8 of the best hair masks for healthier, stronger hair

Created in collaboration with Hollywood’s most-wanted hairstylist Chris Appleton, Color Wow Money Masque is a deep-conditioning mask, treating the hair internally and externally. It hydrates and strengthens all hair types immediately and over time, transforming your hair in one wash with a glossy, mirror-shine that his clients are known for.

K18 is the breakthrough hair godsend that – bear with me here – reconnects the interchains and intrachains that make up the structure of the hair. In short, it repairs your hair – in just four minutes – and the worse the damage to your hair, the better the results. You replace your conditioner with it, massage it into your hands until it gets a thicker, Sudocreamy texture and leave it in – it dries with no residue, leaves hair instantly softer and shinier, and heals hair from the inside out. Once you see the effects kick in, you’ll become addicted.

Olaplex works on all hair types, transforming every single strand of hair by nourishing, repairing and strengthening hair from the inside out, leaving it feeling and looking healthier. Only one to two pumps of the No. 8 mask is needed, and it’s left on for at least 10 minutes (I leave it overnight) before being rinsed out. It includes the same bond-building Olaplex technology you already know and love, along with ceramides and hyaluronic acid for extra moisturisation and shine. It’s designed to be used weekly on all hair types, and after 10 minutes in washed hair, it gives instant results. Hair is softer, smoother and shinier and the results will last in the hair for multiple washes.

Created by the hair wizard behind hundreds of Vogue covers, the tresses of Kate Moss and every Chanel catwalk, Hair by Sam McKnight Deeper Love Intense Treatment Mask is nourishing and strenghtening, created for all hair types and clinically proven to make hair 10 times stronger after 6 uses.

Regular use of the leave-in treatment Redken Extreme Strength Builder Plus Mask will help if you’re trying to get your hair to grow at an alarming rate – it’s intensely conditioning and created to restore internal strength to damaged hair.

Packed with a nourishing and strengthening blend of shine-enhancing oils, proteins and vitamins from zinc and magnesium to vitamin E, vitamin B6 and vitamin B5, Sisley Regenerating Hair Care Mask is like giving your hair a green juice, fortifying hair from the inside out.

With an amino acid complex and healthy hair molecule, Living Proof’s Restore Repair Mask nourishes and repairs dry and dehydrated hair, reversing damage and leaving hair shiny and soft.

For blondes looking to neutralise uneven colour and unwanted brassiness, Kérastase Blond Absolu Masque Ultra Violet Treatment leaves hair icy cool while hydrate and nourishing to banish brittle hair.
