I gave the FUL London Intense Moisture Hair Mask Treatment a solid 4/5. It’s deeply hydrating, cruelty-free and vegan, smells lovely, and my frizz was noticeably reduced after using it. The only downsides are the price if you don’t catch it on offer, and the fact that it may feel a little rich if you have very fine hair.
