Best-selling under $40 hair mask saving Aussie strands this winter
Dryness, split ends, flaky scalp and frizz seem to hit all at once, turning your once-shiny hair into a bit of a sad situation.
But one Aussie-made product is getting glowing reviews for changing the game and giving salon-worthy results from your own shower.
Meet the Sozo Hair Health Mask, a rich, nourishing weekly treatment that's taking over bathroom shelves across the country.
It costs $39.95 and promises noticeable results in minutes.
One happy customer shared, 'My curls are defined and zero frizziness, almost instant results. This is the only product I have tried that actually works.'
So, what's in it? And why is it getting rave reviews?
Packed with powerful natural ingredients, the Sozo Hair Health Mask is all about natural nourishment.
No silicones, no harsh chemicals, just a carefully crafted formula of ingredients your scalp and hair will actually recognise. Here's what you'll find inside:
Manuka honey to soothe irritation and boost hydration
Jojoba oil and sunflower seed oil for deep moisture
Beetroot extract and argan oil to strengthen damaged hair
Coconut oil for a summery scent and added softness
Aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and native botanicals to calm the scalp and add shine
It's a formula that goes deeper than your average hair treatment. While some masks coat the surface and give temporary smoothness, this one works on both your scalp and strands to restore long-term health.
A winter essential for every hair type
The thick and creamy texture of this mask makes it feel luxe without leaving hair limp or greasy. It suits all hair types, from curly and coarse to fine and thinning, and helps tackle winter issues like dryness, static, flaking and split ends.
Use it once a week in place of your usual conditioner. Let it sit for five minutes while you're in the shower, or leave it on for up to thirty minutes for a more intense treatment.
'My hairdresser has noticed a vast improvement in my hair health. Smells amazing too,' one customer said.
'Best hair mask. My hair is always shiny and feels soft. Highly recommended,' a second review shared.
'I have fine thinning hair, and my hair feels and looks thicker since using Sozo,' a third shopper wrote.
Why it's a winter must-have
During the colder months, moisture is stripped from your hair and scalp thanks to indoor heating, cooler air, and the extra styling many of us do to tame flyaways.
Hair becomes more fragile and prone to damage, and scalps often end up dry, flaky and itchy.
Adding Sozo's Hair Health Mask to your weekly routine is one of the easiest ways to fight back. It hydrates and repairs, boosts shine and softness, and helps soothe your scalp. The coconut oil scent makes every wash feel like a mini holiday.
It's also made right here in Australia and is cruelty-free, so you know exactly what you're putting on your hair.
Not just hype
With hundreds of 5-star reviews and loyal customers who've made it part of their routine, the Sozo Hair Health Mask is more than just a pretty tub on your bathroom shelf. It's a practical product that delivers real results.
It's available on its own for $39.95, or you can bundle it up with the Hair Health Trio (which includes the shampoo, conditioner and mask) for $99.95.

Study shows just one can of diet soft drink increases diabetes risk
If you're the type of person to crack open a diet soft drink at 3pm when you're looking for a pick-me-up without the calories, a new study says that this daily habit might be doing more harm than you think. New Aussie research has found that knocking back just one artificially sweetened soft drink a day, like Diet Coke, Pepsi Max or Zero Sugar Solo, may increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by a staggering 38 per cent. ​​​​Surprisingly, that's an even higher risk than those opting for classic full-sugar options, which were linked to a 23 per cent rise. Professor Barbora de Courten, senior author on the study, told that the findings signal a need to rethink current public health strategies. 'It might be time to broaden the policy discussion not just about taxing sugar, but about reducing population-level intake of all harmful beverages, regardless of whether they're sweetened with sugar or synthetic alternatives,' said Professor de Courten, who is also a specialist physician at the Department of Diabetes & Vascular Medicine. Sugar, artificial beverages, and type 2 diabetes ​​​​The longitudinal study, conducted by a team from Monash University, RMIT University and the Cancer Council Victoria, followed more than 36,000 Australian adults over nearly 14 years. ​​​ ​​​​'Drinking one or more of these beverages each day – whether sweetened with sugar or artificial substitutes – was linked to a significantly higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes,' said Mr Hussen Kabthymer, who was involved in the study. ​​​ Professor de Courten said the findings challenge the common belief that artificially sweetened drinks are a better option. ​​​​'Artificial sweeteners are often recommended to people at risk of diabetes as a healthier alternative, but our results suggest they may pose their own health risks,' she said. ​​​ While the connection between sugary drinks and diabetes could mostly be explained by obesity, the connection between diet soft drinks and type 2 diabetes stayed strong even after factoring in body weight, suggesting that these drinks might directly affect how our metabolism works. ​​​​The study, which involved participants aged 40–69 years, also adjusted for other lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, education, and health history. ​​​ What is type 2 diabetes? Type 2 diabetes impacts about 1.3 million Australians and over 500 million people globally, with most cases related to diet and lifestyle. It is a chronic condition where the body either can't properly use insulin or doesn't produce enough of it, causing blood sugar levels to rise. According to Diabetes Australia, it usually develops in adults over 45, but is increasingly occurring in younger age groups. Over time, uncontrolled type 2 diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart, and lead to serious complications like kidney failure, vision loss and heart disease.

