Hair mask eliminates frizz in 'thee minutes' and leaves hair 'salon soft for days'
The Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Mask is one of four new offerings from the brand's latest range, promising glass-like shine and 96-hour frizz control. The line also includes a shampoo, conditioner, and serum for a comprehensive haircare routine.
But it's the mask that's been stealing the show for fans, described by users as a 'post-shower pampering' essential that's 'worth every penny'. This skincare-inspired range features hero ingredients squalane, often found in high-end facial oils to provide lightweight moisture, and omega-9, a fatty acid known for softening and conditioning hair.
The moisturising hair mask promotes smooth, radiant-looking lengths, and is priced at £15.60 for a small 75ml tube, or £30.25 for the 150ml tub. Designed for weekly use, the Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Hair Mask rejuvenates the look and feel of dry, frizz-prone strands for results that reportedly last up to three days.
It's also vegan, cruelty-free, and suitable for use alongside your existing shampoo and conditioner, although pairing it with the full Ultimate Smooth line, particularly the Miracle Oil Serum, enhances the benefits even more, reports the Manchester Evening News.
If you're not quite sold yet, or just love options, there are a few other frizz-fighting hair masks worth considering. The Kérastase Discipline Maskeratine is usually £47 but is currently reduced to £42.30 at LookFantastic. The rich and luxurious mask is said to provide intensive conditioning, visibly repair hair and increase manageability.
Alternatively, the Living Proof No Frizz Intense Moisture Mask is £28.50, down from £38. The silicone-free mask nourishes the hair's natural protective layer to defend against the effects of humidity, leaving strands silky and lustrous.
Though recently launched, the Ultimate Smooth Hair Mask has already captured the attention of beauty enthusiasts, boasting a 4.86 star rating from devotees. One reviewer commented: "Amazing hair mask. A lovely post shower pampering of my hair. My hairs are definitely shinier and soft all within three minutes which is amazing. It smells amazing and is packaged beautifully too. Worth every penny."
Another customer remarked: "I really enjoyed this product, not only did it smell incredible, it left my hair with that fresh salon soft for days, I also found that I wasn't having to wash my hair as often as if it still looked and felt clean."
That said, several customers found the fragrance somewhat intense. One commented: "I used this on clean and wet hair a couple of times. I didn't like the scent at all but I can say it has left my hair feeling nourished and smooth with softness, my hair is normally a bit frizzy but this has left it feeling nice.
"Lovely mask for dull, dry and frizzy hair," wrote a fourth reviewer. "Scent might feel a bit overwhelming. Nice texture and a small amount needed. Feeds hair nicely and leaves them shiny, manages frizz as well. Good value for money. I would recommend as does what it says."
Another customer noted: "This hair mask smells lovely, plus it is lightweight and gentle on the hair, beautifully detangles the hair perfect for dry and frizzy hair."

We all have those days where we need to throw on a T-shirt and head out of the door, but there's no reason for the top to not look stylish. Instead of reaching for an old tee at the bottom of your wardrobe, it's worth considering one of Boden's popular options. In fact, shoppers are so pleased with the Isla Jersey Shirt that they're snapping it up in multiple colours. Originally priced at £46, shoppers can now grab the blue or white version with a whopping 60% discount, now just £18.40. Crafted from a soft cotton and modal blend, the Isla Jersey Shirt is cut in a straight and regular, easy shape that's neither too tight nor too loose. It's designed to fall between the waist and hip, making it a versatile piece for both casual lunches or office wear. For money-saving tips, The top is finished off with raglan sleeves that add a sophisticated touch to the otherwise casual blouse. Shoppers can pick it up in sizes four to 22, most of which are still available online. If you like the silhouette but not the light blue colourway, not to worry. It also comes in pink paisley, priced at £41.60, white, £18.40, cerulean blue, £26, iguana green, £31.20, purple damson, £27.60, and ivory floral, which costs £52, reports the Manchester Evening News.

