If you are a little hard on your hair and need some deep treatment therapy, snatch up one of these hair masks for your hair.
All of the masks below work really good and our suggestions are for specific needs based on how these masks perform but you can’t go wrong with any of these in our opinion.
THE BEST DRUGSTORE MASK FOR DRY DAMAGED HAIR + THE BEST DRUGSTORE HAIR MASK FOR SPLIT ENDS
L’Oreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm is great for hair that’s been fried, dyed and laid to the side one too many times. If you have weak ends and brittle strands, you can benefit from this mask. It helps to repair and constructs dry, chemically treated hair as well as untreated curly hair. The smell is also divine.
Another great option is also L’Oreal Power Moisture Moisture Rush Masque which is formulated with hyaluronic acid–an uber humectant that can hold 1000 times it’s weight in water.
Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisture Deep Conditioning Treatment is a really great conditioner that goes on to your hair with a very lightweight feel but still leaves your hair feeling moisturized after you rinse it out. It really hydrates your hair and makes it feel super soft for days after. This is great for those who want an effective conditioner but dislike thicker formulations or want their curls to feel more “airy” yet still moisturized.
Jojoba oil mimics natural scalp sebum and moisturizes dry hair and Phyto Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask is formulated with both jojoba and 75% angelica extract. This deep conditioning works by restructuring your hair’s protective film, which helps your to hair retain moisture.
Baboab, yucca and biotin make up some of the great ingredients in the Shea Moisture Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Masque.

This is an all-natural intensive treatment masque that’s great for hair that needs special attention–from split ends to color treated or just plain dry hair. It’s thick mask so it may be too heavy for those with fine, wavy hair but girls with thicker hair and tighter curls need to snatch this up, pronto because you can also use it as a leave-in. It’s also pretty green with no sulfates, parabens, phthalates, paraffin, gluten, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, synthetic color, DEA or animal testing.

THE BEST DRUGSTORE HAIR MASK FOR FINE HAIR
A salon brand favorite that’s made it way to drugstores (yay!) K?rastase Nutritive Masquintense is the business. It’s a very highly concentrated nourishing treatment for dry, extremely sensitized, fine hair. The glucides, protides and lipides work together to melt away tangles, knots and restore fine hair by adding moisture and nutrients without weighing your hair down and replenishing lost body and volume.
Klorane Hair Mask with Papyrus Milk penetrates your hair and delivers very smooth, voluminous hair. Rich in fatty acids and polar lipids, papyrus milk helps to seal in moisture and leaves behind a light, delicate scent that lasts.
THE BEST DRUGSTORE HAIR MASK FOR CURLY HAIR
Though the jar looks small, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask lasts a long time becaue you don’t need much to coat your hair. It’s made with olive and sweet almond oil so for those who need oils in their deep conditioners, as all curly-haired women do, this is a great choice and a good all around mask to keep on standby.
Like the Neutrogena mask, Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deeeeep Conditioner is a good mask to grab if you don’t have many options. It’s been around about 20 years and works wonders on thick curly hair. The formulation is thick and creamy which makes detangling much easier and many women even use this as a leave-in because it leaves your hair so soft. The bottle says three minutes but leaving it in longer does not hurt at all and seems to make coarse hair even hair softer. The price is so low that you may want to grab a few.
THE BEST DRUGSTORE HAIR MASK FOR BLEACHED HAIR (OR COLOR TREATED)
L’Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Color Care System Moisture Restorative Hair Masque moisturizes well without building up and locks in your color for up to 32 washes. The UV filters help protect your color-treated hair against sun damage.
