Is your hair in need of some serious TLC? Now that summer is officially over, it's time to focus on the health of our hair again! Whether we spent time outside under the sun, in the pool, or at the beach, hair always takes a beating and is super dry this time of year. I've tried so many hair products this year and really love using hair masks to repair my hair quickly. The masks below are my top ten picks to renew and restore dry, damaged hair. These brands also offer the best shampoos, conditioners and styling products within their lines.
It only takes 2-3 minutes for this Japanese treatment to work its magic on your hair, and you can use it daily!

Milbon USA, the creators of Inphenom, recently launched an amazing hydrating shampoo, conditioner, and conditioning spray from their new Moisture Collection. I am obsessed with this line!
2. Oribe - Gold Lust Transformative Masque
One of my favorite luxury haircare lines is by Oribe. Their quality products are sold in many of the best salons and used as a treatment to nourish and repair damaged hair. I love using the Gold Lust Transformative Masque, and apply it to freshly washed hair for 5-10 minutes (this is usually a good time to shave and exfoliate). This super rich mask provides overworked hair with the best nourishment and conditioning by strengthening each hair fiber. Ingredients include white tea, baobab, jasmine extracts and a bio-restorative complex. All products are formulated without parabens, sulfates or sodium chloride.
