No. 4: CHI Transformation System Keratin Mist, $26

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 9.5*
Why: Readers with thick hair like how this treatment-in-a-spray "is very light." Another reader loves that "it acts like a leave-in conditioner, leaving my hair smooth and shiny, whether I use a flat iron or not. I especially like it because of the Keratin, which I found is the best protein for hair." And again, another great smelling product, but this one is "not fruity or grassy like most hair products can be."

Wow--the products! Nioxin, Phyto 9, and Frederic Fekkai have truly gone a long way to improve my hair's health!

Definitely going to try some of these. The argon oil sounds like a really good bet for my fizzy, curly hair.

Theese are all wonderful hair treatments!

There are so many to choose from!

love the loreal hair conditioner

by Tlee Friday, November 23, 2012 at 11:41PM Report as inappropriate

Why can't they make the conditioner they put in the at home dye kits as conditioners by themselves. They usually smell amazing and provide tons of moisture.

by Only1KimmieD Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 12:59PM Report as inappropriate

ARGAN OIL all the way. I got the Pro Naturals one online and it helped my hair SO much, I still use it and my hair is perfectly healthy but I sort of can't live without it now, lol.

by kristin_harrow Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 07:23PM Report as inappropriate

I used to have basically flawless hair, but for some reason it's been acting up so much lately!

by schien Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 03:23PM Report as inappropriate

Some good product ideas to try. I use the Macadamia deep conditioner and Moroccan oil.

by Chris213 Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 07:24AM Report as inappropriate

I have always had REALLY ( straw like ) DRY hair the frizzes badly, and now I color my hair on top of that so you can just imagine! I have used Argon oil and liked it, I bought some thing on impulse just to try it for shine, I actually got it on the clearance isle at Wal Mart and paid one dollar for it, lol. I LOVE IT! My hair has NEVER been shiny, but it is when I use this. The only thing I dont like is if you used too much your hair looks greasy, but after getting the hang of how much to spray on, it is fabulous AND CHEAP! The name of it is PROFESSIONAL by Nature's Therapy , ULTRA GLOSS SINE MIST. It is in a 4 oz clear bottle with a black spray cap.

Argan Oil is the best. Josie Maran's is my go-to.

i really confuse when reading the article.. does hair treatment product and hair masque product different??

Argan oil is the best for dry hair!

by michellefuentes Friday, August 24, 2012 at 07:13PM Report as inappropriate

amazing, used when i let my hair get too dry and it looks like a small bottle, but u need very lil to smmoth and condition your hair to the max, try it you'll love it.

these are great sounding

by LittleBunny Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at 04:23PM Report as inappropriate

so hard to figure out the right combo of products!

by lazorc Friday, July 27, 2012 at 04:55PM Report as inappropriate

A good conditioning treatment is argan oil. Argan oil helps stimulate hair growth and make hair healthy as well. I've used the Pro Naturals Moroccan Argan Oil System to tackle hair loss, frizz and dryness and so far it has worked really well to strengthen and smooth my hair!!

by mary_jacobs Friday, July 6, 2012 at 07:40PM Report as inappropriate

the kerastase mask is good but its just me or something but i cant stand the smell, its too overwhelm

by 4getu123 Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 12:03PM Report as inappropriate

For deep conditioning I recommend using Argan oil. It has SO many benefits for all hair types and there is no other oil with more benefits. Try Pro Naturals Moroccan Argan oil, it's the best I've used so far!

by laura_wolfhart Friday, June 8, 2012 at 04:16PM Report as inappropriate

awesome

This might be a must try for the more eco-friendly who have a hard time finding all natural products that work well.

Ive used Abert VO5 my whole life and I am still using it for a reason! Love how my hair feels so silky smooth, soft and shiny all the time.

by SpaceyStacie Monday, May 7, 2012 at 09:25AM Report as inappropriate

I'll have to try the Aphogee!

by StanziMozart Friday, May 4, 2012 at 01:06PM Report as inappropriate

Excellent post, been using Pro Naturals Moroccan Argan Oil System for my hair and it's great at restoring its health and nourishing each strand. My hair is healthy, shiny and vibrant now :)

I really want to try origins.

Sometimes a little leave in mixed with olive oil does the trick. You don't always have to spend a lot of money to get your hair into shape

by blythe_fenwick Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 07:27PM Report as inappropriate

some of these are so expensive. not so much for a girl on a budget but great choices.

Redken's Smooth Down Butter Treat was pretty good. I still have some left! It can be used as a leave-in, or rinse out conditioner.

wanna try out Carol's Daughter... been hearing about it for long... need to search ebay for it though!!! nice article!

by teema Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at 09:34PM Report as inappropriate

Aussie's 3 minute miracle works very nice for me, it also smells great! (: But I am interested in trying the vo5 hot oil thing next time I deep condition my hair. A lot of these products are out of my price range, but I'm glad I found something that I can get.

by bonjournikkie Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 07:14PM Report as inappropriate

Good article, but I wish there were more low-cost ones featured.

by tarynone Friday, December 2, 2011 at 03:10PM Report as inappropriate

I've tried this VO5 hot oil in the past, and I like it ! Now I purchase my own natural oils ! I warm them up slightly, plus massage it in my hair . This gives you better results without extra chemicals !

by applepiealamode Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at 04:42PM Report as inappropriate

the hot oil is actually really good :)

I need to get apart time job (while paying bills with the full time job) if I want to look good according to some of the items

by Only1KimmieD Friday, October 14, 2011 at 11:15AM Report as inappropriate

i would highly sugges the Kerastase.. its phenomenal! i love the consistency and.. it smells good..

by Mssaralee18 Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 08:34AM Report as inappropriate

I definitely want to try all of the L'Oreal Vive Pro products! If there's more than one on this list then I know they must be good!

Really? Pantene? This must be a joke!

Pretty good stuff :) I was surprised to see VO5, because their hair products never seem to do anything

Great reccomendations. The Redken and Morrocanoil treatments are incredible! The Carols Daughter Hair Milk was just ok to me. I am really curious about the Chi spray. If anyone has any feedback let me know!

I heat style my hair a lot, so I might have to give that CHI Keratin Mist a try. I've been using some Tresamme heat protecting spray, but it doesn't seem to be doing much.

by LipglossandSpandex Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 10:16AM Report as inappropriate

seems like good advice...well def try out some of these. :)

This gave me some good ideas; now I just have to do my ingredients research and find one that won't bother sensitive skin.

I have been using a new product- called Crack-- it is called an "addicitve hair fix" and it REALLY is!!! I use it as a styling aid, and I NEVER have to use my flat iron any more! It is an amazing product-- I got it as a sample when I ordered something else from an on line website-- and I am "addicted"-- lol!!!

by lisaminut Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 12:24PM Report as inappropriate

I love all of Paul Mitchell products. I wish it cost less because I'd like to use a larger amount with my application.

by MarloB Sunday, June 12, 2011 at 04:24AM Report as inappropriate

I have to try some of these out! I'm pretty much stuck with my routine products and lately unwilling to experiment a little! When you have good results with something it's hard to change things up,but a change can be benefitial!

by selma Sunday, June 12, 2011 at 12:32AM Report as inappropriate

Argan oil is good, love that stuff. The hair milk is great, just be careful how much you use. The kerastase mask is AMAZING, but way too spendy!

by MissPurple Friday, June 10, 2011 at 11:23AM Report as inappropriate

Use Argan Oil - raw organic certified eco fair trade. It makes my hair thick, managable, and gives it lots of shine and volume. It is dirt cheap on EBAY (4 oz will last at least a year or two, and its $30.00 or less0
