Hair growth is a marathon, not a sprint. It requires patience, consistency, trial-and-error depending on your routine, and did I mention patience? I decided about a month after doing everything from home that I might as well throw a healthy hair routine into the mix, too. And since getting to my barber became more of a dream than reality, I decided I would dedicate myself to a hair growth routine instead of attempting to groom my buzz cut because, well, what else did I have to do? The verdict is still out on what is and isn’t working, but I do know that the best natural hair growth masks have only helped my cause.
Even if I weren’t growing out my hair, a mask or deep conditioner would still be part of my wash day routine. No matter your curl pattern or hair length, these once-a-week (give or take) treatments are the extra bit of TLC that help improve the absorption of your daily products, boost moisture retention, prevent shedding, and target split ends or other forms of breakage. I won’t tell you which hair mask is your perfect match—only you can best determine what plays nice with your unique curl pattern, lifestyle, and needs. However, I can confirm that the options listed here have excellent word-of-mouth reviews, ingredients that specifically target growth, and prices that won’t hurt your wallet. Keep scrolling to for a closer look if you want potential options to kick off your search—I have a feeling at least one of these will raise your eyebrows (in a good way).
