Meet Your Hair Saviours

Whether your curls are looking lifeless, your ends fried, or you ventured into the realm of bleaching your own hair while in lockdown; enter the best hair masks for damaged and dry hair to the rescue.

Fortified with nourishing oils and deeply hydrating ingredients, these top-selling masks in New Zealand quickly go to work to repair split ends and restore softness—no matter your hair type, length, or texture.

Quick Tips: Aim to use a mask once or twice a week instead of your usual conditioner. Leave it on for at least 10 to 15 minutes (stashing it in your shower will help if you have long hair), and rinse it in cold water to boost shine.
