Shine Up Dull Hair With One of These 22 Healthy Hair Masks

1. VERB Ghost Hair Mask

BEST FOR FINE HAIR

Hoping to moisturize your fine hair without weighing it down? VERB Ghost Hair Mask has you covered. Nourishing moringa seed oil is this mask's superstar ingredient, which works to provide a blast of hydration from root to tip. The best part is, it won't leave behind any residue or add weight to your hair. "This mask was hydrating to my dull hair. I was happy it didn't feel heavy when applying," raves Ipster @PrivacyIsNumber1. But it's not only those with fine hair who can benefit from this mask. Those who struggle with frizz and dullness will find this 5-minute mask is a strand savior.

2. USE ME HAIR Wave + Curl Cream

BEST FOR WAVY HAIR

There are products for straight strands and there are products for curly coils—but products crafted for naturally wavy hair can be a bit harder to come by. We love the wave-defining effects of this OUTRÉ BY USE ME Wave + Curl Cream. It can be used as a styling cream to keep the frizz at bay. "This did a nice job of keeping my hair wavy without being stiff," says Ipster @czegers13. And the benefits don't stop there. This cream packs quite the hydrating punch with ingredients like aloe vera leaf and vitamin C.

3. NUUVO HAIRCARE Mega Moisture Argan Mask

BEST FOR STRAIGHT FROM THE SALON STRANDS

There is no better feeling than walking out of the salon with refreshed, rejuvenated hair. But what if we told you that you could achieve that feeling at home? Yup, it’s all thanks to NUUVO HAIRCARE’s Mega Moisture Argan Mask. Strengthening argan oil, moisturizing coconut oil, and conditioning shea butter combine to deliver a treatment that'll leave your hair feeling softer than ever. Ipster @stephanie__ox shares, "This left my hair feeling silky smooth and baby soft. It’s amazing." Given how infrequent trips to the salon have become, this is a fantastic mask to keep in your cabinet for days when you want to treat yourself.

4. FOXYBAE HAIR 12-in-1 Magic Daily Leave In Hair Mask

BEST FOR DAILY USE

Twelve—yes, that's right—12 unique, lush butters, oils, and proteins come together to make this leave-in treatment exactly what dreams are made of. Ipster @bsnowdya notes, "It left my hair shiny and my ends moisturized on 3-day old hair." Though this mask may feel like somewhat of a fantasy, it's real all right. Whereas you're advised to let other hair masks work their magic once or twice a week, this luxurious treatment can be applied daily to repair damage, prevent frizz, and boost shine.

5. KENRA PROFESSIONAL Platinum Restorative Reconstructor

BEST FOR OVERPROCESSED HAIR

We have all done our fair share of damage to our hair. From bleaching it more than once to using heat tools on it regularly, your hair deserves a little pick-me-up. Luckily, you can find that in this KENRA PROFESSIONAL Platinum Restorative Reconstructor. Dry, brittle strands are no match for the revolutionary Keratin Amino Acid Technology, which strengthens your hair and restores broken bonds caused by years of damage. "My hair was instantly shiny and softer on the first application," notes Ipster @brendap83. Oftentimes, using keratin too often can do more harm than good. However, that's not the case with this mask. You can use it as often as once or twice a week to repair your hair.

6. NEON & CO. Hair & Scalp Mask

BEST MULTITASKING TREATMENT

Hair masks are almost always designed just to target your hair... obviously. When you want to give some love to your scalp, you'll generally have to use another product. For those who want a hair mask that does both, NEON & CO. Hair & Scalp Mask is calling your name. Keratin proteins and silk amino acids come together to nourish your hair cuticle, further protecting it from damage. Ipster @anniehoffmann had this to say of the mask: "My hair was so dry, I thought it was beyond repair. I used this product and immediately noticed a huge difference. My hair became hydrated and perfect. Love it. I will buy this product." For your scalp, this clean formula helps prevent thinning and dandruff by restoring your scalp's microflora balance. We know that’s a lot of technical terms, but trust us when we say your scalp will never feel better.

