I don't think so, I put coconut oil and castor oil in my hair for hours / overnight

What kind of mask are you doing? if it's just a moisture mask it won't harm anything, most masks are most beneficial from 10-20 minutes, and after a half hour it's usually just to make you feel better because your hair has soaked in everything it's going to.
if it's a protein mask you do want to be careful how long you leave it in because too much protein can make your hair brittle. I never leave a protein mask on longer than the directions, which usually say about 10-15 minutes, but there was one I used that said to wash it out in five so I would double check online or on the package to be sure how long the one you are using is meant to be in.
a lot of oil treatments or oil masks can be used for a couple hours at a time with no issues.
