Hazan loves this mask because it strengthens and repairs hair to help combat frizz. “It has a blend of argan oil and keratin, which restores moisture and improves the overall health of your hair, leaving it soft and silky. It’s perfect for repairing damaged hair and preventing split ends,” she says.
“This hair mask smells so divine that it instantly brightens my mood. I have long thick hair so I have to spend a good amount of time shampooing, so by the time I have to condition, I’m over it,” says Glamour’s Calle. “But I actually enjoy using this mask in my shower routine because it makes detangling so easy. Plus, it only needs to sit for three to five minutes. My hair feels so soft post-wash.”

What we love: Helps rid of build-up; softens hair; lightweight texture
What could improve: Expensive
If you have fine hair, you know the struggle of finding a hair mask that won’t weigh your hair down. This effective, yet lightweight mask has an airy texture that smooths hair without making it look greasy or oily. It also has peptides and glycine to nourish and gently plump strands for a stronger, smoother look.
“Adding this mask to my fine hair care routine really helped my hair feel smooth and silky. I also love when hair products have a slight fragrance and loved how it made my hair smell fresh for hours. After my blowout, my hair felt healthy, bouncy, and really strong,” says Glamour designer, Falak Khoja.
Best for Hair Growth: Vegamour HYDR-8 Deep Moisture Repair Mask

What we love: Rich, hydrating formula; ideal for breakage
What could improve: Potent; may weigh down thin hair
“This nourishing mask is powered by Karmatin, a vegan keratin alternative, which coats the hair to make it instantly appear thicker and doesn’t wash away with rinsing,” says Neera Nathan, MD, MSHS, a board-certified dermatologist. It’s infused with marula and moringa seed oils, which smooth frizz and prevent breakage, and work to thicken and lengthen hair.
“My thick, curly hair felt more pliable and easy to style after just one use,” says one of our Glamour testers, whose hair grew a little over two inches in just two months. Our tester also vouched for the claim that the mask’s benefits last several days—each time they wet their hair in the morning, they found it easier than usual to restyle.
Glamour’s Kilkeary, who has straight hair, was also a fan, noting that she experienced less static and breakage after using this. “I’ve been dealing with more brittle hair over the past year or two, so I’ve really become reliant on trying different hair growth products to thicken it up a bit. This mask has been a huge help— my mid-to-ends feel a lot smoother and stronger, and don’t as easily break when I’m brushing my hair.”
