If you're on the lookout for a holy grail treatment that's sure to resurrect dry and damaged hair, look no further than this budget-friendly leave-in treatment
With temperatures rising and summer kicking into gear, our hair is at even more risk of becoming dry and damaged in the sun. If you're trying to find a solution to "straw-like" hair but don't want to pay a fortune for expensive treatments that may not work, you're in luck.
From the cult-favourite and viral brand, Color Wow, this leave-in hair treatment is set to be your new go-to for rescuing dried and damaged locks. The 50ml bottle normally retails for the wallet-friendly price of £12, but can now be added to your haircare routine for the reduced price of £9.60 from Space NK. If you'd rather buy the full-sized (200ml) product, you can shop it at Lookfantastic, Space NK, All Beauty, and Sephora.
This Colour Wow tonic is a leave-in treatment that restores colour-treated hair by moisturising and protecting it.
This treatment helps replenish silkiness and manageability by delivering a blend of fatty acids and emollients that bind with your hair, creating a 'lubricating film' that mimics the moisturising, natural outer layer of hair that is often stripped away during colour processing.
Infused with Coconut Oil, the formula penetrates deep down to hydrate within the cortex for improved strength and flexibility, while instantly transforming dehydrated, straw-like hair into fluid, silky, supple strands.
This Colour Wow treatment is set to make a "major difference" with just one blow dry. It acts as a heat protector as it revives dry, dehydrated, and damaged curls.
Over at Lookfantastic, shoppers can't stop raving about this hair treatment as it's amassed hundreds of 5-star reviews. One thrilled buyer beams: "I definitely notice the effects of Color Wow Dream Cocktail Coconut after blow drying. My hair feels smoother, my flyaways are tamed, and there's noticeably less frizz. It makes a real difference to the finish of my hair. Love this product!"
Another happy customer raves: " Has made a huge difference to my hair, don't need to use much as it goes a long way, wouldn't be without it now."
This shopper says: " This stuff is magic. In the short time I've been using it, it's totally transformed my hair. I love it and it smells amazing."
Whie another 5-star rater gushes: " This is such a gorgeous product!! Smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling so soft and shiny. Love the colour wow products, haven't been let down yet!"

Cooling eye gel praised for making eyes ‘brighter and less puffy' in 30 seconds
Everything from hayfever to late nights spent dancing at festivals can leave you with puffy, tired eyes during summer, but this eye gel is said to improve them in 30 seconds Summer is all about making the most of the light evenings and sunny weather, which can often mean we're out late, up early, and spending plenty of time outdoors where hayfever and pollen are rife. All that can lead to puffy, tired and itchy eyes, not to mention a dark circle or two. However the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel promises to be an almost instant solution to all of that, with some shoppers saying it worked in under a minute. One glowing review of the eye gel said: 'I was skeptical but I have been a customer for 5 years with Tata Harper so I trust her products. Wow! It works, I woke up with puffy eyes and I used this nice cooling eye gel and in 30 seconds I saw my eyes brighter, less puffy and glowing the ingredients in this tube does its magic. Solution is consistent and I use it morning and night. I'm happy with this Eye gel.' The Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel (£72) is packed full of skin-loving ingredients which help to restore the moisture and hydration to your delicate under-eye area, leaving it hydrated, plump and glowing. It contains kakadu plum and vitamin C which help to brighten up the area, as well as avocado which helps reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of dark circles. You'll also find a green coffee bean complex, which acts as a source of caffeine to boost the eye gel's effect and prevent tired looking eyes. It has a lightweight gel to cream formula which is cooling and soothing under your eyes, something which is only improved by the cooling metal applicator tip, which helps to de-puff your under-eye area quickly. Considering some reviewers saw results in 30 seconds, it's safe to say this is a beauty bag staple to take with you whether you're travelling, heading off to a festival, or just know you've got a late night in the sunshine planned. If you're looking for something a little more affordable, the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal is £15 for a 30ml tube. It promises to visibly smooth and firm the skin around your eyes with a gentle formula, and is a great way for beginners to introduce retinal into their beauty routine. Alternatively the De-Puff and Brighten Eye Gel from Byoma is £13 for 20ml and helps to cool and de-puff your skin whilst also reducing dark circles. However it's the Tata Harper Brightening Eye Gel that Space NK shoppers have been praising, giving it a 4.6 out of 5 star rating. One wrote: 'This is an excellent product! I've noticed a significant reduction in puffiness around my eyes, and they definitely look brighter. I highly recommend it!' One did comment: 'Love this product! My only critique is that the formula is a bit too thin for the applicator – when you squeeze it too much comes out at once, which leads to wasting product. A slightly thicker consistency or a more controlled dispenser could make a big difference.' Others however raved about it, saying: 'Perfect for new moms with dark circles from lack of sleep! Helps put a little pep back in your eyes.'

