Budget Beauty for $10 or Less: Hask Hair Masks

April 11th, 2019 by Karen 24 Comments

hask hair mask
You’re killing me slowly, Papyrus.

Hooray for budget beauty! In this new series, we talk about sweet finds you can get for $10 or less.

You guys! I’m sitting here running my fingers through my hair thinking, “All this softness for $1.99. ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE PENNIES,” because last night I did a Hask hair mask. They have a few different versions, and I used the Coconut Oil one. Now my hair feels silky soft, but not in the way that feels like your hair is coated in sedimentary layers of silicone… The tangles and knots are gone, and the obnoxious white ramen noodle flyaways in my hairline — which normally stick up at every unfortunate angle you can imagine — are relatively tame and smooth and lying in one direction (SAY WHAT?!).

Inactive ingredients
Aqua/Water/Eau, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Quaternium-18, Gardenia Taitensis (Monoi) Flower Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Fruit Extract, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Panthenyl Hydroxypropyl Steardimonium Chloride, Isopropyl Palmitate, Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids, Silk Amino Acids, Sodium Pca, Tetrasodium Edta, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Chlorphenesin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum/Fragrance

If your hair is feeling dry and/or in need of some serious TLC, all you need is 10 minutes and a generous coating of this thick conditioner. I’ve got a lot of’ mane at the moment (Side note: Please talk me out of chopping it all off into a bob because I’m THIS CLOSE.), and I get about three uses from each package. If you buy them at Target, they’re $1.99 a pack (a little more expensive at Ulta: $2.99).

Maaaaaan. If Hask sold this by the gallon, I’d spring for one, for sure. It’s also cruelty-free and doesn’t have any sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, alcohol or artificial colors.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I only use this brand’s shampoo and conditioner (Monoi Coconut Oil). It’s the best! Also, I’ve tried their hair masks and they are awesome. You can’t beat it for the price.

      I’ll have to give their shampoo and conditioner one of these days. On the list for the next Target trip!

    I was going to place an order from Target so I’m going to check these out. Thanks for the heads up.
    Have you ever had a bob before? If not, please do not chop your hair off into a bob, it does not solve problems. In fact I think (yes, just my personal opinion) that it makes things less versatile. I’m not a fan of messy bobs, so there is endless blow drying to get them to sit nicely. And depending on how short you go, there’s no ponytail to get it out of your face. Just barrettes or headbands. If I had a lush mane like yours, I’d keep it long. Just my humble opinion.

      I had on in college and through some weird hair amnesia always forget that it was a massive pain in the butt! It was out of control and I had to do so much to get it to loo nice. Thank you for the reality check, LOL!

        Maybe the next time you see Alice (sp? Alys?), your hairstylist, when you’re in the chair before she starts cutting, just discuss what’s driving you batty about your hair and what you think you want to do. And then see if she has some ideas for working with your hair texture to get it more in line with what you want. It sounds like she knows you pretty well and can make good suggestions and stop you from doing something drastic that you may end up hating more.
        Just sayin,… cuz I’ve been there. Broke up with a guy and went from below the shoulder hair to a pixie cut.

          Good idea. I think part of my frustration is I haven’t had the chance to get a cut (she flies back and forth between Las Vegas and the Bay Area) and my hair has passed the point of no return. The other part is I’m still having a hard time adjusting to seeing all the grays. It’s been an interesting experiment so far but I don’t know how much longer I can do it (side note: I cried about it yesterday. I’ve been crying a lot lately, it seems).

          I think ultimately I’m a long hair kinda person, though!

          Thank you for reminding me to proceed with caution, seriously, I appreciate it!

            To me it doesn’t sound like the cut is what’s bothering you as much as the gray. It’s important to think about what’s really bugging you and what you like before you take action.
            Even though I embraced my gray and enjoy it now, I will admit I didn’t stop coloring it until I was 50ish, maybe even a little after that.
            I can remember being 9 yrs. old and going out with my mom and some guy says to her, “That’s really nice that you’ve taken your granddaughter out with you today.” My mom was so upset when we got home. But she never colored her hair. I have a cousin who is 78 yrs. old and she still colors her hair blonde and wouldn’t be caught with gray hair. To each, their own.
            And are you really crying about the hair? Or is life getting you down? Or is it just hormones? Lol. Email me if you want to chat.

    Congrats! That really is a bargain. I’m struggling a bit with my hair too. You know the drill (for me). The shampoo with the best volumizing results dries out my hair (even with conditioner) and the one that cleans gently leaves me looking like a greasy rat. HAHA!

    Don’t cut your hair into a bob. Or do. Whatever you like! It’s just hair – it’ll grow back. And you’d be beautiful, even if you were bald. 🙂 That said, I’ve been going through old pictures and I think I finally learned that any short hair cut is B.A.D. on me.

    PS Speaking of, I think I already suggested regularly organizing your photos. And the added benefit is that when Connor is 16 and ungrateful and horribly mean to you, you can text her random pics of the 2 of you happily snuggling when she was young. To remind her that she should be cherishing the immense love you’ve always heaped upon her. Not speaking from personal experience or anything. 😉

      I have a TON of pics. How do you organize yours?

        I try to have them all by date but then have separate folders for “events”, xmas cards by year, by sport or activity (hiking, etc), location if it’s a day trip or vacation and all-time favorites. It’s repetitive and takes up space but it’s easier to sort. For the special folders, I also try to rename the files so I can tell immediately what the pic is by the file name (instead of IMG****). I am also very open to suggestions. The boys loved their 16th b’day slide show so I’m sure I’ll do more in the next couple of years. I need to go back and group the really old ones.

    I picked up some HASK last year, a small bottle for traveling, and I was blown away by how good the conditioner was.

    I discovered these a few years ago in Oz, and now always stock up. I’ve tried a few different ones but the monoi coconut has the best scent. Between me and my sister, we stocked up 7 bottles on a recent trip (they’re not sold where we live). And yes, they do make them in bigger sizes.

      I used that one last night! I have about a third of the packet left. I’ll have to see if I can get it in the bottle!

    Hm! I’ve seen these around but never checked them out. Might have to put them on the list… just dabbed a touch of oil on my ends today and even with 3 drops went overboard, SMDH. I’m still (this is a forever-project) trying to figure out how to not wash my hair daily yet also not smother my scalp in dry shampoo.

    And guuuurrrrlll you know I’m in camp bob! lol. You’d have to be okay with it being big (cuz your hair is so gloriously voluminous) and for your sanity it would have to be messy/loose/wavy but I think it would look SO CUTE. <3

      I have the same issue with oil. I’ve found that I do better when I apply it on wet strands, have you tried that yet? For me it’s not nearly as oily or heavy.

    I’m here to defend the bob as super easy and super cute. I have a very different hair type from you though (fine, wavy and not particularly thick) so I’m not sure how it works for thicker hair. You could always try a lob first then see if you want to go shorter.

    Your hair is gorgeous, don’t cut it! And you have to style short hair so much more.

      Thanks Lisa. Honestly I think it’s because I’m having a hard time with the grays. I’m trying to grow them out but I am not feeling it at the moment!

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
