The Deep Conditioners Your Hair Needs Right Now (2025)

Pantene's tried-and-true Rescue Shots recently got a major upgrade. Small but mighty, these booster come in four variations for fighting woes like frizz, dryness, color-fade, and damage. Mix in with your regular conditioner for a supercharged treatment.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"I struggle with frizzy hair appearing after my hair air dries from the shower but with this mix in, I noticed immediately my hair was softer and not as frizzy as it normally is. I would recommend this to anyone who has the same problem as i did!" —kellyk141

The hardiest conditioner in Tracee Eliss Ross's line for curly and textured hair, the Intensive Conditioner is packed with soothing natural oils to hydrate and define curls before you even step out of the shower.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"This Intense Conditioner is like nothing I’ve ever experienced on my hair! I am in LOVE with how my hair is responding to this Conditioner and I haven’t even put the Leave In on my hair yet! I’m very impressed." —Melinda

You only need a spare 60 seconds for this oil-infused mask to detangle, smooth, and hydrate hair. That being said, we like to leave it on a tad bit longer as part of our daily commitment to self-care (and hair care).

What the Reviews Are Saying:

" I LOVE all of the L'Oreal Elvive products! It turns my dull, dry hair so soft and silky! It's a bonus that it smells amazing too!" —Rose355

This once-weekly mask for dry hair is filled with so many nourishing goods: B vitamins, rosehip oil, argan oil, collagen, and silk proteins. Give it only five minutes to see your hair restored.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"I stopped using this a year ago and switch to other hair masks. I looked at year-old photos and realized my hair looked much healthier when I was using this so I repurchased. You can totally tell the difference. It only took 3 washes to compare see how good this is for your hair. It’s the best for repairing and restoring damaged hair!" —makeupgt5

Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness has a JVN Moisture Mask that has been a cult-favorite since it launched. A powerhouse trio of squalane, hemi-squalane, and rice protein improve the strength of strands over time. Use it before heat styling for a shinier and frizz-free result.

Yes, this damage-repairing, cuticle-smoothing Oribe mask is on the pricey side, but consider it an investment in your hair. And when you factor in how many uses you get out of it (compared to one trip to the salon), it's well worth it.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"As someone who alternates between blowdrying my hair straight and wearing it curly, it's really important that I use a product that brings the moisture back into my hair. This does that and more! It's my absolute favorite hair mask." —Rosheen

This one's not like any deep conditioner you've tried before, promise. For one, it comes out of the bottle as a lighter-than-air foam—and once you apply it to your hair, you don't need to rinse it out. Nevertheless, expect the formula's bamboo stem cells, keratin, and argan oil to help repair damage like it was never there.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"This leave-in treatment is a must have!! I do not have a complete hair line without this product. I have tried many other products but this one is the absolute perfect one. This treatment has a gentle feel on hands while applying, light as air. The scent is subtle and fresh." —Cassandra T

Sometimes, your hair needs extra help. Not only does this deeply hydrating mask provide moisture to dehydrated hair, but it also calms down your scalp—thanks to a little skincare ingredient known as hyaluronic acid.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"I really like this mask! It has amazing slip and instantly detangles and moisturizes my hair. My fiancé even uses it in his beard because it smells amazing and makes your hair so soft!" —Lexi

Ouai's hair mask has experienced a few transformations, from jar to tube and now back to jar. What's inside has undergone some changes too: The newest iteration of the mask offers different treatments depending on the thickness of your hair, so there's no chance it will weigh down fine hair. The keratin and proteins help prevent split ends and breakage while reducing frizz.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"If I could give a higher rating, i would! Left my hair feeling like absolute butter! After every use, I felt as if I had just left the salon! The scent lingers and lasts all day." —903jennifer501

When Kim Kardashian's hairstylist Chris Appleton has a hand in a mask, you know it's worth the splurge. Blue sea kale binds damaged keratin together and algae creates long-lasting moisture. Whether you have thick or fine hair, this luxe treatment leaves your hair looking glass-like and expensive.

Have you ever heard of a dry hair mask? Unlike typical deep conditioners and treatments, this mask is sprayed onto dry hair and releases bond-building ingredients overnight. So there's no reason to wait until wash day to add shine and hydration to locks.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"I am so in love with this spray! It's already done wonders for my hair. I only wash my hair once a week so it's usually looking pretty dry and frizzy by day 4-5 but this spray has kept it looking and feeling SO soft. I could tell a huge difference in my hair just after the first use." —Lacy

Despite its custard-like thickness, this mask won't actually weigh down hair. Leave it on overnight for a boost of intense moisture and repair.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"I use this once a week, leave it on my hair for about 30 minutes. Leaves my hair soft and manageable the whole week." —Lily

Dye jobs can look great post-salon, but they also wreak havoc on your hair. For color-treated hair, Tang recommends looking for a treatment that will repair without sacrificing color.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"This mask is absolutely perfect. The signature scent is amazing, it leaves my fine hair hydrated but never weighed down. After using once a week for a few months my hair also looks noticeably healthier. A little also goes a long way!" —Julianna10

Slather on this protein-boosting mask while you're shaving your legs or using a body scrub—something that gives it at least ten minutes to penetrate hair. After just one use, you'll notice that your hair not only looks shinier and feels softer, but that it also holds up better against heat styling, too.

What the Reviews Are Saying:

"Amazing deep conditioner! I left it on for 10-15 minutes, then blow-dried my hair to take full advantage of it. My hair was less frizzy and had a shine to it! I’m buying this again and putting it on my favorites list!" —KT
