Unlike your everyday conditioner, a hair mask provides a more intensive treatment when your strands need some extra attention. Depending on the formula, a mask can help replenish moisture, strengthen damaged hair, smooth frizz, boost shine, and leave hair feeling softer and more manageable.
Not sure which one to choose? Start with what your hair needs most.
Best for Dry, Thirsty Hair
If your hair constantly feels dry or rough, reach for the Matrix Food For Soft Hydrating Mask.
Part of Matrix's Food For Soft collection, this hydrating treatment is a great choice when your hair needs an extra dose of moisture. The Food For Soft system is designed to transform dry hair for touchably soft results, making the mask a welcome addition when regular conditioning isn't quite cutting it.
Whether dryness comes from the weather, frequent styling, or your hair's natural texture, adding a hydrating mask to your routine can help bring back that softer, more manageable feel.
Best for Color-Treated Hair
Color-treated hair needs a little extra care, especially when frequent coloring, environmental exposure, and styling begin to take a toll. Try the L'Oreal Professionnel Metal Detox Masque.
Part of L'Oreal Professionnel's Metal Detox collection, this masque is a great option for anyone looking to give color-treated hair some additional care while maintaining softness and shine. Beauty Plus Salon currently carries the Metal Detox Masque along with the coordinating Metal Detox Shampoo, making it easy to incorporate into a complete hair-care routine.
It's an especially useful addition to your routine if chemical services are a regular part of your hair calendar.
Best for Glossy, Luxurious-Looking Hair
Want that fresh-from-the-salon softness and shine without weighing your hair down? Consider the Color Wow Chris Appleton Money Masque.
Designed for all hair types, Money Masque is a deep hydrating treatment with a weightless formula that absorbs into the hair without leaving behind a heavy, waxy buildup. It helps strengthen and repair while restoring suppleness and creating a smooth, glossy finish.
The best part? It doesn't require a huge time commitment. Apply it to damp hair after shampooing, distribute it evenly, leave it on for about three to five minutes, and rinse. For a more intensive treatment, it can be left on for up to 20 minutes.
Best for Damaged, Frizzy Hair
If your hair has been through a lot—think heat styling, chemical services, dryness, or persistent frizz—the Brazilian Blowout Deep Conditioning Masque is one to consider.
This intensive weekly treatment is formulated to deeply hydrate while helping repair and strengthen damaged hair. It also helps tame frizz, restore softness, improve manageability, and boost shine. It's suitable for all hair types and can also help maintain the results of a Brazilian Blowout treatment.
For hair that's feeling especially dry, damaged, or difficult to manage, a weekly deep-conditioning treatment can make a noticeable difference in how your hair looks and feels.
Give Your Hair a Little Extra Love
There isn't one hair mask that's perfect for everyone—and that's a good thing. The right treatment depends on what your hair is asking for.
Need moisture? Reach for Matrix Food For Soft. Want to give color-treated hair some extra care? Try L'Oreal Professionnel Metal Detox. Looking for weightless hydration and serious shine?
