I'm trying to get my hair into shape again since the summer sun was pretty bad to it. It's gotten thicker and sort of fuzzy? I'd like to know of the best hair masks out there, I'll be around beauty stores and Ulta tomorrow. Let me know what hair masks you guys like most! Thank you!

Products wise...here are deep conditioners I like

1. My ultimate favorite right now is the L'oreal Power Moisture Mask. It's not expensive, and it's sulfate and sodium chloride free. It's super light, kind of a jelly like texture that melts into your hair, and when you rinse it out your hair doesn't feel heavy or greasy, just hydrated. This is the blue one. I really, truly love it.
2. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle, which I leave on for a lot longer than 3 minutes. It's really nice, also cheap, smells lovely, and hydrates your hair. It's pretty light, but make sure you rinse it all out or your hair will be a grease pit.
3. Macadamia Deep Repair Masque. This was my favorite for a while, until I found the L'oreal one. After that, I find this to be a little too heavy for my hair. I have to be really careful with this one, otherwise my hair gets greasy the same day. If I rinse well enough, my hair feels super clean and hydrated, but there's a thin line between greasy and too dry if you rinse too much, so this mask can be tricky.
4. Keratin Complex Vanilla Bean Deep Conditioner (also used as a hair mask) it's awesome. It smells like vanilla and hydrates your hair flawlessly. It's also color protective, which is part of why I love it so much. It's not heavy, so if you leave it in for a while it's not going to weigh down your hair, but it is a bit more expensive than others.
5. Organix Renewing Argan mask. It's also a bit on the heavy side, because it's oil based, but it seems to work fine so far. Also color safe, and also $6. It's a pretty good find :)
6. L'oreal Total Repair 5 hair mask. It's like $6, has a super smooth consistency and hydrates hair really well. You do have to rinse pretty well, or your hair gets greasy quickly, but after you rinse, you can add a tiny bit to the ends of your hair and it will work really well.
7. Alterna Bamboo UV+ masque. It's awesome. It smells really light and nice, it's safe for colored hair and it's super lightweight so you don't have to worry about rinsing everything out incredibly well. I also find it super smoothing, I like this a lot.
8. Garnier Damage Erase Butter. It's thick, really thick, actually, but it's pretty great. I like how easy it is to work with, it really moisturizes hair and prevents it from feeling super dry and frizzy. It's pretty good for $5
9. It's A 10 Miracle Hair Mask. It's decent, I like the packaging on it a lot, and the product itself is nice enough. It feels like my hair is hydrated and it works through really easily and gets rid of any tangles I have.
10. Paul Mitchell Super Charged Moisturizer. This is great. It's super lightweight and leaves my hair feeling super clean and hydrated.
11. Alterna Caviar Repairing Mask. I really like this. It's also super light and it feels so amazing on my hair. I managed to get a 16 oz version on Hautelook for $30 or something, which is amazing. It's really worth it. It's so smoothing and it makes my hair really shiny and soft.
12. Biolage Matrix Conditioning Balm. I love this stuff. It smells like my childhood since this was the brand they used in the salon I went to when I was little. It's a really nice texture and there's a ton of it for like $25. It's also available at CVS and Target which is convenient. It leaves my hair super smooth and shiny, not heavy or weighed down.
13. It's a 10 Miracle Deep Conditioner plus Keratin. This is decent, it's been working okay and it smells really good, it keeps my hair smooth despite the humidity.
14. Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! This stuff is decent. It's silicone free which I like since I've been trying to transition to silicone free products. It leaves my hair very soft but it's a little too light for my hair and doesn't help it keep its curl pattern very well. It doesn't do enough to prevent frizz, though.
15. Shea Moisture Shea Butter Deep Treatment Mask. This is great! It really keeps my hair shiny, nice and smooth, and it's not expensive, either. It's a really thick mask so I feel like it does a lot for my hair to seal it and keep it looking nice.
15. Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil mask. This smells great, and I don't need to use much of it to cover my whole head. It doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy, and it's very inexpensive. I do like the Shea one better, but I would repurchase this if I couldn't find the Shea version.

Those are just my opinions and what has worked for me!

Hask protein and keratin deep conditioning hair mask has made my hair that was a bit fried from bleaching a lot smoother.
