Schwarzkopf Extra Care BB 11 in 1 Hair Beautifier, $10.99
We love a multitasker at beautyheaven, and that's Schwarzkopf Extra Care BB 11 in 1 Hair Beautifier's claim to fame. Prevents breakage, stops split ends, replenishes moisture, controls frizz and detangles - honestly, what else could you want from a mask? The formula is lightweight but nourishing, fortified with liquid keratin which adds shine and suppleness back to hair.
"I usually find my hair gets quite coarse and dry after blow drying, but I find this really helps to counteract the effects of my blowdryer. My hair seems much sleeker and smoother. The BB cream never leaves my hair feeling crunchy or greasy, in fact whenever I use this I find I have much more glossy and manageable hair." - phrophro. Read more reviews here...
Essano Argan Oil Recovery Hair Mask, $15.99

"I have used many hair masks before but I have to say this has to be one of the best, my hair felt amazing, it obviously couldn't undo the breakage or the split ends but it definitely left it looking more hydrated and stronger so I would be less prone to breakage and split ends." - joannachiem.

Keratin is a haircare hero, and Klorane Keratin Strength makes the most of its power with this deep conditioning treatment. Non-greasy, non-sticky and leaves your hair soft and shiny - win!
"My hair fall seems to lessen after 3 weeks of continuous usage. My hair fall problem is mainly from the roots, not from breakage of fragile hair. Hence, after applying the product on my root religiously for 3 weeks, I noticed some improvement. My hair seems stronger, less hair fall that is noticeable on my hairbrush and hair ties." - zanox.

I love Hask and their mask sachets, the unwined ones are awesome. Have tried the OGX argan oil one, did not really do anything for my hair

I always like Schwarzkopf EC but I haven't tried the one pictured. I've used Hair Recipe shampoo & conditioner before (plus, I've got another shampoo coming in my Rewards Room order), so I wouldn't mind trying their mask too.
