Colorists and Editors Agree—These 14 Masks Are the Antidote to Dull, Damaged Hair

Naselli's favorite hair mask to use on his celebrity clientele is this one by Ultra Bond. "It quickly absorbs, nourishes, and strengthens your hair while you sleep for the perfect lightweight finish," he says. Designed with color-treated blonde hair in mind, the mask works by strengthening the hair overnight so you can wake up with silky-smooth strands by morning.

Glowing Review: "I’m so picky with hair products, especially [now] that my hair is so damaged. So, I really needed a product to revive my dead, damaged hair. And this product is a lifesaver. It no longer feels brittle nor fried. It made my hair so soft. After bleaching it so many times, my hair needed a miracle and this product is the miracle for me."

Beauty Director Erin Jahns touts this one as being behind her transformation from blonde to red strands. This professional hair mask by L'Oréal uses bond-building peptides to penetrate beyond the surface of the hair and target hair damage at the molecular level. Its formula also includes amino acids, which are proteins that help strengthen and nourish hair.

Glowing Review: "This is totally worth the money. It leaves my hair feeling like I just left the salon and is way less expensive than other treatments! The quality is great, leaving my hair feeling light, shiny, and soft. It smells fantastic and you only have to use a little for your whole hair (mine's about shoulder length and I use and nickel-quarter size blob)."

As a longtime fan of Kérastase, I had to include this classic, color-boosting mask. It prevents color fading by deeply nourishing and conditioning the hair with a helpful blend of amino, lactic, and tartaric acids to combat three levels of hair damage while recovering hair from damage caused by hair dyes. Plus, it protects the hair from color-stripping environmental stressors.

Glowing Review: "I love this mask! I definitely feel that it provides deep moisture and helps smooth and nourish my hair. I recently had my hair colored, and feel this has helped bring life and softness back to it. I highly recommend this mask. It feels like a little treat each week."

According to associate beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock, this treatment mask is one that should be in every color-boosting haircare routine. The Sachajuan mask is uniquely formulated with Ocean Silk Technology to address stressed and damaged hair while also promoting cell regeneration. With a single use, you'll notice how much more manageable and healthy-looking your hair is.

Glowing Review: "My hair is very, very long and over processed. It is prone to being dull, dry and frizzy—especially the ends. This surprisingly light feeling, silky hair mask smelled like flowers and after applying it and allowing it to sink in, I rinsed in tepid water and my damaged tresses felt much softer and easier to comb."

Christophe Robin's intensive hair mask is a must for anyone who wants to add long-lasting radiance and shine to their color-treated hair.

It also combats breakage and split ends.

Glowing Review: "This is the most amazing hair product I have ever used. My hair is color-treated, dry and frizzy. It is now soft as silk, manageable, and unbelievably soft. I would recommend the shampoo and mask and oil period! Excellent, excellent product."

Senior beauty editor Jamie Schneider absolutely loves using this treatment mask to make her blonde highlights last. By blending nourishing ingredients such as upcycled milk thistle, argan oil, and a plant-based protein complex together, Divi's Whipped Repair Treatment Mask reduces hair breakage by strengthening hair bonds.

Glowing Review: "I loved the feel of the mask! It felt super hydrating on my hair, but not too heavy. I kept it in for about 10 minutes and washed out and continued with conditioner and my hair was noticeably softer when I got out of the shower. This is great for a fine-haired girls who need a little extra love on their ends when using heat repeatedly, etc. Would definitely recommend!"

Another one of Jahn's favorites, Sisley Paris's pre-shampoo nourishing balm helps repair dry, brittle hair using a formula enriched with botanical oils that nourish, restore, and restructure the hair fiber from top to bottom. It's also worth noting how lightweight and comfortable this product's texture feels on the strands.

Glowing Review: "My hair is not thick and full on the ends and I use a curling iron. I tried this on my hair and I knew that this is something I need to use on a regular basis. My ends were fuller, shinier and felt stronger. I wanted 'wow' results so I am happy with this hair balm."

Glowing Review: "My hairstylist introduced this product to me a year ago and it's been a staple in my shower ever since.

Can't go without it!"

Since adding moisture is a must for keeping the vibrancy of your color-treaded hair, it's always good to have an extremely moisturizing mask at your disposal. The Moisture & Control Deep Treatment Hair Mask should be in your product lineup for a number of reasons, but we're raising two huge ones to consider: 1) The mask was designed with curls in mind, and 2) it majorly tames frizz.

Glowing Review: "I really love Oribe products, and this treatment works well for my curly hair, which tends to be dry. I use this in place of a conditioner, particularly in colder months, and it helps keep my hair soft and hydrated. I highly recommend!"
