The cold season – whether it heaps on snow, blows menacing winds, sucks the humidity out of the air, smacks down the temperatures or does them all – presents a test to any hair type. The daily strains of washing, drying, straightening or curling bind forces with the winter elements. To help you ward off the onslaught of stressors that bring dryness and fuzziness to your mane, Haute Beauty has culled a list of five hair masks that bode an end to hiding dull locks under oversize beanies.

All five masks contain top-quality natural ingredients. Yet, if the hippie in you prevails peek inside the kitchen for some DIY inspiration. While the Internet brims with plenty of guidance for homemade hair masks for the winter, you can be creative and grind together dryness-fighting avocado, egg yolk, ripe bananas and add several drops of olive oil and lemon juice.

Whether you opt for brand masks or the ones you stir up on your own, do not let the gloom of the cold season eclipse the shine of you mane.
