If there’s one gift we wish the hair fairy godmother could bestow, it would be healthy-looking, shining hair no matter what we put our tresses through. With the daily grind of pollution, damaging UV rays and blow-drying it’s all too easy for our put-upon locks to lose their natural sheen and start looking lack-lustre. Happily, reviving parched tresses and achieving glossy, Timotei ad-worthy hair doesn’t require a magic wand. So if your locks are crying out for products that provide a good dose of high-voltage Hollywood shine, look no further than our pick of the bunch…

Our pick of the products to boost shine and restore radiance...

Smooth Shine Shampoo – Trilogy

It’s best to start with the basics, so a soothing, shine-boosting shampoo is vital. This product cleverly combines gentle botanical extracts and wheat proteins that enhance the health of your hair, whilst helping it to dazzle. Suitable for the most fragile and dry locks, it will even work its magic on frizzy or colour-treated hair, leaving it silky soft and super light-reflective.

Nutritive Nutridefense Masque – Kerastase

For an indulgent, salon-esque treatment apply Kerastase’s wonder masque to freshly washed locks. Specially formulated for dry and sensitised hair this rich, nourishing cream contains glucose, proteins and lipids. These multi-tasking molecules not only work hard to revive tired tresses, but also provide protection against the onslaught of damaging external elements by reinforcing the hair’s surface. The result? Supple, gleaming tresses with shine that lasts.

Enrich Hair Oil – Aromatherapy Associates

This divine-smelling oil is the kiss of life for weather-beaten and generally stressed out locks. Brazilian murumuru butter encourages hair to retain its all-important moisture by creating a permeable barrier that locks it in. Other luxurious ingredients include patchouli, ylang ylang, geranium and coconut oil, which all work in harmony to leave tresses glowing with health. Work it through hair and rinse after 20 minutes, or leave in overnight for a serious injection of shine.

It’s handily-sized and ideal for popping into your handbag as well, making it great for whipping out should you feel the need for an impromptu shine boost.
