All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.
Glycolic Gloss Leave-In Serum, £7.99 (was £15.99) | L’Oréal Paris
This serum is specially formulated to tackle rough, porous and unruly hair that looks flat and lifeless. It does so by using glycolic acid, traditionally found in skincare formulas, which is able to penetrate the hair fibre deep down and improve shine, elasticity and hydration. In clinical trials, hair showed an 82% improvement in shine, a 54% improvement in smoothness, and up to 75% less frizz. If your hair is in serious need of rescuing, try adding to the end of a four-step routine which also includes a shampoo, conditioner and intensive treatment.

The Rich Shampoo, £43 | Augustinus Bader
Formulated with the same proprietary complex that makes its skincare so sought after, this duo contains the brand’s famous TFC8 complex. Containing a blend of amino acids and vitamins that encourage natural renewal, it also protects and repairs damaged follicles and restores balance to a compromised scalp. While there is an original version of both the shampoo and conditioner, the rich formula is particularly nourishing on dry hair or hair that’s prone to frizz or shedding.

Halo Hydrator Calming Hydration Scalp Mask, £26 | Straand
If your hair is lacking in shine and looks dull it might be that your scalp is imbalanced. If that is the case, look no further than this cooling, soothing mask from scalp experts Straand. Designed to decongest and calm irritation – as well as deeply hydrate with a blend of niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera – this jelly-like mask will strengthen your strands as it gets to work on your scalp. As a bonus, the gel texture means it also makes a great styling product if you want to try a slicked-back bun or ponytail (while your hair reaps the benefits).

Moisturising Volume Spray, £26 | Fable & Mane
Adding softness and extra volume to brittle, dry and limp strands, this styling spray uses sulphur-rich onion extract to hydrate hair strands, promote collagen production and strengthen, and apple extract to encourage blood circulation and better nutrient flow to the scalp. Apply to the lengths and ends of damp hair whenever you feel it needs a boost, then dry as normal. The beautifully scented formula also offers heat protection.

Bright Blonde Radiance & Repair Treatment, £47 | Oribe
When blonde hair gets dry and damaged, it can become brassy. Counteract any unwanted yellow tones with this intensive repair treatment that reverses brassy tones and reinstates hydration, seals split ends, and improves hair’s elasticity and bounce. The spray formula makes it easy to use after shampooing, and unlike many hair masks it doesn’t need to be left on for a long time to work its magic. Simply work through hair, leave for three minutes and revel in soft, shiny hair once dried. A great product to use between salon visits or when hair feels lacking in vitality.

Triple Bond Complex, £42 | Living Proof
Think of this little bottle as the ultimate in damage control. A saviour for hair that’s looking worse for wear, it uses the brand’s 3D Fortifying Technology to rebuild the integral bonds that keep hair strong and healthy, but that get easily damaged with chemicals, heat and UV. As well as replenishing strength and suppleness, it deals with frizz and flyaways, and promotes better shine and softness. Add into your routine once a week – there’s no need to rinse – and get ready for your best hair yet.

Intensive Shine Repairing Oil, £41.95 | Kérastase
One of the reasons hair can become dry and brittle is excessive heat or chemical treatments. If you’ve overdone it, it might be time to give your hair some TLC in the form of this restorative treatment oil that acts like a comfort blanket for distressed strands. It’s intensive yet lightweight, meaning there’s no oily residue left afterwards. To use, massage a couple of pumps through lengths and ends before you blow dry. Tests showed it left 92% fewer visible split ends and up to four times shinier hair.
