Deep Conditioning Treatments (average salon cost: $30)
You can use at-home deep conditioners and still get salon-quality results; the key is in how you use them. Try applying the conditioner to damp hair, covering with plastic wrap and a towel and putting your hair under a dryer for at least 10 minutes. You could also wrap conditioned hair and sleep in it overnight to give the product more time to penetrate. One to try: Graham Webb Silk Repair Advanced Therapy Treatment, $4.49.
