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.
