Hair mask eliminates frizz in 'thee minutes' and leaves hair 'salon soft for days'
Frizz, dryness, and dullness are all common enemies for many individuals with textured, colour-treated, or heat-styled hair, a situation not helped by the recent hot and humid weather. However, shoppers have been lavishing praise on a £15 hair mask that delivers smooth, 'salon fresh' hair in just three minutes.
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."
