It helps lock in water molecules to retain moisture and restores damaged fibers to strengthen dry hair, all while taking your faded mane and making it look freshly dyed again. Promising review: "Wow, color me impressed! I was hesitant to buy this because, most of the time, anytime a celeb or influencer comes out with their own line of anything, it's mediocre nonsense. But I was swayed after reading the reviews. I had grey hair in the past and used Overtone and another big brand name that you can get at Ulta, and they did an okay job at helping me keep the grey in between salon toner visits. I just recently went back to grey again, and this time, I thought I'd try this one to help between salon visits. Applying it was easy, and I left it on for 20 minutes. As soon as I started washing it out, I was EXTREMELY surprised by just how darn soft my hair was! It's not lying when it calls itself a mask because it rivaled my other hair masks in my bathroom. Better than my Sol de Janeiro mask and better than my Coco & Eve mask. I also noticed that it wasn't straining my bathtub or tiles, nor making a big purple mess, which was not the case in the past with other purple 'pigment depositing' grey hair masks. Overall, I'm SO pleased! Brad really pulled it off. Not only is the color output very much like it advertises it will give, but it's not lying when it says it's a nourishing hair mask. Cheers to Brad Mondo!" —DanaGet it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in 16 shades). Or Lottabody's super fluffy mousse — a lightweight option that'll help your hair air-dry into some super perfect ringlets. If you want tamed frizz, defined curls, and soft wraps, look no further. Your fairy godmother has arrived, and she's surprisingly a bottle of mousse with coconut oil in it. A wildly popular Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo that uses ketoconazole 1% (could be some sort of magical potion but is *actually* an antifungal) to relieve your itchy scalp and help fight dandruff. Ah, just imagine — hair without those dreadful flakes. No more snow showers after scratching your head. Sounds like a dream come true to me. Someone call "Dandruff Danny" from Hannah Montana — remember, him?! A texturizing sea salt hairspray with aloe vera in it to give your waves that boost of nourishment they need to make everyone seasick with envy. Plus, the scent will have your hair smelling like coconut and *may* even put everyone under a spell that makes them want to go to the beach after seeing and smelling your mane. A Cécred daily hair potion — I mean, *serum* that's designed to help bring that density back into your edges and strands, leaving you with a fuller, thicker, more luscious head of hair. How magical is this stuff? Think the entire Cowboy Carter show, like, from the beginning to the end, lights, dancers, choreo, BEYONCÉ. Literal magic.

Louise McSharry: I've ditched my intense hair routine but curl cream is a must
Some subscribe heavily to the incredibly strict 'curly girl method', which has rigid guidelines about the products you can and can't use and how you apply them. Some suggest a combination of three or four products is the secret to getting the glossy curls of your dreams. Others insist it's technique, and things like 'plopping' or the 'bowl method' are the answer. The truth is, it can all be a little too much. I spent a couple of years wearing my hair exclusively in its natural texture and experimenting with various methods. I discovered that there were some techniques that absolutely helped my hair reach its curliest peak, and yes, the use of multiple products could certainly enhance them. I also discovered that I simply don't have it in me to maintain an intense curl routine. Now, I break the rules. I brush my hair after my shower, I use products which contain sulphates because I really missed the lather when I used products without them, and I decided that when I want to wear my natural texture, I'm OK with it being less curly than it has the potential to be. What I am entirely dedicated to, however, is curl cream. Curl cream adds definition and shine while allowing your hair to fall into its natural curl or wave pattern, without it developing a stiff cast or becoming overly done. It's a simple 'your hair but better product', and I love it. Many curl experts will recommend that you only brush your hair in the shower, while it has conditioner in it, before carefully applying your chosen product to it afterwards. This definitely helps your hair to achieve its maximum curl potential, but these days my hair is long and I'm going for a grungier beachy vibe, so I apply some leave-in conditioner (I like Aveda's Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave-In Treatment, €42 via after the shower and brush it through. This results in looser, more lived-in waves, but obviously if your hair is coarser or curlier than mine, a different method might be better for you. Then, I apply a reasonably generous amount of curl cream (similar to the amount of conditioner I use) all over my hair, before scrunching it and allowing it to air dry. The amount or type of curl cream you use will depend on your individual texture and preference. So much of embracing your natural hair texture is about experimentation and having the confidence to ditch methods that don't work for you — this is my method five years in! At the moment, I'm loving Oribe's Curl Control Silkening Créme (€52 via It's light and leaves the air soft and glossy while providing definition. Another great option is Curlsmith's Weightless Air Dry Cream (€29.99 via which is also light but doesn't leave any crunch. For coarser hair, Ouai's Curl Créme (€34 via is creamy and easy to apply while delivering nourishment and definition. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more If you're just testing the curl cream waters, Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk (€9.99 via is a gorgeous leave-in conditioner which almost functions as a very light curl cream. Buying Irish I've been incredibly impressed by Iconic Bronze's launches of late. The brand, which began with false tan, has moved heavily into the cosmetics space, and in short, the products are great. The latest launch, Iconic Bronze Filter Glow, is a 'skin perfector', meaning it adds glow and evenness to the complexion, without any real coverage. There are plenty of products in this category these days, but this works well for the price point. Use it under foundation to add glow or on its own for a 'your skin but slightly better' vibe. Something old… Lots of us are familiar with the benefits of vitamin C in a skincare routine, but for those who aren't, they are numerous. It plays a vital role in collagen products, which boosts elasticity and firmness. It is known to brighten the skin and even to reduce dark spots or hyperpigmentation. It is an antioxidant, meaning it protects the skin from free radicals and pollutants, it acts as an anti-inflammatory and even contributes to hydration. In short — it's great. I've been using Dermalogica's brilliant Biolumin C Serum (€108 via as my vitamin C product for years now. It delivers ultra stable vitamin C, which provides all of the aforementioned benefits. It also features lactic acid, which provides light exfoliation. Texturally and experientially, it's a pleasure. The light serum glides on and, frankly, I love it. ... Something new I always feel excited when Jennifer Rock launches a new Skingredients product. The range is full of excellent products, all of which perform well, and you can trust that they have been carefully developed with intense consideration. The latest launch is 15% Vit C, E + Tri-Mushroom Skin Booster (€45 via which features a potent level of vitamin C alongside tocopherol, which adds extra antioxidant power and hydration. Tri-mushroom is a new ingredient for me but, according to the brand, it is highly nutritious and has been designed to optimise skin health. This booster is designed to be used alongside the existing products in the Skingredients family and has a liquidy texture which is slightly heavier than water but not as thick as a serum. It glides easily across the face and is designed to be used morning and night as part of your usual routine.
