After a summer of sun, beaches and pools, don’t let split ends and serious frizz be the only long-lasting momentos.  Moisturise that mad mane with a hair mask.  At the prices we found, you can forget about your regular way of masking damage, i.e. that post-summer ponytail, and get your hair back to its pre-summer shine.

Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask, £23.35 for 250 ml, turns a ball of frizz into beautifully fabulous hair. Yes, you read that right: Moroccanoil is finally here in the UK.  Thank hair heaven for that. Using a slew of hair-saving vitamins and precious Moroccan Argan oil, this mask resurrects your hair in just 10 minutes. Just apply the mask to wet hair, rinse out and watch your hair go from lack lustre to luscious. It’s available at select salons  (call 0800 310 1133 or visit Moroccanoil.com for stocklists). The money-saving mask, Mark Hill’s Intensive Conditioning Mask, £5.99 at Boots, is the moisture-rich alternative to pretty hair for penny pinchers. Put a generous amount onto wet hair and leave it for as long as you can.
