Discover our recommendations for the perfect mask to suit your hair type, tone and concerns – whether you’re a blondie in need of nourishing colour protection, or a curly girl looking for an ultra-quenching, definition-boosting formula for your springiest look to date.
Best for dry hair
Dry hair your cross to bear? Not to worry! If you haven’t yet heard of Hair Gain, it’s time to broaden your beauty horizons, because they certainly know a thing or two about growing longer, stronger, healthy-looking strands. We love the brand’s Hair Mask for its ultra-hydrating and nourishing properties, wrapping dry manes in much-needed moisture from root to tip for lustrous, supple and shiny results every time.
Best for oily hair
If you find your hair is oilier than most, we recommend a purifying mask to help banish the look of excess sebum on your strands. L'Oréal Professionnel Advanced Anti-Oiliness 2-in-1 Deep Purifier Clay Hair Mask is a multi-purpose treatment powered by 6% fine-grained active clay, working overtime to decongest clogged follicles from the scalp that can lead to dirt, oil and sweat build-up.
Best for curly hair
Curly hair might require a little extra TLC, but moisturising to the max has never been easier than with Nature Spell Curl Enhancing Mask. After going viral on TikTok for results-driven rosemary oil, the brand is known for creating quality formulas for all hair types – and this hair mask is no exception! Promoting strong, defined and ultra-nourished curls, the mask is rich in marula oil, murumuru butter and rice water to help boost moisture levels and prevent breakage on curl types 3A-4C.
Best for damaged/breakage-prone hair
Restoring strength? Check. Added shine? Check. Improved elasticity? Check! Perfect for hair that’s no stranger to bleaching, colouring, chemical services, heat or mechanical styling, the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask works to revert your tresses back to their healthy default setting. It’s perfect for all hair types, powered by the brand’s K18PEPTIDE™ technology to help offset the look of damage while re-establishing softness, smoothness, strength and vitality to weakened, breakage-prone strands.
Best for blonde hair
Want unbreakable blonde locks? L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Blondifier Mask is perfect for bright and highlighted hair, enriched with non-stripping, polyphenols-rich acai berry extract to help replenish and smoothen the hair fibre – all while protecting the vitality of your colour-treated tresses!
Best for dull hair
Seal in your shine with L’Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss Rinse-Off Treatment. Dull, porous hair types, prepare to marvel at this glycolic acid-powered, rinse-off treatment – it works to promote a super glossy, extra-smooth appearance while visibly strengthening and softening every strand. Perfect for restoring life to locks that have lost their lustre!
Best for hair growth
