Best hair mask or conditioning treatment?

I have fairly dry hair that gets split ends easily. I usually have regular trims but missed last haircut due to lockdown and obviously don’t know when the next will be. What’s a really good hair mask or similar that helps hair stay really strong/silky and strong? I’m trying to grow my hair longer as well.

Also any good hair serums?

Philip kingsley elasticiser. Its sooo good. I have dry brittle hair and it makes my hair feel gorgeous.

Didn’t want to read and run. I have really curly hair and love all the Shea moisture hair masks. The superfruit 10 in 1 one is my absolute favourite. It smells beautiful.

I've been wondering this too. Watching this...

I've been googling hair masks today so placemarking!

I have very long hair that is often dry at the ends - I have tried many many hair masks ranging in price and with varying results but always come back to KMS California Free Shape, I literally love it!

Another vote for Elasticizer. I love Philip Kingsley

The new Garnier Naturals Banana mask is good and really cheap, as is the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil mask. For best results put a shower cap over the top and wrap in a towel for an hour or two so the mask can really penetrate the hair.

You might benefit from a protein mask to repair hair as well as a moisturising one. HASK have single use protein masks (from Superdrug), or Giovanni Nutrafix Hair Reconstructor is also good.

The Garnier Naturals banana mask is lovely and smells bloody amazing!

Also, I'm not sure if a protein treatment is what you need, but I use Aphogee 2 step protein treatment for my bleached hair, and it is very good, if a bit of a strange treatment! But you have to be careful with protein as apparently if you overdo it you can make your hair too 'hard' and it becomes brittle. And you always have to use a moisturising treatment afterwards (which the Aphogee treatment comes with).

Coco and Eve. Somebody recommended it on here. Expensive but really good. Comes in a small tube if you don't want to commit to the big tub. Smells lush too.

Cantu leave in stuff. All Cantu. I leave it in overnight and wash it out in the morning.

Coconut oil overnight 😀

I mix fenugreek powder (2 tea spoons) to my conditioner and let it sit on my head for 1h. works better than any expensive mask.
