You may already be using conditioner on a daily basis, but that’s actually not enough to keep your hair in its best possible state. Conditioners mainly work on the outer layers of your tresses to make them smoother and more manageable, but hair masks deeply penetrate each individual hair strand to nourish and hydrate more intensively.
Depending on your hair type, a hair mask can be used daily, on alternate days, or 1 to 2 times a week right after conditioning. Or, if you prefer, you could even have it replace your conditioner altogether! If you haven’t stocked up yet, here are 7 best hair masks in Singapore that will keep your mane smooth and frizz-free.
Read on for the best hair masks in Singapore!

As its name suggests, Coco & Eve’s Like A Virgin Super Nourishing Coconut & Fig Hair Masque ($64) is said to be able to transform your tresses back to its virgin state in just one application - i.e. the same texture it once was before any dyeing, perming, and other forms of damage. Perhaps, even better.

Made using raw virgin coconuts - the brand’s star ingredient - along with fig, shea butter, argan oil, and linseed, this nutrient-packed hair mask is suitable even for super fried manes. It comes in a set with a soft Tangle Tamer brush that can help detangle without damaging strands.
Price: $64 for 212ml + Tangle Tamer

Japanese brands are by far some of the best when it comes to hair care products - the bouncy, smooth locks that Japanese ladies have are testament enough! Even the drugstore brands like Tsubaki work well, so getting near-perfect hair won’t have to cost an arm and a leg.
Try the Tsubaki Premium Repair Mask (from $16.90), a fuss-free and fast-permeating hair mask that requires zero waiting time - just rinse off immediately after application! A godsend for busy bees.

Of course, you can always let it seep in for a couple of minutes if you have thicker or more heavily-damaged hair that requires more TLC. Made with camellia oil and royal jelly, this is said to be able to give you that lasting “salon effect”.

#5: Moroccanoil - Intense Hydrating Mask ($54)

It’s not hard to guess what the brand Moroccanoil is all about. Harnessing the goodness of argan oil - which is primarily sourced from the African country Morocco - all their products are highly hydrating, as is their Intense Hydrating Mask ($54) for hair. Suitable for all hair types, this rich, creamy hair mask will help restore shine and moisture. It smells amazing too, with a hint of spiciness and florals.

A 200ml tub costs $54, but if you’re not ready to commit, try a 75ml tube for $25. Alternatively, opt for the argan butter-infused Smoothing Mask ($67) if you’re looking for a more concentrated formula to tame out-of-control frizziness.
Price: $54 for 200ml, $25 for 75ml

After reviewing Korean hair care brand mise en scène’s hair serums, we’re all game to try their other offerings, and their Damage Care Steam Hair Mask Pack ($4.90) sure sounds like a real treat. This self-heating mask warms up shortly after applied, mimicking the scalp treatments commonly found in most salons. Not only does it gently nourish your hair with 7 types of plant-derived oils, the warm temperature helps open up hair follicles and prevent clogging.

Half the fun of using Bear Fruits’ hair masks is the fact that they come with super fun reusable shower caps! Organise a self-care sleepover party or staycation with your best girls, and get ready for tons of silly selfies - and smooth, silky locks too.

Simply slather this on your tresses as you would a regular hair mask or conditioner, pop on the cap, and let it work its magic for 30 minutes before rinsing everything off.

The design of your cap will correspond to the scent of the mask you’ve picked, and each variant helps tackle a different hair concern. For example, there’s Avocado for repairing and nourishing, Grapefruit for antioxidants and bounciness, and Strawberry for detangling and shine.
These typically cost $14.90 per piece at Watsons, but you can get them via their official LazMall store at a discounted price of $11.90.