7. NELSON J BEVERLY HILLS Moisture Healing Mask

MOST VERSATILE MASK

Sometimes you really want a product that does it all. Enter the NELSON J BEVERLY HILLS Moisture Healing Mask. When it comes to the number of ways you can use this mask to heal your strands, the limit does not exist. Short on time? Use it as a 60-second hair fix. Want a deeper treatment? Crank up the hot water and let the steam help this mask penetrate your stands to moisturize them. Ipster @damaris46r could not stop gushing about their experience with this mask: "Omg, I loved it so much, it made my hair feel so soft and smell so good! I used it daily and just a small amount worked wonderful."

8. TRISSOLA Intense Hydrating Mask

BEST FOR IMPROVING MANAGEABILITY

Dry weather and hot tools can wreak havoc on your hair, especially if you use them frequently. The TRISSOLA Intense Hydrating Mask is packed with nourishing essential oils including avocado oil to breathe new life into your hair by repairing damage. Ipster @ringing3 shares that their "dry hair turns to silk with this."

9. OUTRÉ BY USE ME Wave + Curl Cream

BEST FOR DRY STRANDS

You’ve heard of CBD in skincare and supplements, but did you know it’s great for your hair, too? This non-psychoactive hemp compound is a healthy hair powerhouse. Like a super-powered conditioner, CBD strengthens, protects, smooths, and softens all hair types—straight, wavy, curly, or coily—for the healthiest hair ever. “I have dry, curly hair that can feel straw-like even after conditioning and this mask worked wonders! It helped the elasticity to limit breakage and made it soft enough to easily detangle,” says Ipster @anw15e. The star ingredient is also famously anti-inflammatory, working to bond with receptors in your nervous system to help soothe inflammatory responses (bye bye dry, itchy scalp).

10. OBLIPHICA PROFESSIONAL Seaberry Hair Mask

BEST FOR LIGHTWEIGHT MOISTURE

Fine hair types, meet your mask match. Inspired by skincare, this hydrating mask is all about performance-driven ingredients that deliver the hydration you need without weighing hair down. It’s formulated with a high concentration of nourishing seaberry oil (rich in omegas and vitamin E) and superfoods that are packed with antioxidants. The result? Follicles get a boost to help stimulate growth while your hair gets a shiny, healthy #goodhairday makeover.

11. FOXYBAE HAIR Don't Hate, Hydrate Hair Mask + Biotin

BEST FOR HEAT DAMAGED HAIR

Blow dryers and heat tools are notoriously harsh on hair, so it needs extra love after we put them through it. “I absolutely love this hair mask! My hair is dry and damaged and it makes it feel so healthy,” writes Ipster @courtneykirby22. With nourishing horse chestnut and strengthening biotin, this deep conditioning mask helps to repair stressed strands and protect it from future damage. Plus, conditioning shea butter will smooth any hat hair frizzies or tangles that come your way.

12. ST. TROPICA Beach Goddess Hot Oil Hair Mask

BEST FOR LONG-LASTING SHINE

While we may not be able to head to a tropical island quite yet, we can at least give our hair the vacay it deserves. Warm this coconut oil-based mask up (a quick pop in the microwave does the trick) for a luxurious hair treatment during any night in. Coconut oil is full of fatty acids and vitamins that will strengthen, soften, and bring on shine. Ipster @arwenssong attests to the game-changing treatment: “I have severely damaged hair from bleach, and this hot oil treatment was a total lifesaver.”