'I discovered £22 lengthening mascara in £13 LookFantastic box'
LookFantastic's latest beauty box is packed with six products from brands like Lanolips, BeautyPro, Olaplex, Aromatherapy Associates and more As a beauty writer, I love discovering new products that are worth shouting about. And one particular brand helps me do exactly that each month with its monthly subscription box. LookFantastic sends out its beauty boxes at the start of each month and its June edit is filled with a variety of products to help give enjoy some pampering as well as keep their beauty arsenal topped up. And one product in particular from this month has me swooning at the product, application and results. Costing £15 for a one off payment or £13 a month when signing up for a 12-month commitment, the box contains six different products that cover hair, skincare, make-up and bath time. LookFantastic 's beauty haul rivals the likes of Glossybox's own subscription model which is one less item in and costs £13.50 for a off payment and £12.50 for a 12 month subscription. Meanwhile, OK!'s beauty box subscription is £8.99 and this month contains names like NUXE, Revolution Beauty and Mudmasky. With four full-size products and two deluxe sizes, the box itself has a total value of over £60, meaning beauty buffs can save £45 on names like Lanolips, BeautyPro, Olaplex, Aromatherapy Associates and more. The June Beauty Box (Worth Over £60) from Lookfantastic Product Description And three products have fast become my faves, with one standing out to me as a product I'll order again - despite having never previously heard of the brand. Sweed is a beauty brand whose products are vegan and designed with professional performance in mind. With award-winning products that promote a gorgeous 'no-makeup makeup look', its Pro Lash Life Mascara, which is included in this month's LookFantastic Beauty Box and usually costs £22, has left me seriously impressed. Plus, the brand works in collaboration with the organization Billion Baby Turtles and for every mascara sold, they rescue one sea turtle, which brings me joy. Now onto the mascara. As someone with relatively sensitive eyes and lashes that don't exactly have an impressive flutter naturally, I'm always sceptical when testing out new mascaras to see if they'll cause irritation or leave my eyelashes to flop. Thankfully, this mascara - which comes in an appealing aqua blue tube - gave a lovely lift to my lashes with only one coat and with its uniquely shaped skinny, one-sided brush, allowed me to coat each lash easily without any clumping. The brand explains its 'groundbreaking skinny brush starts coating each individual lash from root to tip creating maximum definition and a volume beyond belief'. The black shade also gave a lovely depth to my lashes too and gave me a bit of a confidence boost. I also love that the formula is infused with vitamin B5 to nourish lashes which is an added bonus. Plus, when it comes to taking it off, it melts of relatively easily. I went in first with warm water before setting my trusty Nivea eye make up remover on it to get the last dregs. All in all, Sweed's mascara gets a 10/10 from me. Also included in the box that proved useful, especially in the summer, is the Lanolips Lip Scrub. As someone who suffers from dry and flaky lips, this formula which is made with real ground coconut shell gave my lips a lovely softness and they smelt amazing with its coconut scent. The 70% lanolin is really effective in deeply hydrating and, throughout winter and summer Lanolips is one of the only lip products I use to help keep chapped lips at bay. While this scrub does a great job at doing the same sort of thing whilst buffing away any dead skin, the only slight nuisance is that its instructions suggest: 'Apply with your fingers and gently rub against lips for about 15 seconds. Dab away remaining scrub particles, leave behind the balm.' Now, unfortunately, being a relatively sticky product, it's not actually that easy to dab the particles away without taking off some of the balm, meaning when trying to do so I take most of it off. So its a technique I'm yet to perfect but practice makes perfect. Another really useful product in the box this month is the LookFantastic No Crease Clips (Full Size) Worth Over £9. While they may be simple, these clips are so handy for clipping fringes or loose bits of hair back, washing my face or even just wearing them to go out. I can confirm they do not leave dents in the hair, unlike some clips of this style, which makes them goldust. The three remaining products I'm saving for a day when I need of a bit of TLC are the Olaplex No. 9 Bond Protector Heat Protection and Frizz Reduction Nourishing Hair Serum, Aromatherapy Associates Revive Morning Bath & Shower Oil and Beauty Pro Warming Eye Mask, all of which require time and space to indulge. The one I'm most excited to try is the warming eye mask, as someone who suffers from dry and tired eyes quite a lot. Having tested the Aromatherapy Associates oil out slightly too, I can confirm that it smells divine and just like I've walked into a spa oozing with essential oils. What's more, it left my skin super soft.

‘Magic' de-frizzing hair cream allows you to skip blow-drying in hot weather
This handy hair styling product is a must for the hot weather, taming frizz and flyaways without the need for heated tools like hair dryers and curling tongs When the weather's hot, like the current heatwave we're experiencing, blow drying, straightening or tonging your hair is probably the last thing you feel like doing, but leaving it to air dry can end up in a frizzy (or flat) mess. Luckily, we've found a product that controls frizz and flyaways without the need for heat, leaving your hair looking its natural best. Living Proof Style Lab Air-Dry Styler, £27, is a lightweight cream designed to be smoothed through damp hair. Its magic ingredients are an algae-based polymer and bentonite clay, which work to smooth, define and enhance your hair's natural texture as it air-dries without any crunchiness, allowing you to skip the hair dryer; ideal for holidays or heatwaves. Air-Dry Styler is proving popular with shoppers with all different hair types – from curly to straight – with many saying how it saves them time on drying their hair, and how soft it makes hair feel. "I have gone through dozens of curly hair products and feel like I've finally found the one!" one Lookfantastic customer wrote. "So easy to use, just apply it after the shower and watch the magic happen as your hair dries flawlessly. 10/10 unreal!" "I absolutely love this product – I don't have to waste time drying my hair and it leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy!" another agreed. While many of the users love this Living Proof product on their curly hair, it also works well on straight hair, as one person wrote: "This is perfect for my hair, which is naturally straight but get quite frizzy when I leave it to air dry. This treatment leaves my hair so silky and smooth, I don't need to do any further styling to it once its dry!" One customer, however, was "on the fence" about this, writing that "I'm not 100% on this. It kind of makes my hair feel dry and in need of a wash. It does stop frizz and dries very quickly. It might just be my hair type which is fine and quite thin." If this sounds like your hair type too and you're worried about your strands looking greasy or limp, you might want to skip the styling products altogether, and instead get as much water out of your hair first by using an extra-absorbent towel such as this Noughty Hair Towel, currently £9.79, then twisting and tying it up out of the way. Cute claw clips like these ones are hugely popular right now, and you can't go wrong with an oversized scrunchie.
