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."

Manushi Chhillar on misogyny that women face in the public eye: ‘Women aren't given credit in the way that a man would'
Manushi Chhillar recently called out the presence of misogyny in the film industry, saying women are discussed with disrespect. Now, the actor has revealed her decision to speak up about the matter, saying that it's time women receive the recognition and respect they deserve. Also read: Manushi Chhillar reveals her biggest challenge has been 'journey as an actor': I've always been naturally guarded person Manushi Chhillar will soon be seen in Maalik. Recently, Manushi spoke up about the perception towards women in the entertainment industry, stating that they are often 'discussed with such disrespect and contempt'. Taking to her X account, Manushi called out the misogynistic attitudes that prevail in the industry. 'I don't think it's something which happens everywhere, and I don't think that everyone is like that, but I do see it happen sometimes — where women aren't given the credit in the way that a man would be,' Manushi tells us when asked about what prompted her talk about the issue. 'I feel we need to give women credit where it's due, especially in their professional lives, and acknowledge the fact that there are multiple women achievers who succeed based on their talent, hard work, and dedication, just like we do with men,' adds the actor, who has been named as the brand ambassador of Wella Professionals for the Indian market. On her fitness regimen After Manushi won the crown at the Miss World 2017 pageant, she decided to enter Bollywood through Samrat Prithviraj. Manushi went on to do projects such as The Great Indian Family and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. For her, fitness has been an integral part of her journey, from beauty pageants to Bollywood. She emphasises that fitness is a lifestyle, not just limited to gym time. She believes that people often dedicate time to working out but undermine their efforts by making unhealthy choices for the rest of the day. 'I'd say that it's a lifestyle (her fitness being her priority). I see a lot of people dedicating a certain amount of time to go work out at the gym, but then, you know, the rest of the day they're probably not eating well, or they're living a very lethargic lifestyle,' she says. The actor adds, 'These are choices you have to make all the time, and you need to make sure that you're supporting that one hour at the gym with making healthier choices — from the food that you're eating to not sitting for a very long time. So I'd say fitness is holistic, and you need to make it a lifestyle instead of just a choice for an hour or two'. On her on-screen persona The actor mentions that her hair has been a very integral part of her on-screen presence. 'My hair has always been a key part of my confidence and on-screen presence, which is why I take its care seriously. Over time, I've learned that hair care secrets lie in both internal and external nourishment, especially with the constant exposure to heat styling, pollution, and frequent travel,' shares Manushi, who will soon be seen in Maalik alongside Rajkummar Rao. Talking about haircare, she adds, 'I make it a point to keep it clean and healthy by maintaining a scheduled hair wash routine. On rushed days or when I'm having a bad hair day, I often opt for a sleek hairstyle—it's quick, simple, and always works. More importantly, I believe that a healthy lifestyle, eating well, staying hydrated and getting enough rest, forms the foundation for strong, beautiful hair. Choosing the right products and focusing on getting the basics right is the key. I've come to really appreciate treatments that nourish without weighing hair down".
