Bad hair day? More like bad hair month. We’ve all been there—where you can’t quit the heat styling because it’s the only thing that works to tame the frizz. Or, when you find yourself spending most of your scrub time cleaning the hair out of your shower drain because your hair doesn’t seem to stop shedding.
We digress—the point is, whether you’ve hit the bleach one too many times or your perm is finally getting the better of you, these masks can help. From hydrating to fortifying to UV-protecting, there’s a formula out there for you, and we just happen to have it. Ahead, find our picks for the best hair masks in the game:
