In Partnership with Moroccanoil.
Irresistibly glassy strands that glisten and gleam in the sun – yep, that’s my Summer moodboard.
As a big fan of anything that promises mirror-like shine, this two-step Moroccanoil routine has quick become my go-to lineup.
These new beauties give that high-gloss sheen that makes even a simple ponytail feel polished and intentional. Effortless, glassy and enviably chic, here's why I recommend giving them a go.
Moroccanoil High Shine Gloss Mask
Silky, soft and impossibly glossy. This fast-acting mask (we're talking 5-7 minutes) is the secret to hair that looks as though it’s been professionally blow-dried and glossed in one go.
Powered by Moroccanoil’s patented ArganID™ technology, the formula heroes a nutrient-rich argan oil to repair and seal the hair cuticle from within. The result is strands that feels supple and smooth.
A blend of crambe abyssinica seed oil adds a reflective veil that enhances colour vibrancy, while hydrolysed quinoa locks in moisture and smooths the cuticle. Added Panthenol (vitamin B5) delivers hydration and shine, while an amino acid blend helps strengthen and detangle.
It's a high-nourishment formula that transforms the texture and tone of your hair after just one use. In consumer studies, 95% of users agreed their hair had a gloss-like finish and... I see why.
I applied it after shampooing, combed it through with a wide-tooth comb and let it sit for five minutes. Their famed scent alone - warm, clean and subtly exotic - made the process feel like a salon ritual. Once rinsed, my hair instantly felt softer and blowdried with ease. No pull or overt slip.
I also noticed quite a reduction in frizz. My strands looked smoother, felt strong and most importantly - looked the glow-getting part.
Plus, the brand’s iridescent packaging is crafted from 87% post-consumer recycled plastic - which earns it a sustainability point, too.
Moroccanoil High Shine Gloss Mask
This has quickly become one of my favourite hair oils - it's featherlight (nearly weightless) yet deeply nourishing.
Dosed with argan oil and linseed extract, the mist absorbs instantly to deliver a hit of hydration and shine without the heaviness.
It’s designed for all hair types but feels particularly revolutionary for those with fine hair - 95% of users agreed it doesn’t weigh hair down, and 92% of fine-haired testers now call it their go-to product.
Impressively, the formula enhances shine by up to 141%, tames flyaways and even reduces blow-dry time.
I spritzed it through mid-lengths and ends before blow-drying (yes, it did seem to make things a little quicker) and again lightly once my hair was styled. Despite the generous applications, my hair still felt soft to touch (product was barely detectable) and beheld that coveted reflective shine. It was truly next-level.
I found myself reaching for it not only before styling but throughout the week to revive second-day hair and add a touch of sheen. It did wonders for my parched ends.
