Winter is here, and just like our skincare routines, our haircare demands extra care and nourishment to maintain its strength, health and vitality between the seasons.
Enter: hair masks, the ultimate saving grace for tired tresses.
While their benefits extend throughout the year, hair masks prove especially crucial in combating dryness and breakage caused by the harsh winter elements.
Plus, let’s be real, our love affair with dry shampoo often takes precedence over washing our hair when it’s freezing cold outside (guilty); making it, you guessed it, drier.
As someone who has recently delved back into the world of hair colouring, hair masks have become an indispensable part of my weekly routine.
Where I would normally use them once a week, in winter, I’ve upped it to two, sometimes three times if I’m frequently using hot tools.
So whether you seek a remedy for split ends, years of box dye, or simply aim to improve your hair health, you've come to the right place.
Ahead, I’ve rounded up five of my current go-to masks that’ll take your hair from lacklustre to lush in a matter of minutes.

My Coco & Eve Super Nourishing Masque review:
Coco & Eve’s Hair Mask has a reputation that precedes itself, racking up 280-plus million views on TikTok alone.
But as we know with social media, for every viral product that's worth the hype are five others that fall flat.
I'm happy to report that this one falls into the former category.
First things first, let's talk about the scent.
I have to admit, I was initially taken aback by how strong it is. But once I washed the mask out, I was left with a delightful, Pina Colada aroma lingering in my hair until the next wash. A welcomed addition, especially on those gloomy Melbourne days.
The mask has a luxurious texture that feels thick and silky in your hands but effortlessly melts into your hair. You don’t need to use a lot of product, so while she’s a little pricier than some, she’ll last you for ages.
Now, let's get to the real magic—the results.
Normally, after blow-drying, I still need to reach for a hair serum to add extra hydration and tame frizz. But with the Coco & Eve mask, I didn't have to!
My hair looked and felt incredible—soft, shiny, and smooth from the roots to the tips. Earning a place in my weekly hair cycling routine.
