A deep conditioning treatment is often referred to as a hair mask and as you may have expected, a deep conditioner is a richer and more intensive version of an everyday conditioner — simple, right?

So whether your hair is feeling the brunt of heated styling tools, too many trips to the salon for a colour transformation (bleach babes, we’re looking at you) or even weather conditions playing havoc with your strands, a deep conditioner for dry hair needs to be your next purchase.

Now, there’s no set frequency for how often your should be using a deep conditioner, as it all depends on how damaged your hair and its needs. But remember, it’s always important to read the label for instructions and use this as a guide.
