The Best Hair Masks Under $15, According to Celebrity Hairstylists

Good hair masks can revive fried strands in next to no time—some only take a minute. They hydrate, nourish and repair in one fell swoop, and they’re an easy weekly substitution for conditioner, or whenever your hair needs more TLC. For anyone with color-treated hair, they can help restore vibrancy and shine between appointments. And for anyone who regularly heat-styles their hair, masks can make dry, damaged strands feel silky and healthy. But, you don’t have to break the bank to achieve these results. Here, celebrity hairstylists share their picks for the best hair masks under $15.
