Byrdie / Jessica Juliao
From heat styling to bleaching, there are many contributing factors when it comes to dry hair. It’s a condition that also comes with a bunch of not-so-fun side effects: frizz, flyaways, color fade, breakage, and more—all things we’d much rather avoid where possible. Shampoo and conditioner aside, a hard-working hair mask rich in nourishing ingredients is one of the best ways to mitigate said dryness. Trichologist Lisa Caddy tells us that dry hair has lost water and basically craves rehydration and that the best way to do this is through oils as they work to lock water inside the hair shaft (just like a face oil or occlusive moisturizer).
Byrdie Researched & Approved
The best-selling (and Team Byrdie fave) Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 is, hands down, our top choice for its ability to truly repair broken, dry, and damaged strands. For something more affordable, the SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque is great for providing deep nourishment via shea butter and other plant oils.
So with this advice in mind, along with Caddy’s recommendations and our own product testing results and research on active ingredients and formulations, we’ve compiled an edit of the top options—fast-working treatments that will hydrate, repair, and protect.
Whether your hair is colored, fine, thick or coiled, keep reading to find the best hair mask for dry, damaged hair that’s right for you.

Who else recommends it? The Strategist, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan all picked Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3.
What do buyers say? 90% of 78,500+ Amazon reviewers rated this product 4 stars or above.
The Olaplex Hair Perfector is hands-down one of the best hair masks we’ve ever used and is our number-one choice for addressing hair that’s dry, damaged, and generally lackluster. The innovative formula works by repairing and rebuilding the disulfide bonds that have been broken in your hair—most commonly due to coloring and bleaching. Try using it regularly to reverse signs of damage and restore hydration levels.
Byrdie contributor Ashley Rubell tried out Olaplex’s Bond Maintenance System Kit (which includes the Hair Perfector along with the Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner) and gave it a perfect five-star rating, noting that the Hair Perfector felt like “a magic hair potion.” Not only did she find her hair was left silkier and stronger overall, but it felt healthier and softer even as it was air drying. Although this formula is expensive, it's a mainstay of every salon we know, making it a top choice that's worth the spend.

Expensive? Yes, but Caddy tells us that the jojoba oil and shea butter found in this formula are important when it comes to moisturizing dry, damaged hair. It’s very rich and buttery but works like a charm to recondition hair and impart a lustrous sheen. Because it’s so heavy, it will weigh down frizz and flyaways, too. Try it as a once-weekly treatment after a steamy shower so the ingredients can really penetrate.

Final Verdict
A Team Byrdie favorite, the Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 is a best-seller for a reason. It truly works to repair broken, dry and damaged hair, which is why we’re calling it out as our top pick. Honorable mention also goes to the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer for its oil-rich formulation. For a wallet-friendly option, you can’t go wrong with the SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque, which deeply nourishes with shea butter and plant oils.

What to Look For in a Hair Mask for Dry, Damaged Hair
Deep Hydration for Curly and Thick Hair
If your hair is dry, Mark DeBolt, celebrity colorist and co-founder of Mark Ryan Salon, says you’ll need to look for hair masks specifically designed to enrich hair with moisture and hydration—and if your hair is on the curly or coarse side, you’ll want a formula that’s especially thick and nourishing. Look for ingredients like plant-based butters and oils such as shea butter and coconut, olive, and castor oils, like in the Amika The Kure Intense Repair Mask.
Lightweight Hydration for Fine Hair
If your hair is dry and on the finer side, DeBolt recommends using masks that provide lightweight moisture so that your hair isn’t left greasy or weighed down. Hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, and sesame oil are great for hydrating the hair without leaving behind a heavy residue.
Tinted or Toning for Color-Treated Hair
For dry hair that's also color-treated, consider opting for a hydrating hair mask that also deposits pigment, like Amika Bust Your Brass Intense Repair Mask. Bleached blondes can benefit from the toning effects of blue, purple, and silver tints, while other hair colors should reach for color-depositing conditioning masks (read: They don’t lift or damage the hair), which can help extend your time between visits to the salon. Linseed extract is also an excellent ingredient to look for since it can help to preserve color.
Size
Hair masks tend to be ultra-rich and concentrated and usually come in fairly small quantities. So if your hair is ultra-thick or long, you may be using more than a dollop at a time and will want to look for products that come in larger sizes, so you get the best value.
How We Researched & Tested
To compile this list, our team of editors and contributors spent hours researching the best products on the market in this category, evaluating their key features—like ingredients, shade range, or design—in addition to reviews from customers and other trusted sources. We then used this research to assign a star rating from one to five (five being the best; one being the worst) to certain products on the list.
Why Trust Byrdie
For this round-up, we consulted a trichologist for their thoughts, suggestions, and insights while also testing a few hair masks ourselves (this writer also happens to have dry, dehydrated hair). Finally, we’ve also included some references to academic journal articles, so you know the information you’re getting about certain ingredients is correct.
