This £15 hair mask leaves locks 'salon soft' for days and works in minutes
The Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Mask is one of four new offerings from the brand's latest line, which guarantees mirror-like shine and 96-hour frizz control
Frizzy, dry, and dull hair are common woes for those with textured, coloured, or heat-styled tresses and a problem exacerbated by the recent sweltering and humid weather. However, a £15 hair mask promising sleek, 'salon fresh' locks in just three minutes has been getting glowing reviews from customers.
The Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Mask is one of four new products from the brand's latest collection, promising mirror-like glossiness and 96-hour frizz control. The line also features a shampoo, conditioner, and serum, offering a complete hair care routine.
Yet, it's the mask that's capturing all the attention, lauded by users as a 'post-shower pampering' essential that's 'worth every penny.' This skincare-inspired range features key ingredients such as squalane, commonly found in high-end facial oils, for lightweight moisture, and omega-9, a fatty acid renowned for its softening and conditioning effects on hair.
This hydrating hair mask promotes silky, luminous locks and is available for £15.60 for a handy 75ml tube or £30.25 for a larger 150ml pot. Designed for weekly use, the Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Hair Mask rejuvenates the look and feel of dry, frizz-prone hair, with results reportedly lasting up to three days.

Product Description
It's also vegan, cruelty-free, and works alongside any existing shampoo and conditioner routine. Nevertheless, combining it with the complete Ultimate Smooth collection, particularly the Miracle Oil Serum, significantly enhances the results, according to the Liverpool Echo.
For those still considering their options, numerous other anti-frizz hair treatments are also worth considering. The Kérastase Discipline Maskeratine (currently £36.05 reduced from £39.10, Amazon), for example, offers intensive conditioning, noticeable hair restoration and improved manageability.
Alternatively, the Living Proof No Frizz Intense Moisture Mask (£38, Selfridges) features a silicone-free formulation designed to strengthen the hair's natural protective layer. It seeks to guard against humidity damage whilst providing sleek, lustrous outcomes.
Although relatively new to the beauty market, the Ultimate Smooth Hair Mask has already gained numerous fans, earning an outstanding 4.86-star rating from users. One delighted customer shared: "Amazing hair mask. A lovely post-shower pampering of my hair. My hair is shinier and softer all within three minutes, which is amazing. It smells amazing and is packaged beautifully, too. Worth every penny."
Another satisfied user remarked: "I enjoyed this product, not only did it smell incredible, it left my hair with that fresh salon soft for days, I also found that I wasn't having to wash my hair as often as if it still looked and felt clean."
Whilst the product has received largely positive feedback, some customers have noted the fragrance can be powerful. One shopper remarked: "I used this on clean and wet hair a couple of times. I didn't like the scent at all, but I can say it has left my hair feeling nourished, smooth, and soft. My hair is normally a bit frizzy, but this has left it feeling nice."
Another buyer offered their verdict, stating: " Lovely mask for dull, dry and frizzy hair. Scent might feel a bit overwhelming. Nice texture and a small amount needed. Feeds hair nicely and leaves it shiny, while also managing frizz. Good value for money. I would recommend it as it does what it says."
A further review noted: "This hair mask smells lovely, plus it is lightweight and gentle on the hair, beautifully detangles the hair, perfect for dry and frizzy hair."
