How does a salon deep conditioning treatment compare with a hair mask?

Is a deep conditioning treatment worth it at a salon?
It is worth it when the hair is dry, brittle or over-processed and ordinary conditioner has stopped helping, and it is not needed for healthy hair.
Hair that tangles, snaps and feels like straw is the clearest case. The results fade with washing and heat styling, so a specialist advises on upkeep.
Why invest in conditioning treatments?
Conditioned hair breaks less, tangles less and takes smoothing treatments better, so conditioning protects the length you have.
Hair that is repaired first is also better prepared for heat treatments.
