Designed for weekly use, Playa’s mask focuses on the scalp, using kaolin clay to balance it and prevent hair loss, as well as amla oil to strengthen roots and prevent greying. The brand is giving back during COVID-19 by extending a 50% discount to healthcare workers.

Living Libations is all about natural beauty, crafting its products from organic, wild-harvested herbs and essential oils. The Honey Myrtle Deep Conditioning Mask can boost damaged hair in a few ways: as a rinse-off conditioner in the shower; as a leave-on overnight mask to be rinsed in the morning; or sparingly as a styling agent, focusing on the tips.

Especially great for curly, wavy, and color-treated hair, Yarok’s mask is formulated with moisturizing botanicals (Coco Creme, Aloe Vera, Fresh Wild Harvested Seaweed Extract) and yummy-smelling essential oils to hydrate and add bounce and shine.

We love Rahua not only for its quality products but for the brand’s sustainable mission as well. The founders are dedicated to working alongside the indigenous people of the Amazon to source ingredients only from self-sustained forests, and the rahua oil is respectfully created through an ancient ceremonial process. Using this rahua oil and other plant-based ingredients, the Omega 9 Hair Mask is meant to work like an in-salon treatment at home, to be used once a week to keep hair strong and shiny.

If you’re into beauty, you’ve probably heard about Olaplex—the cult-favorite Hair Perfector No 3 works on a molecular level to repair broken bonds in hair, strengthening its structure and visibly improving its texture. This is a must for extremely dry or damaged hair.

Moroccanoil makes several different top-rated hair masks for different types: smoothing for frizzy hair, weightless hydrating for fine dry hair, intense hydrating for medium to thick dry hair. We especially like the restorative hair mask for weakened or damaged hair, featuring keratin and fatty acids to build strength and elasticity.

Curly-haired girls, this one’s for you. Bumble and Bumble’s Curl Butter promises to leave hair springy with its combo of Brazilian oils. It can be used as a rinse-off treatment in the shower after shampooing and conditioning or can be applied to dry hair before shampooing for extra impact.
