Indulge in these products for soft and shiny locks
Written by Kelly Carbone, Jessica Fields
During these colder transitional months many are keen on taking care of moisturizing our skin but people often forget to take care of another highly important area: our hair. The cold weather can take just as much of a toll on drying out our hair and scalp as it does our skin, and daily hair-washing routines can add even further to this dryness. However, there is a simple step you can add to your hair care routine that will help add a little hydration and give your hair that extra boost it really needs to shine: a hair mask. Check out the many forms of hair masks below to help keep your hair healthy and stylish.
1) Gloss Moderne Clean Luxury Masque
As one of the most expensive masks on this list, and with luxury in its name, this is a truly decadent product that doesn’t disappoint. This mask is pretty thick and, thanks to its blend of shea butter and papaya extract, it is deeply hydrating and smells amazing. Massage into wet, freshly shampooed hair twice a month and leave in for 5 minutes before rinsing for best results. It’s the perfect splurge.
2) Bb Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil
This pre-shampoo mask is geared more towards people willing to invest a little time in their hair care routine. Apply the mask to dry hair and let sit for 20 minutes before rinsing and following up with your normal shampoo and conditioner. The balm-to-oil formula as well as the six oils released in the process will leave you feeling truly pampered and leave your locks nice and moisturized.
3) SheaMoisture Treatment Masque For Dry Hair Jamaican Black Castor Oil
There’s a reason this mask is a holy grail product across the internet. Its rich cream is formulated with incredible ingredients like black castor oil and shea butter to deeply condition and moisturize hair. Perfect for both natural and chemically treated hair, this mask strengthens hair yielding seriously soft and hydrated locks.
4) Rita Hazan Weekly Remedy Treatment
This two-step mask is the perfect choice for color-treated hair. It claims to both help fight frizz and amplify color and is completely free of parabens. Although more than one treatment is involved it’s still extremely easy to use. Apply treatment 1 to hair after using shampoo and then rinse and apply treatment 2 to hair, again rinsing immediately. The dual process allows your hair to absorb the nutrients from the mask and then seal it for ultimate hydration and recovery.
5) Amika Soulfoood Nourishing Mask
Don’t be fooled by the airy texture of this creamy mask. It packs an intense punch of hydration and is perfect for all hair types especially color treated hair. It’s light enough to use as a conditioner or try using weekly, letting it sit and deeply penetrate for some time before rinsing.
6) Kiehls Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairative Hair Pak
This reparative hair mask is most ideal for strands that have seen a little too much heat and are in need of some gentle care and tlc. Not only does this hair pak nourish and strengthen it also adds shine. Super ingredients like avocado and olive oil come together to restore and moisturize without weighing your tresses down.
7) Pattern Intensive Conditioner
Formulated with powerful natural ingredients like avocado oil, safflower oil and shea butter this rich mask was made for intense deep conditioning. An editor favorite, this conditioner protects against breakage and will leave your curls defined and ultra hydrated.
This deep-conditioning mask is applied once a week to damp hair after it's been freshly shampooed and is left on for 5 minutes for best results. The combination of babaso oil and glycerin make it extra hydrating without leaving a greasy residue.
9) Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Night Cap

10) Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask
Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask is the perfect option if you’re short on time. In just a few moments this argan oil based conditioner smoothes hair to improve manageability and overall health.
