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."

'Miracle' hair oil transforms 'straw-like' locks in just one use
'I don't think my hair has ever felt this soft, without question this is the best thing I have ever used' While the recent spell of warm weather has been enjoyable, it can cause chaos for those of us with textured or unruly hair, turning our usually manageable tresses into something akin to Monica Geller's infamous 'humidity hair' from Friends. However, shoppers reckon they've found the ultimate answer in a £17.38 'miracle oil' that promises to 'control frizz for up to 96 hours'. The solution comes in the form of Wella Professionals' brand new Ultimate Smooth range, designed to 'smooth and nourish the hair from the inside out'. The four-step haircare system includes a shampoo, conditioner, mask, and its standout product - the Miracle Oil Serum. This serum is a leave-in treatment designed to control frizz for days on end, deliver 85% smoother hair, and protect strands against heat up to 230°C from styling tools as well as UV exposure. It's packed with squalane and omega-9, skincare-inspired ingredients that moisturise the hair cuticle while polishing the hair surface, creating a lightweight, protective barrier. The vegan formula can be easily applied to either damp or dry hair and features a long-lasting, luxurious scent with notes of citrus, floral, and amber, reports the Manchester Evening News. The oil serum is being hailed for delivering 'silk-like results' in those with the 'driest' of hair, with some users dubbing it the 'best ever' product for transforming their 'straw-like' tresses. Wella's Miracle Oil Serum has quickly amassed a slew of five-star ratings, even as a newcomer on the beauty scene. One enthusiast said: "Great packaging, smells divine. If you thought your hair was smooth? Try this and will not regret it as hair becomes extra smooth, will smell fabulous. It becomes sleek and more manageable." Another customer, plagued by extremely dry and frizzy hair, was similarly wowed, exclaiming: "I have the driest, frizziest hair possible, think straw, especially from mid length to ends. This was only delivered today, so I had to use it as soon as I got out of the shower, wow just wow. "I don't think my hair has ever felt this soft, without question this is the best thing I have ever used, and trust me when I say I've spent a fortune on products over the years. I'm about to order another one, or maybe two, so I never run out." However, the serum didn't win over everyone, as one reviewer felt it was too dense for their locks, especially by day's end. They remarked: "I think this miracle oil serum is good, and it definitely helps calm down the frizz, however I feel it is a little too heavy for my hair and at the end of the day it feels a lot greasier than it would have done without the product. "I have tried using a lesser amount, but the product then doesn't work as well. I would definitely recommend this but be prepared that you may need to wash your hair again the following day." On the flip side, some are hailing it as an essential addition to their handbag. One user enthused: "This really does do exactly what it says and smoothes my hair out in seconds. I love using this when I've styled my hair and also keep it in my handbag as an essential for any particularly frizzy days as this smooths instantly." It's clear that not every product will be a perfect match for all. Luckily, there's a plethora of hair oils and serums available catering to different hair types. For instance, Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil might be a great alternative, currently on offer for £19.55, reduced from £28 at Beauty Bay. This featherlight oil aims to mend damaged hair while boosting shine and taming frizz. It's free from silicones, ideal for chemically treated tresses, and particularly beneficial for fine hair that requires repair without weight. For those with curly hair, Only Curls ' new Shine and Define Finishing Serum is available for £22 and promises to smooth and define curls without the typical heaviness of some oils. In other news, the L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Absolut Repair 10 in 1 Leave in Oil is designed for individuals with dry, damaged hair. This quick-absorbing oil utilises wheat germ to deeply hydrate, enhance shine and gloss, while working to minimise the appearance of split ends and flyaways. Currently, it's on offer for £26.29, reduced from £29.10 at LookFantastic. The Wella Miracle Oil Serum is also on sale, along with the rest of the range while using the 20% discount code FLASH on LookFantastic. The smaller 30ml bottle of the serum - perfect for getting acquainted with the product - is usually £22 but is now down to £17.38, while the larger 100ml bottle is £35.60 (20 percent off its usual £44 price tag). The shampoo, conditioner and hair mask are also discounted, priced at £18.52, £20.60 and £24.20 respectively. For better value, there's the Wella Professionals Care Exclusive Ultimate Smooth Bundle with Bag, which includes the shampoo, conditioner and oil for £68.90, saving customers £20 off the retail price. Handily, it comes in a clear, zippable bag that's ideal for taking on holiday.
