Chillier weather is drying on our skin, from our feet to our faces. Carrying around hand creams and switching our moisturizers for a thicker formula is de rigueur for many of us. But we can't forget about hair. Sun damage and chlorine in the summer months is often one of the more visible ways our tresses can lose shine and luster, but cold breezes and central heating can also cause follicles to dry and break. If you're regularly heat styling or dying your hair, moisturizing masks are even more important. From heat damage and color-treated concerns to high-end and drugstore price points, there's a hair mask out there for you. That's why we've compiled a list of the best hair masks Amazon has to offer with thousands of top-rated reviews. Keep on scrolling to check out the mask that's right for you.

Reviewers say: "My hair has severe color damage, and I've spent one year in recovery. I've only used this TWICE so far, and I have seen extreme results! I wonder how my hair would have responded if I used this way sooner! Wow, I started by using this just once a week. I've noticed that my hair brushes out easier, and dries faster after my shower. It appears to be shinier, and it is much more manageable. THANK YOU, Pureology!" — David, Amazon reviewer.

Reviewers say: "This stuff is EXCELLENT! Great slip, VERY moisturizing, really good detangler. Works really well as a mask, a rinse out, or a styler. I was SHOCKED at how much I liked it. And it is cheap and natural! Please I need a bigger jar, like 32 oz. I have fine, curly, and wavy, African American hair that is very prone to frizz and dryness. Sometimes I add a little avocado oil but it really does not need it. THIS is my new and permanent favorite conditioner. I immediately put it on 2 jars per month subscribe and save" — Mo, Amazon reviewer.

Reviewers say: "This product did exactly what I needed it to! I have highlighted blonde hair that I like to keep icy and ashy. My hair had tons of golden and honey hues and hadn’t been colored in over a month. I had been using other purple/blue shampoos and conditioners with minimal results. I found this product as a result of many searches, the ratings and reviews sold it to me. It was very easy to apply and I left it in for about 15 minutes. My hair is now the perfect shade of blonde!" — Sarah, Amazon reviewer.
