No matter your hair type, one thing’s for sure: We could all benefit from a nourishing hair mask. Daily styling, excessive heat, environmental stressors, and changing up your hair color definitely take their toll, and a hair mask (or even a deep conditioner) is one way to give your stressed-out hair some TLC.
“All hair textures and types benefit from a mask,” celebrity hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein says. “Some people need moisture and hydration; others have weakened hair that needs strength and protein. There is a mask for every issue.” She notes that masks tend to be more nutrient dense than your average conditioner, so they’re great for that little extra boost your hair needs.
While there’s a perfect match out there for everyone, cosmetologist and expert wig maker Tamika Gibson has some tips for finding the right one. She explains that if you have fine hair, something packed with too many or too-heavy oils will weigh your hair down, while the opposite is true for those with hair on the coarser side.
“Jojoba oil and coconut oil are great lightweight oils, and for thick or coarse hair, find a mask loaded with shea butter, olive oil, and avocado oils to help seal in moisture,” she says.
Hairstyles, colors, and trends come and go, but a good hair mask is forever. Here, we’ve rounded up 17 of the very best hair masks, fitting for a range of hair textures and that treat a variety of concerns including brittle, dry, or overprocessed hair. Keep reading to learn which products you should add to your hair routine.

Best for Thick Hair
Intense Hydrating Mask
Moroccanoil
Gibson explains that you won’t get extra benefits from leaving a mask on for longer than it is intended for. “Thirty minutes is a benchmark for conditioners,” she says. “Most conditioners don’t provide any more added value after that time frame, but depending on the manufacturer’s instructions and ingredients, timing should be followed as advised.” Five to seven minutes is all you need to get the benefits of this mask. If you need a little extra boost, you can also include a few drops of Moroccanoil Treatment to the mix.

Gibson notes that your hair’s needs are always changing. “Knowing the state of your hair is key when choosing a hair mask or deep conditioner,” she says. So if your hair is in need of major hydration, then the Brazilian butters like cupuaçu, murumuru, and tucumã that are front and center in this treatment might be what you need. They offer intense hydration and resistance to future breakage.

Expert Favorite
Replenish Masque
Rubenstein uses masks quite often in her hair care routine, and this is one of her favorites. “This can be used with much more frequency than a traditional mask,” she says. “You can use it once or twice a week for improved follicle strength and to reduce thinning. The results are pretty amazing.”
