The Best Clean Hair Treatments for Damaged Hair: Our Expert Advice
At Health Hut, we've spent the last 14 years curating the best in clean beauty—trying, testing, and handpicking every product that makes it onto our shelves. When it comes to repairing dry, damaged hair, we know what works.
If your hair feels more like straw than silk, you're not alone.
Dry, damaged hair is typical, whether from heat styling, colour treatments, harsh weather, or just not getting enough moisture where it's needed most. Split ends, breakage, dullness, and frizz are the telltale signs that your hair is calling out for extra care.
The good news? The right hair oils, masks, and treatments can make all the difference.
This guide is full of our expert-approved picks—oils that help to seal in moisture and add shine, deeply reparative masks, and scalp treatments that support healthy hair from the root. Along with staff favourites and pro tips, we’ve selected products that can help bring your hair back to life—stronger, shinier, and healthier than ever.

RŌZ Foundation Mask
"I'm overdue for a haircut, and this mask softened my dry, split ends in one use. I could feel the difference as I was rinising it out in the shower. I'm adding it to my weekly hair routine."
—Jenny, Brand Communications
BEST OVERNIGHT HAIR TREATMENTS
"One use and I can see the immediate shine, bounce, and health come back to my hair. My new weekly routine, I let my hair saturate in it before I shower."
—Sarah, Retail
natureofthings Hair Condition Concentrate
Hyaluronic acid, panthenol and hydrolyzed quinoa join together to lock in lasting hydration. Niacinamide works to balance moisture and form a protective layer that enables healthy hair growth.
Everist The Deep Conditioning Concentrate
"This 3x concentrated formula means a little goes a long way, delivering intense moisture while remaining light enough for an intensive or overnight treatment.
Key humectants like glycerin and aloe vera don’t just attract moisture—they help draw water into the deeper layers of the hair shaft and hold onto it, preventing dehydration.
Unlike water, which can evaporate quickly, these ingredients lock in long-lasting hydration. Using a small amount on your ends overnight reinforces the outer cuticle layer, improving elasticity and reducing breakage from dryness and friction."
—Ava, Licensed Hairstylist
BEST SCALP TREATMENT
"My hairdresser said, "Your scalp doesn't smell like scalp," while she was standing above me, washing my hair. It is without a doubt because of my weekly treatments using Living Libations Scalp Tonic. This product balances oil production in my hair and acts as an oil cleanse to my dry scalp. I no longer feel any irritation thanks to this product. With the combination of essential oils (like peppermint and rosemary) paired with the scalp massage I give myself each time I use it, I feel like it has helped my hair grow out stronger. 10/10."
—Nat, Retail Manager
Rahua Founder's Blend Scalp & Hair Treatment
"I love this as a work from-home-day or overnight treatment. The rosemary leaf extract, palo santo and peppermint oils give a beautiful aromatherapy when massaged into scalp. The formulation is very hydrating and nourishing for both hair and scalp. Got to love a 2-in-1 product!"
—Mary, Retail + Purchasing
BEST HEAT PROTECTION
"Feels like a daily product to smooth my hair and a treatment all in one. My hair feels shinier and healthier with every use."
—Tara, Health Hut Founder
Rahua Heat Protectant Shield
"I love my curly hair, but on days when I want to wear it straight, I apply this heat protectant shield. It protects up to 425°F and acts like a hot oil treatment. So lux."
—Jenny, Brand Communications
