Taraji P. Henson Just Dropped Her Favorite Deep Conditioning Mask for Natural Curls

• Taraji P. Henson just showed how to use her favorite hair mask for an at-home twist-out—and it’s from her own haircare line, of course.
• The Empire star relies on the affordable TPH by Taraji Mask On deep conditioner to deliver all-day moisture to her natural curls.
• “See how it stays long and it doesn’t shrink?” she asked viewers in an Instagram video.

Taraji P. Henson is known for her signature, natural curls—and now we know exactly how she keeps her hair so moisturized. The answer? A super-moisturizing deep conditioner that happens to be one of the standout products from her very own haircare line. And did we mention it only costs $15?

In a video posted to Sally Beauty’s Instagram account, the Empire star showed fans how she styles her at-home twist-outs. After scrubbing her scalp and shampooing, she picked up a container of TPH by Taraji Mask On. “Now it’s time to deep condition my hair with Mask On,” she said. “This cream actually helps to straighten your hair. See how it stays long and it doesn’t shrink?”

The conditioning mask doesn’t permanently straighten hair, it just plies curls with moisture, making it ideal for conditioning and styling. “It smooths out your hair, which eliminates the look of split ends,” Henson explained on her site. “But what I love about this deep conditioner is that it has mango seed butter and coconut oil. It gives it the moisture that [my hair] so needs.”

Formulated specifically for people with curly and coiled hair, the rich cream restores bounce and shine to dried-out locks, promoting healthier strands on wash day and beyond. Henson told Glamour that she uses the mask about every two weeks to make cleansing her hair feel more luxurious—not a bad idea, if you ask us.

Other Mask On users completely agree with Henson’s take. “My hair hasn’t looked this good in a while,” one TPJ by Taraji reviewer raves. “It’s thick and smells great. I honestly didn’t even want to wash it out!”

“This product is absolutely amazing,” another customer reports. “My hair is soft and my curls pop like no other. I look and feel stunning after I put this in my hair.”

“It works great on my hair when it’s overdue for a haircut and I want it to still look healthy!” yet another Amazon reviewer writes. “It smells so good, too, a little earthy and spicy.”

When she was working on her products, Henson took inspiration from her own hair’s needs. “My hair is always lacking in moisture. I have to have moisture,” she told Who What Wear last March. “I love healthy hair. I’ve always been about healthy hair and scalp since I was little.”

Looking at the Hidden Figures star’s flawless curls, it’s easy to see why she’s so happy with her haircare line—so while you slather Mask On in your hair, shop more of Henson’s favorite products below:
