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. "I first used the Briogeo mask on a day when I knew I'd have to be out in the cold repeatedly," says one fan. "At the end of the day, my hair was still sleek and smooth, and not even static could get it frizzed out."
Why it's great: Why do TotalBeauty.com members rank this product as one of the top deep conditioners? "This makes your hair look and feel healthy, even if it really isn't," explains one reader. It's a "fake it till you make it" conditioner that "works miracles" on "stressed, overprocessed hair," according to reviewers. 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. One reader with hair "like straw" says this deep conditioner "leaves ... hair very soft, very brush-ably smooth, and moisturized." Another says this product works "real magic" on hair that "needs major repair work, a split end healer or just a little boost."
Why it's great: "Joico is one of the few luxe brands that is worth the money," one user gushes. "After just one use, this makes your hair like absolute silk." Reviewers say that while the smell isn't their favorite, their "damaged hair loves this stuff."
"It does exactly what it claims: It repairs and strengthens damaged hair lacking protein," one user says. Other reviewers say the product "saved" their "dry, frizzy and color-treated hair."
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.
