I've been using Garnier Hair Food lately since I have a tub left over from trying the curly girl method, and before that I loved the Jasmin and Henna Fluff Ease from Lush. My hair is quite fine and thin, and tends to get oily around the roots, so I try and keep things just on the ends. What is your current fav hair mask or treatment?

They're the "treats" line in the US, I think it's the same thing anyway.
My banana hairfood (Garnier Fructis) has been half-used, but I needed to use up some older conditioners first, so I think maybe I will be using that next week. I use conditioners and masks interchangeably and it works about just the same. I leave them in for the same amount of time as well (2 minutes). I just feel that if a mask after 2 minutes hasn't done a thing, it's no good. And the hairfood masks can function as a regular conditioner so the world is your oyster.
I really love these! Especially the banana and the papaya one, the papaya one just a tad more maybe. But not by much!

I've heard (on YT) from several channels that that is a really good one!

It is! I think it's the one I've used the most over the years. :)

Oils have been my go to lately. I'm trying out castor oil and so far I like it even though I had to mix it with coconut and olive oil to think it to be useable.

My hair is super fine and thin as well, so I always do masks/treatments the night before a day where I don't care if my hair looks a little greasy/weighed down. Currently trying to use up the Ganier treats 1 minute mask, Neutrogena Triple Moisture, Maui Moisture Agave (a bit too heavy for me) & Hask Keratin mask.
I am trying to get better at using coconut oil as well. Is baby oil ok to use on your ends? I used it a few weeks ago and my ends went from very dry to super soft! I'd like to start doing that every few weeks.

Actual henna, and this amazing thing called "Henna n Placenta" by HASK. It's super nourishing. They didn't just throw animal placenta and henna in a blender or anything, it's just placenta protein extract and cassia. So technically there is no henna, but cassia, which is close enough (technically). Sorry, it isn't vegan, but it works wonders on my hair.

I do the olaplex 3 treatment every few weeks, I like it. I also love a good protein treatment mask, just finished the inches reconstructing moisture protein treatment from madam C. J. Walker and an about to open up the Power Base Protein mask from O&M. Otherwise I absolutely love all the Shea Moisture masks! I also love to oil my hair with coconut oil before wash days.

Right now my go-tos are the aloe vera hair mask from novex as I have a ton of it and I've been using a mixture of avocado and grapeseed oil

I haven't used the banana one as I'm not a fan of bananas or their smell, but I really like the papaya one a lot! The fruity smell is really lovely and they make my hair feel nice.
I just used my last Palmer's Coconut Oil deep conditioning protein pack today, I bought 3 or 4 of them a while ago.
Just ordered a bottle of the Joico K-Pak reconstructor treatment, really excited to try it when it arrives!

It is not availbale in stores in this country so I would have to order it online sometime.
My favourites are the Banana hairmask from The Bodyshop
And Coconut Boost hairmask from Andrélon

I tried one of the Hask Unwined deep conditioners, but I ended up wasting most of it because there was just too much product in the packet for my hair. It was OK.
I don't mask/deep condition at all really, everything tends to weigh my hair down.

I used the Love, Beauty and Planet rose hair mask today. My hair seems to have really liked it after one use, left to air-dry. I think my hair feels softer and more moisturised than the banana hair foods one.
