To prove it, the SheerLuxe team have shared their favourite affordable products – from hair oils to claw clips… [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/53870) Image: Artem Podrez/Stocksy United All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.

It properly grips your hair, keeping it in place without digging into your scalp and – unlike so many others I've tried – it's actually large enough to neatly fit all of my hair. Since the heatwaves kicked off, I'm never without it – it makes commuting just about bearable. Plus, the glossy navy design strikes the perfect balance between classic and cool.” *Available at* [LOXXHAIRINC.CO.UK](https://www.loxxhairinc.co.uk/products/hero-clip-in-merlot) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/Za9LJga8GNbXtVeUaUN0Hn20kDE=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2F2-sl-editorial-280826-team-hair-under-ps20-monday.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fmonday-haircare-smooth-heat-protectant-177ml-10376312) ## Jenn George, Beauty Director & Acting Senior Wellness Editor #### Heat Protectant, £4.67 (was £7) | MONDAY Haircare “I’m useless at remembering to use heat protection, but the fact that this feels and smells so lovely means I reach for it more and more. The immediate smoothing effect is great, and I know my hair will thank me in the long run.” *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fmonday-haircare-smooth-heat-protectant-177ml-10376312) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/u2TcLhzF3Fgu64xPIgU9W4banO8=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2F7-sl-editorial-280826-klorane.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fklorane-extra-gentle-dry-shampoo-with-oat-and-ceramide-150ml-10338539) ## Rebecca Hull, Group Beauty Director #### Extra-Gentle Dry Shampoo, £11.50 | KLORANE “More than just a dry shampoo, this gives my hair texture, volume and even softens it a little. I also like how lightweight it is. Unlike other formulas, it doesn't coat your scalp in powder, making it great for anyone suffering with itchiness or sensitivities. It really comes into its own on clean hair, minimising any slippery feel and makes my fine, limp hair easier to manipulate and style. I always have two bottles so I'm not without at any stage.” *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fklorane-extra-gentle-dry-shampoo-with-oat-and-ceramide-150ml-10338539) --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/eoWzD5W9V51dSVbPqAGgoczwSE0=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2F4-sl-editorial-280826-mielle.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fmielle-rosemary-mint-scalp-and-hair-strengthening-oil-10339896) ## Lucia Hawley, Shopping & Copy Associate #### Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil, £10.99 | Mielle “After going blonder and dealing with some serious breakage, I started religiously researching hair growth, and rosemary oil kept coming up. I've been using the Mielle version twice a week ever since – I apply it two hours before washing and the difference in my hair's length and thickness has been genuinely remarkable.

An absolute steal at £6, I scrunch this into soaking wet hair and leave to air dry (I recommend pinning off your face to not interfere with the curls). The oil-filled formula is nourishing without weighing my curls down, and the anti-frizz protection definitely keeps the fluffiness at bay.” *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Faussie-curls-leave-in-curl-cream-10323678) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/1FvOjKEl-O4Zel0hX0Cs9ejVt_8=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2F6-sl-editorial-280826-team-hair-under-ps20-hershesons.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=64294&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hershesons.com%2Fproducts%2Fgreat-hair-clips) ## Alex Steinherr, Beauty Contributor #### Great Hair Clips, £10 | Hershesons “One of my favourite secrets I picked up backstage are these jumbo-sized hair clips, and I now can’t imagine my routine without them. I use them every morning to keep the front of my hair back while I do my skincare and makeup, and after a blow-dry to help set that face-framing shape. They hold brilliantly without leaving dents or kinks, which is exactly why the pros swear by them. A small tool that makes a surprisingly big difference.” *Available at* [HERSHESONS.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=64294&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hershesons.com%2Fproducts%2Fgreat-hair-clips) --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/K0el0V79Hkn01UVh3uPixx_k7h4=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2F3-sl-editorial-280826-team-hair-under-ps20-tangle-teezer.jpg) ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Ftangle-teezer-the-ultimate-detangler-matte-olive-green-10368823) ## Florence Eyres, Senior Shopping Editor #### The Ultimate Detangler, £18 | Tangle Teezer “I love a Tangle Teezer hairbrush, especially the detangler.

After I’ve curled my hair it’s the one product that gives it a luxurious blow-dry feel without making it greasy at all.

I use the shampoo and conditioner religiously, then reach for this whenever my hair needs a little extra TLC.

For under £10, it makes a noticeable difference to the hydration, softness and overall manageability of my hair. There’s a nostalgia factor too: growing up as a mixed-race kid in the 90s, my grandma used to buy me Frizz Ease to do my hair, so it will always feel like one of those comforting, reliable beauty staples.” *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fjohn-frieda-frizz-ease-dream-curls-deep-conditioner-250ml-10373797) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/BVoK0UfjTYw7a5alc7DWwcD6U4A=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2F11-sl-editorial-280826-team-hair-under-ps20-mane-n-tail.jpg) ](https://amzn.to/4wR2NxO) ## Nana Acheampong, Broadcaster & Fashion Editor #### Hair Strengthener, £12,37 | Mane 'N Tail “I love this because it gives my hair an extra boost of moisture and protection while helping to strengthen my strands and reduce breakage. It’s so versatile too: I can use it when my natural hair is out or when I have it in cornrows, making it an easy go-to for a quick refresh whenever my hair needs it.” *Available at*
