    To The Rescue Intense Moisture Hair Treatment


    UK Curly Girl

    This is a lightweight deep conditioner perfect for those with curly to wavy hair types. I just love the sweet smell of this deep conditioner and it leaves a lasting scent on the hair after. Using this product can be a great way to detangle your curls thanks to it's easy slip! 

    After applying to every strand of your hair leave the product in for a minimum of 20 minutes under a shower cap, and you'll be left with the softest curls ever! Key ingredients of the masque are shea butter, coconut oil, black oats and sweet almond oil, all packed into one tub sold for a very reasonable price.
  • As I Am
    Hydration Elation Intensive Conditioner


    UK Curly Girl

    'As I Am' create great products that work best on tighter curls and afro hair, but if you have looser curls don't disregard this product from the brand as it's sure to revamp all types of dry and brittle hair. There is so much power in this small pot! Infused with vitamin E, coconut, sugar cane, green tea, apple and lemon giving it the famous 'As I Am' citrus scent! 

    It's very lightweight so be careful to not spill it down the drain (you'll want to use every bit of it!). Your hair and ends will feel brand new after just 15-20 minutes of using this masque. Want to really elevate your hair? Add some heat whilst deep conditioning via a heat cap or steam for extra great results!
  • Shea Moisture
    Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow and Restore Treatment Masque


    UK Curly Girl

    In need of repair and restoration for heat damaged, coloured, or weak hair? This will be a great natural hair deep conditioner for you! It's thicker in consistency, which is great for the colder months. Don't be alarmed by the brown colour, it smooths out once applied to the hair! 

    The keratin in this masque is carefully crafted in the mix to assist with repairing any damage, Jamaican black castor oil is used for hair growth along with the peppermint which will give your scalp a refreshing revive! Great for those who suffer with dandruff or scalp problems. Get really heavy handed when applying this masque, as your damaged hair will love soaking up this product!
  • Camille Rose Naturals
    Algae Renew Deep Conditioning Mask


    UK Curly Girl

    Okay, sounds weird right? Well the blue green algae is actually great to keep the hair strong and naturally improve its resilience to any environmental stresses! I love the natural ingredients like mango butter, cocoa butter, manuka honey and aloe vera juice just to mention a few, mixed together and rich in 65 vitamins! 

    Camille Rose Naturals are famous for their naturally blended and homemade products. I am a big fan of using this mask when my hair is in need of a burst of life. Sometimes our curls can get used to a product so switching to this will be the restart your hair needs!
  • Mielle Organics
    Babassu & Mint Deep Conditioner


    UK Curly Girl

    Another product perfect for those with frizz, dry curls and a dry scalp! Get ready for a strong minty sensation when you apply this product through your hair, and the powerful smoothing action from the babassu oil. This one is very much on the lightweight end of deep conditioners but still packs a punch with immediate results. 

    This deep conditioner is one of my personal favourites as a sufferer of an irritated and dry scalp. I recommend pairing it with steam or heat to really get the best out of this treatment and lay down all flyaways. Soft curls are on the way!
  • Garnier
    Ultimate Blends 3-in-1 Hair Food Hair Mask Banana & Shea


    UK Curly Girl

    The cheapest on this list but you get so much value for your money! This nourishing banana and shea butter infusion is one of 6 deep conditioners in this line but the banana really stands out. It's 100% vegan and can be used as a leave-in conditioner, rinse out conditioner or hair mask. 

    If you're in need of protein to strengthen your hair this is a great to go-to. It will minimise breakage, and create soft, shiny and strong hair. I recommend using a protein treatment every 4 to 6 weeks especially if you are transitioning from damaged to natural hair.
  • Crece Pelo
    Natural Phytotherapeutic Treatment to Help Capillary Growth


    UK Curly Girl

    We have quite an international product on the list! This is a treatment that completely changed the condition of my hair for the better. If you are recovering from chemical or heat damage you may find that your curls are thinner and may not grow as long as you would like. 

    This hair treatment uses 15 plant extracts and natural active ingredients to not only thicken and grow your hair but also enhance your curl definition! Watch your curls flourish like magic as you apply the mask. Try using it once a week until you notice a difference in your hair's health, then change to every 4-6 weeks.
  • Shea Moisture
    Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Multi-Benefit Hair Masque


    UK Curly Girl

    I love this masque so much! It's the perfect thick and smooth consistency which gives your curls the nourishment they need. Free from sulphates, parabens and mineral oil, this mask is packed with biotin, marula oil and antioxidants that age-defy, colour protect and strengthen your curls. 

    For those who are in need of both a moisturising and repairing treatment, this is the one for you. It is best used on wet curls for it to soak and saturate the hair. If your hair is in need of extra TLC apply a shower cap and heat for an intense 30 minute treatment.
  • Aphogee
    Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor


    UK Curly Girl

    Yep, this one is a real repairer! Using both chemical and natural ingredients this product is amazing to use on a regular basis if you are transitioning from relaxed, heat damaged or colour damaged hair. I used to use this once a week when transitioning after advice from stylists and transitioners in the natural hair space. 

    It helps to build back the elasticity and strength your curls lose when damaged. It uses a blend of keratin amino acids, botanical oils and vitamins to restore strength and softness, and over time you should see an improvement in your hair. It's suitable to use at home but close enough to an in-salon treatment for great results!
  • Bouclème
    Intensive Moisture Treatment


    UK Curly Girl

    Another product on the list that wins just on smell! Bouclème has amazing sweet citrus smelling products that are packed with natural ingredients. This mask I would recommend for curly hair and most importantly for those who are in need of stronger and moisturised hair. 

    It lives up to its name of intensive as it's jam packed with powerful ingredients like camellia oil, which helps to remove tangles, prickly pear seed oil, which is a great source of vitamin E, and sea buckthorn oil to encourage hair growth. Use every wash day to remove dryness and restore your hairs elasticity!