A really pretty summer top, true to size and comfortable to wear." Another happy buyer remarked: "Absolutely love this top, so cool in the hot weather, doesn't crumple or crease. The material is soft and comfortable, that's why I bought three in different colours. "Absolutely love this shirt," declared another. "Planning to purchase another in a different print. Light and perfect for summer. Fit was great - sleeves are not tight at all, and love the fabric." However, one shopper wasn't as impressed with the Isla Jersey Shirt, describing it as 'shapeless' and leaving a three-star review: "The pink pattern is lovely but the fabric is very lightweight - the cut was on the large side and quite shapeless." They added: "Not sure what was going on, it's as though AI designed it, the neckline sat at an odd level, undoing the buttons did not make it look like the photos online. Plus, I was expecting a lot more from this price point." However, another shopper was thrilled with their recent Boden buy, stating: "I bought this top in pink a few weeks ago and liked it so much, bought it in blue. Great fit, lovely material and both have been well admired."

‘I found an innovative red light LED hair brush that's perfect for encouraging faster hair growth'
Shopping Writer Meghan has found an red light hair brush that's said to help encourage hair to grow back faster and healthier - and it comes with a budget-friendly price tag Red light therapy is all the rage at the moment, as beauty buffs bask in its benefits for the skin, especially when it comes to rejuvenating a dull complexion and combating signs of ageing. That said, red light doesn't just stop there. It's been proven that red light therapy can also help stimulate the scalp, helping hair follicles to reproduce faster and healthier. Red light can help reverse hair loss and encourage hair to grow back fuller, stronger, and shinier than before. CurrentBody, a brand known for its LED red light beauty gadgets, offers an LED Hair Growth Helmet that, with regular use, can increase hair growth rate by 128% in 12 weeks. That said, this CurrentBody helmet retails for the hefty price of £649.99. But if you're looking for a way to add red light to your haircare routine without blowing the bank, this LED hair brush that I found may be just the ticket. This StylPro Root Renew Hairbrush is a red light therapy hairbrush designed for daily use. It increases volume and creates polished touch-ups to your hairdo. What's more, this hair brush retails for a fraction of the price of other red light therapies, selling for £39.99 at Lookfantastic. It's also available from Boots, Next, Superdrug, and Amazon for the same price. This StylePro Root Renew Hairbrush is thoughtfully designed with both beauty and functionality in mind. The innovative brush effortlessly nurtures the scalp to promote optimal conditions for healthy-looking hair growth, using red light that stimulates the blood flow of oxygen and essential nutrients to hair follicles, increasing hair density and faster growth. Boasting a handy shape that ensures targeted treatment for optimal scalp coverage in patches that need attention. Perfect for busy mornings, midday touch-ups, or post-work transitions, the Root Renew Hairbrush is a great choice for both at-home and on-the-go use. Combining haircare and smart technology, the red-light therapy brush has a 655mm LED light and soothing vibrations to help reduce the rate of hair loss while creating a sleeker, rejuvenated finish. What's great about this hairbrush is that it's completely cordless and capable of being recharged periodically. So you can easily throw this small gadget in your bag to use when you're outside of the house or while you're at home, going about your everyday chores. Equipped with 49x LED Bristles that make this brush feel like your average hairbrush, the StylPro Root Renew promotes hair growth and improves hair health by stimulating the scalp, boosting circulation, and enhancing follicle activity with expert-recommended wavelengths.

Its customizable approach ensures a comfortable and effective treatment for everyone, promoting hair health without compromise, while stimulating hair follicles and encouraging thicker, healthier hair. I can't attest to the long-term benefits of this hairbrush yet, but plenty of shoppers have been quick to sing its praises. One 5-star reviewer raves: "Love this brush I use it at night so relaxing. It also seems to make my hair feel like there's more of it lol. As I'm a fine haired gal this makes me very happy. Can't comment on hair growth as haven't been using it long enough." Another buyer beams: "Great, easy tool to use, been using it for a few weeks and seeing small improvements to thicker hair growing from my scalp!" Further accolades come from this customer who shares: "Amazing!! I have never tried anything like this before, and it has done wonders for my hair health! After only a couple of months of using, I have seen new baby hair growth and less breakage around my scalp!" And a further shopper chimes in: "I've been using this every other day and it's really relaxing on a night before bed. The vibration gives a really lovely massage and relieves any head tension. After around 2 weeks of use I've noticed less hair is coming out when I brush. Excited to see the prolonged results!"
