Mostly A - Matrix Total Results Miracle Creator Multi-Tasking Spray 

4.63 stars out of a maximum of 5

568

RRP: £16.61Current price: £14.95

Jayne, senior regional education developer for Matrix Haircare said: 

“This multi-tasking formula has so many benefits for your hair, but my top 3 would have to be: heat protection (up to 230°C), frizz control for air-drying or blow-drying and detangling – helping to avoid those painful knots.”

“The key ingredients in this lightweight spray are two healthy humectants, acetamide and lactamide, which promote softness, shine, body and manageability. Lactic acid also helps to provide a protective layer against heat damage.”

Infused with coconut and sweet almond oils, this treatment will leave you with salon-worthy results and help maintain a vibrant, healthy colour for longer.

Mostly B - Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner Moisturising Bundle

RRP: £53.50Current price: £40.13

Jimmy Greene-Wright, professional hairstylist and head of Redken and Pureology education said: 

“A number of factors can cause hair to become dry such as: excessive washing, heat styling or exposure to chemicals. The Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner contain jojoba oil, green tea, sage and Antifade Complex®, renowned for their soothing properties, perfect for dry, colour-treated hair.”

“These products are very concentrated, so you only need to use a very small amount each time you cleanse your hair. Each Pureology bottle has a bud on the top of the lid which serves as a guide of how much you should use.”

Featuring the brand’s signature blend of lavender, bergamot and patchouli, enveloping your hair in opulent freshness. 

 

Mostly C - Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment 150ml 

Jimmy Greene-Wright, professional hairstylist and head of Redken and Pureology education said: 

“You can use this treatment after every time you shampoo and condition your hair. Apply it before you do any heat styling to protect your hair.”

“It’s formulated with citric acid, which penetrates deep into the hair cortex to strengthen and protect weak bonds. The 5% conditioning care complex helps to nourish and smooth the hair, making it silky to touch and more manageable.”

For a polished, healthy look, integrate the Redken ABC Leave-In Treatment into your haircare regime and indulge in its rose and lemon-like scent.

 

Mostly D - L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Nourishing Hair Mask 250ml 

4.72 stars out of a maximum of 5

RRP: £30.00Current price: £26.75

Victoria Strain, L’Oréal Professionnel  pro said:

“Did you know that there can be excess levels of metal in your hair, which can get absorbed through your shower water? This can cause breakage and premature colour fade. The Metal Detox Hair Mask is enriched with glicoamine, working to remove metal deposits in your hair, leading to smoother, stronger and softer strands.” 

“Suitable for all types of hair and textures, I recommend that people with thicker hair apply this product instead of their conditioner, while finer hair types use it as a mask 1-2 times a week after shampooing.” 

You might not be able to see the copper deposits by the naked eye, but you can see split ends, weak strands and dull colour. Mane-tain luscious locks with this citrus scented, advanced hair mask. 

 

Mostly E - Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil 75ml 

4.75 stars out of a maximum of 5

RRP: £58.00Current price: £46.40

Chloe, Kérastase expert said: 

“You can incorporate the iconic Kérastase Elixir Ultime Oil into your daily routine in so many ways. Use it as a nourishing pre-cleanse to prepare your hair, apply it before blowdrying for heat protection and enhanced shine, or smooth it through your hair for effortless touch-ups throughout the day, leaving your hair smoother and more manageable.” 

“Choose your application based on your needs: applying to wet hair offers easier detangling and heat protection, while applying to dry hair unlocks maximum shine and frizz control. “ 

Its luxurious fragrance and indulgent Kérastase fragrance will take any routine to the next level.

From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
