Complete your routine

The Babassu Hair Therapy Mask is a deep conditioning hair mask for curly hair that's dry, damaged or breaking. It rebuilds strength with hydrolyzed rice and wheat proteins while olive and babassu oils put softness back — a plant-based protein hair mask, and the protein treatment in the Babassu family.

If you're protein-sensitive, the protein-free Babassu Deep Conditioner is yours instead. Two jars, two jobs.

Who it's for

Natural, relaxed and color-treated hair that's heat-styled, highly porous or breaking. Not sure which you need? Try the stretch test: gently pull a wet strand. If it stretches a lot and feels mushy before it snaps, it's time for a protein treatment for curly hair — this mask. If it snaps fast with little stretch, you need moisture — the Deep Conditioner.

What's inside this deep conditioning hair mask

  • Hydrolyzed rice + wheat proteins — "hydrolyzed" means broken into small, water-soluble pieces, small enough to absorb and settle into worn spots along the strand, so hair gets its strength and bounce back without a stiff coating.
  • Olive oil — the first oil on the label, rich in oleic acid, which absorbs and softens.
  • Babassu seed oil — melts close to body temperature, so it spreads easily and seals without grease.
  • Safflower seed oil — a light oil that adds softness without weight.

Contains wheat protein.

How to use

  1. Cleanse with the Coconut Shea or Neem Tea Tree Shampoo Bar.
  2. Apply generously root to tip on damp hair.
  3. Cover with a plastic cap for 10–15 minutes; add heat or a steamer for the most intensive treatment.
  4. Rinse with cool water.
  5. Follow with Curl Moisture Cream, Sweet Almond Heavy Cream or Twist Whip Butter.

What to expect

Strands feel firmer and bouncier after the first treatment. Breakage is slower to judge — give it three or four treatments. For frequency, let the stretch test decide, and alternate with the Deep Conditioner when hair leans dry.

Size: 8 oz / 226 g.

FREE FROM: mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates, parabens. Vegan and cruelty-free. pH-balanced at 4.5–5.5 — the slightly acidic range where the cuticle lies flat.

Must have!

This mask provided by hair with moisture.ni have colour treated hair and needed a moisture boost. As soon as I applied this mask to my hair my curls became springy and defined. Lots of slip. Works even better when you add heat to the treatment. I used a hothead cap to do this. Good product that I'm adding to my routine.

Really like this brand

I had been on the hunt for a black owned natural hair brand with simple ingredients and I’m glad I found this. This deep conditioner is perfect for my high porosity hair and I used it a few times a month with or without heat. It also smells really good but I wish it had a seal so the product wouldn’t look tampered with.

Thank you thank you thank you! I have hi porosity protein loving hair. Just got my order today and had to try. I opened it and the mask was very thick. I didn't need as much as I usually use. It smelt creamy if that makes sense. It smelt good!!!! It says 8 oz. But the container seemed a little larger than my other 8 oz containers and was FULL! My hair instantly transformed. Decent slip too. Again thank you. Found my go to and please never change it up.

Tammed My Mane!!!

I absolutely love this deep conditioner! It felt like I was putting butter in my hair. BUTTA!! I have a thick, dense, & coarse lioness mane & my fingers glided thru my curls & coils with ease. THE SHINE LORD. It was an amazing experience. I noticed that I was having some breaking & shedding, so I chose this one to hellp with it. I also purchased the protein free one & I will be alternating each one. Thanks Obia!!!!

Protein + Moisture, a must have

I have thick high porosity 4b/c hair that often struggles with protein and moisture balance. This product is awesome because it gives a nice dose of plant based protein to strengthen your hair without overloading it and giving that hard feeling some protein treatments tend to have. Plus it does really moisturize my hair and keep my curls thriving for the week.

Protein: yes or no?

If a wet strand stretches and never bounces back, it’s asking for protein.

Hair is 90% protein. Damage chips the outside and the protein leaks out. Babassu Hair Therapy Mask patches those gaps with hydrolyzed rice and wheat proteins, then olive and babassu oils put the softness back. Ten to fifteen minutes, every third or fourth wash.

  • Plant‑based proteins
  • pH 4.5–5.5
  • Vegan & cruelty‑free
  • Made in our Dallas lab
  • NaturallyCurly Editors’ Choice
Melt away tangles like butter — intense slip for wash day relief Deep moisture, zero buildup — water-soluble plant proteins, repairs elasticity, formulated at pH 4.5, sulfate and paraben free Plant-based and pH balanced — babassu oil to seal moisture, rosemary to soothe scalp, olive oil for intense slip For every curl and coil — weightless hydration for all textures
Protein here, moisture there

This jar is for strength.

