Can you recommend an AMAZING hair conditioner?

[tigerbear]

My hair is soooo dry with lots of split ends, not surprising as I use straighteners and the Big Hair styler every time I dry it. Am booked in for a trim next week, but want to make sure it remains in good condition afterwards. What do you all recommend - I already use the Moroccan oil before styling, but what are the best intensive conditioners? Do the expensive ones really work? I'm thinking Aveda, Phillip Kingsley, etc...

Well, my dd has long, thick hair which she straightens and also she swims about 6 hours a week, so her hair coud be a disaster. But it is lovely, glossy and healthy and she swears by Tresemme. Her friends say her hair looks and smells (?!) like the sun

Oh and she also uses Tresemme heat protection spray before she uses the straighteners.

Also, whatever conditioner you do use, once a week after you have wshed your hair and it is nearly dry, rub a glob of conditioner in it and leave it overnight, same as an intesive mask. Or if that sounds too odd, rub in conditioner and pop plastic bag over hair (not head entirely! ) for about 15 min as heat helps it be more effective...

Thanks Posey - Tresemme is what I normally use! :) I think it's good for the price, but just wondering if there's any miracle product I should be trying instead.

varying quite into the plastic bag on head idea

Ojon. Tis brilliant. A bit expensive - I got mine with Christmas vouchers - but my hair has behaved itself so far this year. And the leaflet is wonderfully poncy - something like 'ojon means the tribe with beautiful hair'

redken all soft.

For brilliant conditioning, I find the stuff that comes with hair dye the best. You can buy it separately now, its called 'Nice 'n Easy Colour Seal Gloss'. Worth a try?

Re tresemme I find the silicon based stuff actually works against my hair by stopping it sogging up the moisture it needs. Just a thought.

Perar6ua - where do you get Ojon - can you get it online, and how much is it?

Folly oooh, I've always thought that too about the stuff you get with hair dye - good to hear it can be bought separately now.

Joico - it is fabulous. I use the intensive conditioning treatment every time I wash my hair - so every 2/3 days.

I have always had dry hair, and now I have amazingly soft, bouncy, fabulous hair. I don't need to straighten it any longer, I just blow dry it with a round brush and it holds the style for 2 days. I wish I had discovered it years ago.

Funny that re Tresemme. I really don't like it on my hair but dd does!

Redken Extreme is the one I used a couple of years ago when my hair had been killed by dying and generally mistreating it.

I used these three products - the Anti Snap smells bloody lovely!

(Adds Joico to list - I want bouncy hair!)

on DS hair we use herbal essence - works fab on his very fine, very long "kinky" hair

BTW - am not saying to buy it from that place, that was just the first google result!

Kerastase Masquintense. I treat my hair badly - highlights, straighten it every day, and it saves my hair life from falling apart. I use the one for fine hair, you can get it for thick too. £20 for 200ml from hairdressers but I get a massive 600?ml pot off EBay for £40 ish.

Oh and it lasts yonks as you don't need much. It's basically the same as a keratin treatment you pay tons for at a hairdresser.

Watching with interest - my hair is in awful condition from a bad dye job at a student hair dressers and I want it back to it's soft loveliness!

Oooohhh, I'm getting product excitement!! Thanks ladies - will investigate all of these!

Ojon I got from John Lewis, so should be online too. Think it was about £15, so not ruinous. Kerastase sounds good though.

Morroccan hair oil has transformed my hair

Kerastase Nutritive range - I would recommend the whole set including mask and leave-in conditioner.

Living Proof hair products (Space NK) are fab.
