Shoppers are praising the glossy, shiny results of this new five-minute hair mask, saying it leaves your hair looking like you’ve just stepped out of the hair salon

Shiny hair always looks expensive, we think, but it’s not always easy to achieve, dry, damaged or bleached hair in particular can often struggle to reflect the light in a flattering way without the help of professional treatments. However, shoppers think they’ve hit upon an at-home solution that gives salon-worthy shine for a fraction of the price.

Moroccanoil’s new High Shine Gloss Mask has stacked up dozens of really impressive five-star reviews online, with shoppers calling it “a must-have in between salon visits” and “one of the best hair masks [they] have ever used”. While a large 200ml tube costs £28 from retailers such as Lookfantastic and Sephora, you can also buy a smaller 75ml bottle for £17 – ideal if you want to try it out for less first.

Formulated with something called ‘ ArganID technology’, this five-minute mask “instantly boosting shine while also revitalising hair colour between appointments”, says Moroccan oil. In the brand’s trials, 95% of users said it gave their hair a gloss-like finish, while 96% said hair felt richly conditioned.

And Sephora shoppers clearly agree. “I have to say I really liked this mask. After using it, my hair felt super soft and had such a beautiful shine. It wasn’t greasy or heavy, just smooth and glossy in the best way. I got a bunch of compliments, which never hurts”! one person wrote, adding, “What really surprised me was how long it lasted… Honestly, it’s one of those products I’d definitely keep using when I want my hair to look extra polished without a ton of effort”.

“It is quick and easy to use. My hair felt so soft, smooth and shiny. It made it look healthy and my hair colour is more vibrant”, another review reads. “I felt like I just got off the salon after this treatment. Highly recommend”.

A third person agreed, writing: “The high class shine mask is literally perfect for my hair. I always love the scents of Moroccan oil products and this one is no exception. Even my husband asked if I had just gone to the salon after using this product”.

Not every customer was completely won over though, with one person calling it “a really nice shine treatment” but saying that “I personally have very fine, thin hair and do feel like this weighs my hair down vs similar products I’ve tried.” If this sounds like something you might be concerned about too, you might want to instead try something like OUAI Fine-Medium Hair Treatment Masque, £34, or Philip Kingsley’s cult classic Elasticizer Intensive Treatment, currently reduced to £31.20.

Exclusive: Oasis duo Liam and Noel Gallagher are seen at a secret location for the first time in 16 years as they gear up for the sensational return of the band

Rockers Noel and Liam Gallagher have both been pictured at rehearsals for Oasis’s comeback world tour as they played together for the first time in 16 years.

The pair arrived separately, with Liam coming via van while Noel took the tube. Liam was pictured with several packets of Lockets and cough syrup in the back seat, suggesting his voice was in need of a tune-up.

Noel meanwhile was seen at Paddington tube before making the trip across town to the secret recording location on the District Line. It is just a month before their first show at Cardiff ‘s Principality Stadium on July 4.

A source said: “It was extremely exiciting having Noel and Liam in the same room. The excitement for the tour is off the charts”. Speaking to fans online, an excited Liam, 52, said he was feeling “biblical”.

But the rocker warned he would not pose for any selfies outside the rehearsal space, saying: “You won’t see me. I’m not a poser. I’ll be in and out”. He also told another fan: “I’m fine, loving life, how about you”.

Noel, 57, guitarists Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs and Gem Archer and bassist Andy Bell have already started rehearsing without Liam. Asked previously if reherasals had begun, Liam told a fan: “YES and apparently they’re sounding EPIC.”

He also told another fan there would be “no themes” on stage, after his last Definitely Maybe solo tour had featured giant sized objects from the album cover. Also joining the band are keyboard player Christian Madden and drummer Joey Waronker.

Oasis split on August 28, 2009, after a backstage fight at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris. The brothers then spent over a decade throwing barbs at each other in the media and online.

Noel said he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” But the barbs all stopped after they were photographed together while confirming the hugely anticipated reunion last August.

That all changed with the announcement of the tour in August last year. The pair posed for several photos together confirming the band’s long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: “The great wait is over”.

After Cardiff, the band play Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin before heading off on a world tour with dates in the US, Australia, Brazil and Japan.

Richard Ashcroft and Cast have been confirmed as support acts for the UK and Ireland gigs. Oasis’s 1994 hit Live Forever has been crowned best British song of all time by Radio X.