A deep conditioner has one of two jobs: put water back in, or patch the gaps. Babassu Hair Therapy Mask does the second. Hydrolyzed rice and wheat proteins settle into the worn spots along a damaged strand and give it its bounce back. If your hair is thirsty rather than weak, that’s the Babassu Deep Conditioner.

Reach for this jar if your hair…

  • Stretches a lot, feels mushy, and doesn’t bounce back when wet
  • Is heat‑styled, color‑treated, relaxed, or highly porous
  • Breaks at the ends no matter how much moisture you add
  • Needs rebuilding every third or fourth wash

Reach for the Deep Conditioner instead if…

  • A wet strand snaps fast with little stretch — that’s thirst, not weakness
  • Your hair goes stiff or straw‑like after protein (protein‑sensitive) or is low porosity

The 10‑second test: one wet strand, stretch. Sags → protein (this jar). Snaps → moisture (the Deep Conditioner). Bounces back → leave it alone.

What's inside, and why it works

Plant proteins, done right.

Hydrolyzed rice + wheat proteins

“Hydrolyzed” means broken into small, water‑soluble pieces — small enough to absorb into worn spots along the strand, so hair gets its strength back without a stiff coating.

Olive oil

The first oil on the label. Rich in oleic acid, which absorbs and softens rather than sitting on top.

Babassu seed oil

Melts close to body temperature, so it spreads easily and seals without grease.

Safflower seed oil

A light oil that adds softness without weight.

Cationic conditioners

Cetrimonium chloride and stearamidopropyl dimethylamine are positively charged, so they cling to the rough spots on a damaged strand and smooth them. That’s the slip.

Rosemary extract

Rosemary leaf extract to soothe the scalp while the mask does its work.

pH 4.5–5.5. The slightly acidic range where the cuticle lies flat. Tap water sits at 7 and lifts the cuticle; this brings it back down. FREE FROM mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates, parabens. No silicones. Vegan and cruelty‑free. Made in our own manufacturing space in Dallas. Contains hydrolyzed wheat protein.

10–15 minute protein treatment

How to use it.

  1. Cleanse. Start with the Coconut Shea or Neem Tea Tree Shampoo Bar.
  2. Apply generously on damp hair. Root to tip, section by section.
  3. Cover for 10–15 minutes. Plastic cap on. Add heat or a steamer for the most intensive treatment.
  4. Rinse with cool water. Cool water lays the cuticle back down.
  5. Seal with a leave‑in. Curl Moisture Cream, Sweet Almond Heavy Cream, or Twist Whip Butter for a twist‑out.

What to expect: strands feel firmer and bouncier after the first treatment. Breakage is slower to judge — give it three or four. Let the stretch test set your frequency, and alternate with the Deep Conditioner when hair leans dry.

Proof

Your curls get the final vote.

Ask Obia

Questions, answered.

Mask or Deep Conditioner — which one do I need?

Do the wet‑strand test. Stretch one wet strand: if it sags, feels mushy, and doesn’t bounce back, it has protein gaps, so this jar. If it snaps fast, it’s thirsty, so the Babassu Deep Conditioner. If it bounces back, leave it alone.

How often should I use it?

Every third or fourth wash if you color, relax, or heat‑style, or whenever the stretch test says “sag.” Moisture every wash in between. Your hair will tell you when it wants more — it always does.

Can protein make my hair stiff?

Yes, if you pile it on hair that doesn’t have gaps. That’s protein overload, and it’s why this is a treatment, not an every‑wash conditioner. If your hair ever feels straw‑like after a protein product, switch to the Deep Conditioner until it softens.

Is it safe for color‑treated or relaxed hair?

Yes — that’s who it’s for. Chemical services chip the outside of the strand; the hydrolyzed proteins patch the worn spots and the pH 4.5–5.5 formula helps the cuticle lie flat.

Will it work on low‑porosity hair?

With heat, and only when the strand asks for protein. A tight cuticle needs a steamer or heat cap to let the mask in. Low‑porosity hair usually wants moisture far more often than protein.

What does “hydrolyzed” mean?

Broken into small, water‑soluble pieces. Whole proteins are too big to do anything but sit on the surface; hydrolyzed rice and wheat proteins are small enough to settle into the damaged spots along the strand.

What’s it free from?

Mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates, parabens. No silicones, no animal waxes. Vegan and cruelty‑free. It does contain hydrolyzed wheat protein. Every OBIA formula is made in our own manufacturing space in Dallas.

How much is in the jar?

8 oz / 226 g. Apply generously root to tip on damp hair.
