11 Stylist-Approved Hair Masks for Every Hair Type

For curly hair

If you are lucky enough to have naturally curly hair (though you might not feel lucky at times when the weather is humid!), you should treat it with products that will enhance your bounce and keep curls frizz-free and defined. “If you are air drying your natural curls you want to use a mask that won’t weigh down your strands and instead allow your curls to stay light and bouncy,” says Deycke Heidorn, New York-based celebrity hair stylist. Her go-to mask for curly hair comes from the curl experts at Ouidad—their Curl Immersion Triple Treat Deep Conditioner. “After shampooing, apply the mask mainly to the lengths and ends,” she says. “Rinse out after 20 minutes or so and let your curls air dry or use a hair dryer with diffuser.” Try it once or twice a week. For more of a moisture boost, since curly hair tends to be dry (hence the bounce and texture), try Dove Quench Absolute Intense Restoration Mask. It has proteins and Buriti oil to prevent frizz and protect against breakage.
