking since having my second baby and literally coming out in chunks when I was brushing it and I really do think Hair Gain has helped and would definitely recommend to others."
One buyer, however, noted patience is needed, as they explained: "Don't expect miracles overnight, like some clearly are doing. Don't expect your hair to immediately double in length the moment you rinse it off... this is 'long game' stuff. This is not Jack and the Beanstalk."
Meanwhile, another happy shopper shared: "Love this. Since using the Hair Gain mask, I have received so many compliments. My hair feels thicker and has a lot more life to my very fine hair. I've always struggled to give my fine blonde hair body but this mask is amazing. I love the smell and texture. I've been telling all my friends to try it."
Trichologist and Hair Stylist Rachel Valentine has emphasised the importance of hair care, saying: "It's so important to look after the hair that we have and the new hair coming through, and I love to do that by a deep conditioning treatment. I love the Hair Gain one in particular because you can apply to it your scalp and your ends... Keeps hair looking fuller, stronger, shinier and way easier to manage."
For those seeking a more budget-friendly hair mask, Valentine also mentions the Superdrug Hair Wrap Mask Aloe available for £2.99. Additionally, there's the Grow Gorgeous Intense Thickening Hair and Scalp Mask for £17.50, reduced from £25, although there is no subscription service option.
