When your locks are looking parched and brittle, a hydrating mask can snap them back to life. No one knows this better than curly girls. By default, curls are more prone to dryness, largely due to their structure. Put simply, straighter hair equals a clear and easy pathway from the root to the tip. On the contrary, coily textures are a bit more convoluted, making it more difficult for the scalp's natural oils to glide down. 

The structure of the hair also comes into play when it comes to haircare. It's no secret that curls require moisture-rich products around the clock to keep them looking healthy. Things can get even more dicey when you throw color-treated strands in the mix. Fortunately, you can always count on a hair mask to restore and renew your curls to their full glory. If you're on the hunt for a new one to add to your wash day lineup, start by checking out the list below.