13. ORIBE HAIR CARE Serene Scalp Soothing Leave-On Treatment

BEST FOR DRY SCALP

Hair masks aren’t just for the lengths of your hair—they can be majorly beneficial for your scalp, too. Dead skin, product buildup (we’re looking at you, dry shampoo), and oils can irritate our scalps and follicles, so this clarifying treatment is a dream come true. Peppermint and chamomile extracts calm and soothe (and feel ahh-mazing) to help restore your scalp’s natural moisture balance. “My scalp has been very dry lately, due to the colder weather, and this helped tremendously,” writes one Ipster. And don’t worry if you just got a fresh dye job—this leave-on formula is safe for color-treated hair.

14. BRIOGEO HAIR CARE Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Mask

BEST FOR COLOR-TREATED HAIR

Talk about a powerhouse of nutrients! The star ingredients in this mask include avocado, kiwi, spinach, chia seed extract, and cocoa seed butter—and no, we’re not reading out the ingredients of our green smoothie. This heavy-hitting mask gives your hair the nourishment it needs by locking in moisture deep within the hair shaft, making it perfect for anyone with color-treated, bleached, or heat-styled hair. As one Ipster writes, “My hair isn't damaged but does get dyed often. This mask was so soft on my hair and it smells great!” Say goodbye to frizz and flyaways and hello to mirror-like shine.

15. MARC ANTHONY Grow Long Restoring Anti-Breakage Mask

BEST FOR WARDING OFF BREAKAGE

At-home life has brought a few uninvited guests into our bubble: breakage, tangles, and split-ends. Luckily, this mask is here to keep hair healthy during these long stretches without the tender loving care of our fave hair stylists. Caffeine, ginseng extract, and vitamin E nourish hair from the inside out to help improve elasticity, so your strands can grow long and strong. “This product helped my long hair so much! I saw a reduction in breakage, and it helped my frizzy hair to calm down. It feels like silk going on, and you can feel the results for days,” writes Ipster, @scruffae.

BEST ALL-OVER TREATMENT

Need a serious hair fix ASAP? No time to schedule an appointment with your hairstylist? That’s where this instant hair treatment from 12 BENEFITS comes in. This hair treatment hydrates, smoothes frizz, seals up split ends, softens brittle strands, and improves your hair’s overall texture in a pinch. “This stuff is amazing,” wrote one Ipster. “It really helps to reduce frizz and it makes my hair so shiny.” Going swimming?

20. GRACE & STELLA Rescue My Hair Mask

BEST FOR STIMULATING GROWTH

If you have dried out, damaged hair, this nourishing mask from GRACE & STELLA delivers all the hydration and revitalization your hair needs to shine again. Argan oil moisturizes your scalp, sunflower seed oil mends breakage, and vitamin-packed guava fruit extract stimulates hair growth. If that ingredient list doesn’t help you make up your mind, maybe this review from Ipster @femmedecoeur will: “This one actually delivers! It literally gave me a good hair day when I was having a kind of bad hair season! Very impressed!”

21. THEORIE Detoxifying Hair Mask

BEST FOR CLARIFYING

Sometimes it’s deep-conditioning time; sometimes it’s deep clean time. Charcoal works wonders to purify the face as well as the scalp, as evidenced by this bamboo charcoal detoxifying mask from THEORIE. Ipster @byrdv0827 wrote, “Love the smell. Made my hair feel so soft and was very shiny!” With nourishing shea butter and strengthening bamboo extract, your scalp and your hair are happy and healthy. Tiny, granulated bits of charcoal give this hair mask an exfoliating texture that allows it to remove dirt, build-up, and impurities from every last strand.

22. LUSETA BEAUTY Argan Oil Hair Masque

BEST FOR RESTORING MOISTURE LEVELS

There’s truly nothing like argan oil to quench dry hair’s thirst and LUSETA BEAUTY puts the moisturizing, vitamin E-packed ingredient at the forefront of their treatment masque.

SOOO SMOOTH FEELING! <3” Pro tip: apply a liberal amount of this deep conditioner after you shampoo your hair, leave in for 5 minutes, and then rinse out with cold water to keep moisture locked in your cuticles.
