Conditioning is an important part of mane maintenance! Conditioning keeps it tangle-free, soft, and shiny, but a hair mask takes the pampering one step further. It gives your hair much-needed moisture by improving the elasticity of the strands. It also helps nourish and hydrate chemically processed hair and heat-exposed hair. In lieu of all the great things hair masks do to our locks, below are our favorites.
