Repair and treatment
Â
I like this when my hair feels dry and needs a little extra moisture. It makes the ends feel softer without being too complicated.
Cons: I don’t think it’s necessary for every wash.
BRIOGEO Don't Despair Repair Deep Conditioning mask
Â
This is more of a treatment than something I use every wash. My hair feels a bit softer after using it, especially when it has been through a lot of heat styling.
Cons: It’s not really a quick fix, and the price is quite high.

Â
I like that I don’t have to leave it on for a long time. My hair feels smoother and easier to manage afterward.
Cons: Definitely one of the more expensive hair treatments.
A good option when my hair feels rough or damaged from styling. It leaves my hair feeling smoother after washing.
Cons: It can feel a bit rich for hair that isn’t particularly dry.

Dry and frizzy hair
Â
An affordable option for taming those little flyaways and making the ends look a bit more polished.
Cons: Too much can make the hair look greasy pretty quickly.
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum

I mostly use this on the ends when they look a little rough. It also leaves a nice shine without making my hair feel coated when I use just a little.
Cons: The fragrance is noticeable, and it’s easy to overdo.

Â
A classic for a reason. I usually put a little on damp hair or just the ends after styling.
Cons: Can make fine hair look oily if you use too much.
Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil
Â
I like using a tiny amount on the ends when my hair looks dry or frizzy. It makes my hair feel smoother without needing much.
Cons: Easy to use too much, especially if your hair is fine.
Elixir Kerastase Ultime L Huile Originale Ml
Styling and heat protection
Â
An easy one to keep around if you use a hair dryer or straightener often. It doesn’t make my routine complicated.
Cons: Don’t expect it to repair already damaged hair—it’s more about heat protection.

Cons: It takes a little extra time to apply properly.

Cons: The difference can be subtle depending on your hair type.
