How I tested the best hair masks for bleached hair that have become dry and damaged?

I have naturally black/dark hair so I often bleach them. However, all those chemicals leaves hair damaged. So I tested out these hair masks to see if they help revitalize my hair. I rated them on a scale of 1-5 after checking them on the following parameters.

• Damage Repair Ability – I firstly checked how well the hair mask can repair damage such as split ends, breakage, thinning etc. caused by bleaching
• Nourishing & Moisturizing – I then checked if the hair mask conditions and nourishes hair as bleach can often leave it dry.
• Ingredients & Formula – I also checked if the hair mask ingredients are suitable for bleached scalp that can be sensitive. So I noted down if the products had alcohol or strong perfumes added.

Top Hair Mask for Bleached Hair 2022

#1- Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Home Treatment

Best Hair Mask For Bleached Hair Overall

Bleached hair goes through a lot of stress from the chemicals. It can turn brittle and dry, and it needs nothing less than the best to help retain its health. 

Olaplex is one of the market leaders when it comes to hair care, especially for chemically treated hair. 

So it’s no wonder that this is one of the top hair masks that I tried out.

The Hair Perfector No 3 requires only 10 minutes of your time after washing my locks to infuse hydration and nutrition into your tresses.

I loved how it instantly de-frizzed my hair and left it feeling soft. But I’ve noticed that people with more fragile or finer hair strands have complained about it not doing so well.

So it’s best to do a strand test before using this hair mask.

 I also liked how this is purely vegan product is pH balanced and free of parabens, sulphates, phthalates and phosphates to prevent damaging your locks further. 

Tip

This is a great product to use after styling since it eases away the heating elements that have an impact on your strands. 

Pros:

• Contains jojoba seed oil that helps repair hair and moisturizes as well
• Contains aloe vera that helps hydrate dull, dry hair
• Pleasant scent that is not overpowering

Cons:

• This doesn’t suit every hair type so you need to do a strand test first
• Has added perfume so it might not suit all hair types

My Ratings:

• Damage Repair Ability – 4/5
• Nourishing & Moisturizing – 4.4/5
• Ingredients & Formula – 4/5

#2- Davines Alchemic Conditioner 

Best Hair Mask For Oily Hair

The Alchemic Conditioner by Davines is specially formulated for blonde and platinum hair to help revive the brilliant colour and hydrate it.

I loved how this hair mask is tinted. It has a slight coppery tint that seemed to enhance your blonde hair color.

 This is water based and a good choice if you have an oily scalp like mine. Massage it through the locks after your shampoo and leave it in for about 5 minutes for it to do its job. 

It has a rich, balmy cream that spreads easily and does not drip. So bonus points for consistency!

One thing to keep in mind is, while it does hydrate normal hair to a large extent, it does not help repair if your locks are damaged too much. 

And since it’s water-based it won’t give dry hair much nourishment either. So you’re better off with something like the PureBody Coconut mask instead.

Tip 

Massage your tresses with this mask for some time before you let it settle. This way it seeps in with the hair and gives your locks a better, hydrated texture. 

Pros:

• It is a water based hair mask so it’s good for oily scalps
• It’s silicone free so it won’t leave residue or buildup on your hair
• Pleasant tobacco scent that is not overpowering
• Contains copper tint that can help enhance bleached hair tones

Cons:

• It’s not very moisturizing as it’s water and not oil or cream-based
• Has added perfume so it might not suit all hair types

My Ratings:

• Damage Repair Ability – 4/5
• Nourishing & Moisturizing – 3/5
• Ingredients & Formula – 4/5

#3- IGK Antisocial Overnight Bond-Building Dry Hair Mask

Best Overnight Hair Mask For Damaged Hair

For hair that is extremely damaged, you need to take extreme measures to set it right. IGK’s Antisocial Overnight Bond-Building Dry Hair Mask is our pick for some seriously deep conditioning for your tresses. 

Yes, this is an overnight mask. It has a thick creamy consistency that doesn’t drip so don’t worry about it messing up your pillowcases by dripping.

I like how this mask contains real silk protein derived from plants. I could really feel this ingredient helping my hair the next day I washed it off.

Also, this purely vegan product infuses your hair with plenty of protein, making your strands stronger. 

This hair mask claims to be one of a kind and free of damaging parabens, sulphates, petrolatum and mineral oils. So that’s a huge plus!

Leave it on overnight and wash off in the morning to enjoy softer, smoother and silkier hair. 

The only catch? It’s not very nourishing for dry scalp and hair types and works better for adding shine and strength to hair.

Pros:

• Contains turmeric butter that is antioxidant rich and repairs damaged hair
• Contains green tea seed oil that helps add moisture to dry hair

Cons:

• Doesn’t suit very dry hair as it’s not very moisturizing or rich

My Ratings:

• Damage Repair Ability – 4/5
• Nourishing & Moisturizing – 4.4/5
• Ingredients & Formula – 4/5

#4- Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask

Best Hair Mask Curly Hair

I love the smell of this mask. It smells really good and it is so moisturizing for my hair. This mask makes my hair feel so soft and nourished when I wash it out, which is great because I have dry ends that are starting to get brittle.

When you use this product on your hair, you do not need a lot of product at all!

You only need about 2-3 pumps for full coverage on your entire head or as little as 1 pump if you want to leave the mask in overnight (which works wonders).

 The rosehip and almond oils moisturise your strands while biotin and vitamin B5 replenish the lacking nutrition, preventing hair loss. 

The amino acids rich formula is a fantastic, almost cult beauty product for afro hair. It keeps textured hair (4b, 4c types, etc.) from heat styling damage.

It strengthens your strands, helps lessen breakage, brings a shine to your dull hair and makes it softer. It also helps control frizz by smoothing the hair cuticle, and leaves your locks nice and smooth.  

