If you do use a mask can you recommend one? Also a really good conditioner ?
Hair currently like straw and a friend suggested using a mask , also all the conditioners I've used don't really make a difference. I've used Aussie and Pantene conditioners.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Another mention for Garner ultimate. Have just got the aloe Vera one. In a large tub- can use as a mask, conditioner and leave in conditioner. I did all 3. Then added more yesterday as a leave in. Amazon selling for around £3.25 but £2.95 if you buy from Amazon fresh! I ordered on Tues lunchtime - it arrived 3 hours later. My hair was very dry- now soft again- I’m impressed! Ps have tried many products before - very expensive to cheap. This one has worked!! Not sticky, or weighty just soft conditioned hair.

Another vote for PK Elasticiser here, you don't need much and it really leaves the hair soft and moisturised, brilliant stuff! Just make sure to remember to use it pre shampoo.

I've been using Olaplex since January and I'm not a total convert. I have long single process blonde hair and although I have to admit the breakage is less, I haven't found it to be the miracle worker it's touted to be. I've used the whole lot from No 1, 2, 0, 3, 4 and 5, now going into the 8th month of use.

I've tried various products including Oribe and Kerastase as well as PK and I don't think you can go too far wrong with the Elasticiser.

Also half price (£3.95 I think) in Boots at the moment

I like the mask from Moroccan Oil, it comes in a tub. I used it when my hair was longer and coloured, and it left my hair soft and shiny. You don't say how often you wash your hair; try to leave a few days between washes so you are not stripping the natural oils from your scalp.

Now that my hair is shorter and left grey I hardly need to condition.

FannyCornforth I only use No. 4 & 5. Ordered online from Selfridges (maybe more reliable, as I can't imagine they have fake products!). I did notice they also have No. 0, but not sure about No. 2.
