Look for masks with hydrating and reparative ingredients like keratin, argan oil, shea butter, or coconut oil. These help strengthen hair strands and seal split ends.

2. Protein Content

Protein-rich formulas can help rebuild damaged hair structure. Masks containing proteins such as silk, wheat, or collagen are ideal for reinforcing weak or brittle ends.

3. Moisturizing Properties

Split ends often occur when hair is dry or dehydrated. Select a mask that deeply moisturizes to restore softness and flexibility, reducing further breakage.

4. Suitability for Hair Type

Consider your hair’s texture and needs—fine hair may need a lightweight formula, while thick or curly hair benefits from richer, more intensive masks.
