One reader explains that the "Australian sea kelp, aloe leaf juice and jojoba oil are just some of the ingredients that make hair stronger." Collectively, users say this product is perfect for a quick dry-hair fix and a prudent choice if you're trying to save a penny or two.
Why it's great: Readers claim this product is the "the fountain of youth for your hair," if you color it frequently or use a lot of heat tools. "I feel like my hair is screaming with joy every time I do this treatment," one user reports.
Although reviewers aren't thrilled about the price, they say a "container lasts a long time, and you only need a small amount." For those with fine hair, this might be a bit heavy, but for those looking to add much needed moisture to their hair, readers claim this is the product.
Why it's great: Reviewers say this mask is a must-have for those with dry and breaking hair. "Due to my thyroid disease, my hair dries and breaks so easily," writes one reader. "However, this product absolutely restored my hair, and I definitely want to recommend this to everyone suffering with dry, damaged or dead hair! It's amazing!"
Other readers gush that the mask makes their hair soft, and reduces their breakage and frizz.

"At the end of the day, my hair was still sleek and smooth, and not even static could get it frizzed out."

Plus, the multi-tasking properties have users convinced that it's "worth every penny." As one devoted fan sums it up: "The mask not only got rid of the frizzies, it actually gave my hair body."
Why it's great: Reviewers "can't say enough good things" about this repairing treatment.

Another says this product works "real magic" on hair that "needs major repair work, a split end healer or just a little boost."
Let's be honest, ladies — every single time we flip it mid-conversation, shyly tuck it behind our ears or peek through it when it falls before our faces like a curtain, we know exactly what we're doing: making the stone cold heart of every onlooker melt like butter on the sidewalk in the middle of July. Whether you're rocking a face-framing pixie or waist-length layers, gorgeous, healthy hair is a gal's greatest accessory. But ironically, we often damage it in the process of getting it to that gorgeous state.
After deciding to go red for the eighth time, our hair just can't take the abuse. For all the ladies with dry, over-heated hair; for all those who've gone six months too long without a hair cut; for all the strawberry blondes that were God-intended brunettes — let us introduce you to your new hair savior. Damaged hair, meet deep conditioner. We think you two will be very happy together.
Our readers dished on the best deep conditioners (and hair masks — aka, one step up from deep conditioners) to help your hair finally reach its full potential.
Use one of these after your regular conditioner once or twice a week: apply enough product to cover all of your hair, and put on a shower cap for the last 10 minutes of your shower. Let the stuff work its deep conditioning magic, and voila — healthy, beautiful, heart-melting hair.
