More often than not the secret to a good hair day starts with the type of products you use. Sometimes, it is better to invest in the brands and products that use high-quality ingredients to get the A-list hair you’re after. Luckily, HELLO! has rounded up the very best hair care products on the market. See what we’re using on our locks, below.
The best hair mask for... coloured hair that needs a little help
Known for its oil-infused hair products, Moroccanoil is our go-to for glossy hair. One of the brand’s most recent launches is the Colour Depositing Masks, which work as deep conditioning masks that also deposit temporary rich pigments into the hair while they moisturise. The result? Shiny, lustrous locks that ooze colour vibrancy.

The best rinseless cleanser for... hair that needs a refresh
Luxury hair care brand AVEDA recently launched a new, cruelty-free and vegan Foam reset™ rinseless hydrating hair cleanser, which works to clean and refresh the scalp in-between washes. Essentially, it’s the fancy version of a dry shampoo – and we’re totally obsessed. It can also help to tame frizz for up to 72 hours, and works on all hair types and textures, including extensions, braids and weaves.
