This whip-thick confection is stellar for parched hair: Shea butter and prickly pear oil penetrate deep into the hair shaft and fill it up with healthy fats and moisture, while pumpkin seed oil's antioxidants help protect the scalp from flakes and irritation. Let it sit under a shower cap for about 15 minutes (so the steam from your shower can enhance the results) and you'll have touchably soft hair.

Avocado makes a great face mask; this we know. The fatty acids soften and smooth the strands, while vitamins A, C, E, K, B, and folate1 help stave off free radicals (because, yes, your hair ages, too). Briogeo's superfood mask is fortified with other green gems, like spinach and kiwi, for an added dose of antioxidants.

This mask has one not-so-secret ingredient: coconut oil. We've waxed poetic about the benefits of coconut oil for hair (it has a low molecular weight2, so all that moisture penetrates easily into the hair shaft), but not all jars are created equal. Read: You can't just pick up an ol' coconut oil at the grocery store and expect it to work magic on your strands. Kopari features 100% pure, organic, and unrefined coconut to slide through your mane.

For those with curls, masking is a bit of a delicate dance: You want hydrating, rich ingredients without weighing down the precious coils. This hair mask approaches both concerns—it's incredibly lightweight, but it's packed with powerful ingredients like Australian kakadu plum (which has record amounts of vitamin C) and starflower oil (aka borage oil).

For the impatient among us: You need only three minutes with this mask to reveal shiny and soft locks. But just because the time ticks faster doesn't mean the product skimps on quality; turmeric butter (yes, you read that right) provides moisture and brightens up the strands, while green tea adds even more silkiness and shine. 

Offline 3-Minute Hydration Hair Mask, IGK ($38)

This luxurious mask boasts shea butter, coconut oil, and tamanu oil for intense moisture and shine, as well as quinoa extract for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. You can practically feel it repairing as your tresses soak it up. 

Hydrating Hair Masque, Innersense ($30)

Like all of Gisou's nourishing product range, the workhorse is honey, which has a wealth of healthy-hair benefits. To start, it has humectant properties (which means it can attract water to the surface of the skin and hair as well as deliver hydration to the deeper layers), so it can help your hair and scalp retain moisture3. 

Honey Infused Hair Mask, Gisou ($62)

The key ingredients here are tsubaki seed oil (aka camellia oil), which hydrates your strands, and yuzu fruit extract, which smooths down the cuticle and helps repair breakage. It's incredibly lightweight and has a fresh, invigorating scent for a spa-like shower experience. 

The Renewal Mask, Crown Affair ($58)

Can't find exactly what you're looking for on the market? Prose allows you to create your own hair mask, customizing ingredients to your liking. Take your pick from jojoba oil, castor oil, hyaluronic acid, mango butter, and more for your very own blend. 

Pre-Shampoo Hair Mask, Prose ($38)

Hair repair is this number's middle name. For curls, coils, and kinks more prone to breakage, this recovery mask works like a charm. It's loaded with shea butter and avocado oil, two superstars for curls that revive them back to bouncy, shiny, and defined. For when you need a really deep treatment, this is your top-notch pick.   

Rapid Recovery Treatment, Miss Jessie's ($14)

You'd be hard-pressed to find a beauty lover who doesn't swear by Olaplex’s famed hair mask. It’s super concentrated and fine (it feels more like a serum), and it coats your hair with the brand’s signature bond-building technology—replenishing the structure and strengthening the strands.