This intensive treatment is on the pricey side, but if you’re looking for a splurge go for it. 

The consistency is also amazing! The liquid part goes on smooth and silky while feeling very light weight once applied (and even better after sitting under running water!).

Pros:

• The amino acids in the mask help repair breakage and split ends
• The biotin and vitamin B5 helps add volume to hair and reduces heat-related damage too

Cons:

• Very expensive, so this one is a splurge!

My Ratings:

• Damage Repair Ability – 4.5/5
• Nourishing & Moisturizing – 4/5
• Ingredients & Formula – 4/5

#5- Luseta Color Brightening Hair Mask

Best Hair Treatment For Frizzy Hair

I have always been a fan of Luseta products and this hair mask is no exception. It does exactly what it claims to do, which is keeping my blonde locks bright for longer periods.

I also love how it makes my hair soft and shiny after using the product, so that’s definitely another plus!

If you feel your bleached hair is losing its colour, or if you simply want to take care of it and make sure the bright colour is maintained, use the Color Brightening Hair Mask by Luseta.

I love that it contains both purple and blue hued pigments, so this mask removes the yellowish tinge in your locks by neutralising it and also gets rid of the orangish “brassy” undertones that form after bleaching your hair.

And no, it’s not just a toning hair mask. It’s very good at treating damage caused by bleaching too.

The Keratin, biotin and collagen-based formula helped strengthen my locks and nourish. I loved how it prevents hair loss, breakage and dryness while also making hair color look good.

If you have color-treated hair, you should definitely check out this hair mask. It does contain a lot of added perfumes but this is a thing I’m willing to overlook but if you have very sensitive scalp you should check out Olaplex or something.

Pros:

• The keratin and biotin formula helps repair damage and restores elasticity to hair
• Adds instant shine to hair after just one time use
• Contains blue pigments that reduce brassy undertones in blue hair

Cons:

• Contains added perfume that might trigger sensitive scalp
• Contains silicones that can buildup on hair after prolonged use

My Ratings:

• Damage Repair Ability – 4.5/5
• Nourishing & Moisturizing – 3.5/5
• Ingredients & Formula – 4/5

#6- Revicare Purple Hair Mask for bleached hair 

Best Purple Hair Mask For Bleached Hair

I have been using the Revicare hair mask for a long time now. I love this product because it makes my hair look so healthy and fresh.

The avocado oil nourishes my hair, vitamin e leaves my hair soft and aloe vera keeps me hydrated all day long!

Over a period of time, bleached hair can lose its luster and develop a brassy shade due to sun exposure. So what I liked about this mask is that it contains purple pigments removes brassiness.

I’ve been using the purple hair mask for a few months now and I love it. It helps bring back the vibrancy of my hair color after all those days in the sun!

Most of the ingredients such as silk proteins and aloe vera are natural. My hair feels great when I use this product and it leaves my locks silky smooth.

My favorite thing about this product is that works both as a hair mask and a toner. However, if you have severely damaged hair, you should definitely check out something more nourishing such as the Olaplex or Briogeo masks.

Tips

If you have greying tresses, this hair mask can be great in soothing your strands and keeping it hydrated. 

Pros:

• Contains avocado oil that helps nourish dry, damaged hair
• Removes both yellowness and brassy undertones from bleached hair
• The silk protein in the mask help repairs damage caused by bleach

Cons:

• It’s suited for toning brassy hair and not damage repair or hydration

My Ratings:

• Damage Repair Ability – 3.5/5
• Nourishing & Moisturizing – 3.5/5
• Ingredients & Formula – 3.5/5

It’s a good idea to go professional when it comes to maintaining the health of chemically treated hair.

Schwarzkopf’s Professional BlondMe does a lot of good to your blonde bleached hair with its creamy, intensely moisturising formula.

What Ingredients To Look For In The Best Hair Treatment For Bleached Hair

Bleaching your tresses can be tiring for your strands while also absorbing the moisture of the strands. So you’ll have to be careful as to which hair mask you’re selecting for your dry, damaged bleached hair. Here are some hydrating and repairing ingredients you need to look out for when selecting a hair mask or treatment.

Olive oil

Applying olive oil to your tresses after a brief amount of time from bleaching can be a great way of keeping your strands smooth and moisturized. Olive oil has a lot of goodness in it which is a great way of nourishing the strands and allowing it to be nourished in every sense. It’s also a good ingredient to soothe irritated scalp

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is a great source of hydration as well and is the most popular choice because of the accessibility. Rub ample amount of coconut oil on your palm and rub it on your strands and wash it off with a gentle shampoo.

Rice water

Rinsing your locks with rice water is a great way of allowing the bleach to stick to your strands and not ripping it off or allowing it to dry off.

The stink might remain if you don’t wash off properly, so watch out for that!

Keratin

Keratin is a form of protein that forms the building block of your hair structure. When you bleach your hair a lot of the keratin is lost as the bleach dissolves bonds between the proteins in your tresses. So investing in a keratin hair mask can undo a lot of damage to your bleached hair

Hair masks are not only for people with dyed or bleached hair. Even if you have dark hair, or you are a guy, a hair mask can be a great way to improve the health and look of your hair.

If you have bleached hair, a hair mask is going to be a very important part of your hair care routine.

Bleaching your hair is going to damage it and make it dry, brittle and quite fragile. This means that you need to invest a little more time into your hair care if you want to keep your hair in great condition.

A hair mask is a great way to do this and also help to repair any damage your hair has suffered as a result of bleaching it.

Hair masks are a great way to replenish the hair and give it the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs in order to stay healthy and strong.

With these hair masks, it is easy to take care and allow your locks to be hydrated and moisturized in spite of the bleach and the impacts it can have on your tresses.
