Beauty lovers are going wild after Tesco dropped a £5 alternative for the viral Color Wow Dream Coat – and the reviews are glowing.
Shiny, frizz-free hair has long been the holy grail of celebrity beauty. Look at Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and even Claudia Winkleman or the endless 'glass hair' videos trending on TikTok.

Now, Tesco has come through with a 'game-changing' product promising silky smooth strands in mere minutes and without the hefty price tag.
Introducing Leo Bancroft's Wonder Coat Spray, a £5 hair mist designed to deliver professional-quality results at home.
Normally priced at just £5, it's currently on offer for £3.50 with a Tesco Clubcard until August 5 - that's a massive saving of £23.50 compared to Color Wow's £27 arrangement.
The brain behind the budget haircare range is none other than Leo Bancroft, award-winning celebrity stylist and TV favourite.
His new Tesco-exclusive haircare line includes shampoos, conditioners and treatments tailored to every hair type, from curl creams to glossing masks, all under £10.
But it's the Miracle Wonder Coat Spray stealing the spotlight as a solution for sleek strands, with fans calling it 'a total game-changer'.
Using heat-activated polymer technology, the spray is said to create an invisible waterproof shield to repel humidity and lock in sleekness, making it a perfect choice for those with frizz-prone locks. Plus, it also doubles up as a heat protectant and shine booster.
And it's already proving popular with Tesco shoppers who have given it a near-perfect 4.9-star rating.
'Frizz-Free Shine in Seconds!' wrote one reviewer. 'I've been using the Leo Bancroft Wonder Coat Smoothing Spray and it's amazing!
'It tames frizz instantly and leaves my hair looking sleek and shiny without feeling greasy. Perfect for quick touch-ups or before styling.'
'I love how this spray smooths my hair and reduces frizz instantly,' a second shopper wrote. 'It gives a soft, sleek finish without feeling heavy or greasy.'
'Excellent product, does exactly what it says on the bottle, my hair is only ever this smooth after a visit to a salon. Salon quality at home!' another shopper raved.
A fourth agreed, writing: ' Miracle in a bottle. Such a fantastic little spray, used it for the first time and already can see, which a noticeable difference in my wild hair.'
Curious if the hype matched the results, I put it to the test.
Straight off the bat, it couldn't be easier to use. After sectioning my damp hair and blow-drying with my trusty Dyson Supersonic, the effects were instant: serious shine, little to no frizz - especially at the crown, where my fine strands usually misbehave - and that just-left-the-salon finish.
But best of all? I didn't have to follow with straighteners to see the effects, unlike with similar smoothing treatments. All it took was the Miracle Wonder Coat Spray, a brush, and a hair dryer.
Nor did it leave my hair feeling sticky or heavy - even after a few generous spritzes.
The scent is subtle (and does fade slightly throughout the day), but the shine and smoothness? It stuck around all day long.
I wash my hair often since it's so fine and gets greasy fast, so I can't speak for its effect past 24 hours. But by day two, even after a restless night, my hair still looked noticeably smoother than usual.
The hype? It's absolutely warranted. For a fiver, it actually delivers.
If you're after a budget-friendly smoothing treatment to add polish and shine on a budget, Leo Bancroft's Wonder Coat Spray, £5, could be your new go-to.
