Inside it contains 10 items from major brands, with an incredible seven of them being full-sized. Despite costing just £45, it's entire worth is said to be £219.10, meaning shoppers are saving themselves over £174 overall. The Mirror reports that the box includes a full-size bottle of Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Fortifying Leave in Treatment, a UKHAIR Hair Growth Serum and, for those who struggle with knotty hair, a Tangle Teezer hair brush. Also included is a Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment and two Kérastase products: a Nutritive Nectar Thermique and a Gloss Absolu Conditioner for All Hair Types - the latter boasts ingredients such as glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid and wild rose. If your hair needs some strengthening, the £45 haircare box also contains Wella Professionals Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue Spray, along with a Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Joia Strengthening + Smoothing shampoo and conditioner set. And for those who colour their hair, there's a FUL Colour Care Shampoo. If the aforementioned set doesn't capture the attention of shoppers, Superdrug offers a tempting alternative for £32 – the Nature Spell Haircare Heroes Gift Set.

For those considering another options, the Beauty Works Styling Heros Gift Set is on the table at £29.99, despite its actual value of £38.98.

Beauty deal of the week Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops. One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle. Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow. Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade. Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day. Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow." One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing! "I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!" Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here. Speaking of the selection inside the Premium Hair Beauty Box, one Boots shopper said of the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment: "I have been using this product for about 6 months now and I cannot get enough! For someone who is bleached and over heat treated hair this product has completely changed my hair. "A really thick and creamy consistency with subtle smell.

13 best hair brushes for painless detangling and silky smooth strands in 2025
Hair brush FAQs Can you use a hair brush on wet hair? Trichologist Deborah Maguire says that you can use any brush designedfor wet hair. She says: 'Hair is more fragile when wet, so you'll want to use a wet brush like a Tangle Teezer (£14, or a wide-tooth comb and pair this with a conditioner or leave-in spray to help detangle and glide through the hair without tension.' Do different hair types need different brushes? Maguire says: 'There are brushes that are more suitable for different hair types and results.' Different bristles work for different hair textures. Maguire explains: 'Boar bristles create lovely shine and smoothness, and are best for straight, fine and wavy hair, as they're super gentle and help to distribute the scalp's natural oils.' They can help to minimise frizz, too. For wavier and curlier hair, Maguire says: 'Nylon bristles help with detangling and volume and are better suited to 2A-3B hair. They offer more grip than boar bristles and are brilliant for getting through slightly thicker textures without causing breakage and static.' However, Maguire suggests that a mixture of nylon and boar bristles can help 2A-3B hair achieve volume and bounce. For afro textures, Maguire says: 'Plastic or silicone bristles offer flexibility and are therefore good for 3A-4C hair. The bristles glide through curls and coils quite easily, reducing tension and breakage, especially when detangling wet hair.' Wooden bristles are a good choice for scalp health. 'They're natural, anti-static, eco-friendly and provide gentle detangling and scalp stimulation.' What is the best hair brush for detangling? For Maguire, this depends on your hair type: 'Paddle brushes are good detanglers for straight and wavy hair, as they have flexible bristles and ball tips. On curly or coily hair, you want to use a detangling brush with flexible rows or a wide-tooth comb.' What is the best hair brush for heat styling? When it comes to heat styling, you have options. 'A brush with a mix of boar and nylon bristles helps with smoothness, shine and volume when styling with heat,' says Maguire. 'This type of brush is also good for people with long extensions.' If you're in a rush, 'a ceramic vented brush will speed up drying time and help prevent heat damage', adds Maguire. Meanwhile, to help define curls while using heat, 'a traditional wrap brush, like a Denman (£11, is good for gentle heat styling'. Can a hair brush boost scalp health? 'Not only will [a hair brush] stimulate blood flow and healthy hair growth, but dead skin cells will be removed from the scalp, preventing congestion,' says Maguire. 'Brushing helps to spread natural oils throughout the hair, not only mitigating the build-up of product but nourishing those lengths.' The verdict: Hair brushes While the best hair brush for you will depend on your hair type and preferred styling techniques, overall, it was Ziggy's flexi brush that came out on top for us. The flexible design minimised tugging and frizz with ease, and there are variations of this brush available for multiple hair types. For travel, it was The Detangler that proved most effective, while, for curly hair, Bounce Curl's edgelift brush helped create effortless curl definition. Lastly, Cantu 's elongated comb and boar-bristle combo was found to be a top pick for curls and afro coils.