This cult vitamin C cream is 37 per cent off right now and beauty lovers say it's ‘smooth', ‘brightening' and ‘perfect for dry skin'
There's a reason beauty insiders never shut up about vitamin C. It's the glow-up ingredient that actually lives up to the hype, and the latest price drop on one cult-favourite product might just be your sign to join the vitamin C fan club. The MEDICUBE Deep Veep Vita C Capsule Cream, which usually sells for $60, has been slashed to just $37.90 on Amazon Australia. That's 37 per cent off for a face cream packed with brightening power and rave reviews from shoppers who say it has totally transformed their skin. What makes it different? This Korean skincare gem features encapsulated vitamin C beads that burst upon application, delivering a potent hit of antioxidants while staying gentle on the skin. Shoppers say it feels smooth and luxurious, with one reviewer writing it's 'perfect for all kinds of facial skin issues', especially dryness. Another swears it gives a glow that rivals a week in the Maldives, minus the UV damage. What does vitamin C actually do? In simple terms, vitamin C is your skin's overachieving bestie. It helps even out skin tone, fades dark spots, smooths out fine lines, and protects your face from free radicals (think of those as the tiny skin-hating villains you pick up from sun exposure and pollution). It's also known to boost collagen, which is why it's a top pick for anyone wanting to look a little fresher, plumper and less 'I haven't slept in three years'. But vitamin C can be a bit fussy. It needs to be formulated just right to stay stable and actually do what it says. That's where MEDICUBE's encapsulated beads come in. They keep the vitamin C protected until you're ready to apply it, making sure you get the most bang for your buck, or in this case, your $37.90. Why shoppers are loving MEDICUBE Deep Veep Vita C Capsule Cream Feels incredibly smooth and silky. Brightens dull, tired skin for a healthy glow. Targets dryness and uneven texture. Rave reviews from Aussie customers on Amazon Australia. Now 37 per cent off, while stocks last. Looking to build your glow-up routine even further?

Mysterious illness lands newlywed on honeymoon in ICU
It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, but for one Aussie newlywed, it soon became a holiday nightmare.

They arrived in the coastal resort town of Playa Del Carmen but within days their start to married life began to take a turn.

'They sent him to hospital and he's been there now for nearly two weeks,' she said. The hospital stay showed that Mr McCann had contracted an infection that led to pancreatitis and he was rushed to intensive care - but they're unsure of what caused it. The couple's Mothers flew to Mexico to support the newlyweds the same day Mr McCann was put in an induced coma and placed on a ventilator. The family considered medically evacuating Mr McCann but he was too unstable to travel. 'I'm a nurse and from what my sister's telling me, they're doing a really good job taking care of him. They've been checking his bloods, doing CT scans every day,' Ms Holland said.

Despite this, Ms Holland said the language barrier added additional stress to an already pressure-filled situation. The couple are facing additional costs for staying on in Mexico, despite health insurance covering Mr McCann's medical bills. 'Everyone's stressed and everyone's a mess,' Ms Holland said. 'It just breaks my heart and I feel so helpless. She's my baby sister and there's just nothing we can do for them. It's awful.' A Go Fund Me page has been set up which you can donate to here.
