They said: “Sunburn, product build up and our favourite clean-girl slick buns can all contribute to a disrupted barrier. This multi-tasking mask is ready to ascend into your weekly routine.
“When your microbiome is thriving, you get big benefits as this mask will relieve flakes, itching and irritation so you can go longer between washes. You can grow longer, thicker and stronger hair while it restores shine and protects against future damage.”
One shopper liked the soothing sensation of the mask and said: “This saved my sunburnt scalp today!”

Australian TikToker Isabel Petzl-Duncan tried the Halo Hydrator and said she even used it to create her slick bun look. She said: “It’s not a hair mask, it’s a scalp mask. I just brushed my hair and I’m going to part it.
“And I’m just going to apply this to my head. It’s got a really nice cooling sensation.”
She then made sure no flyaways sticking out and she tied her hair up in a ponytail before twisiting the hair into a bun and used a second hair band to secure it.
“This is my slick back bun,” she turned around and turned back to the camera with a smile.

The Halo Hydrator contains niacinamide, which aides in hair thickening and fullness, wastar pink berry to relieve scalp irritation and redness; and also hydrating aloe vera and hyaluaronic acid.
Shoppers can use this up to two times per week and you can leave it on for 10 to 30 minutes, or sleep in overnight if you want extra moisture hit. Rinse out and follow with your preferred shampoo and conditioner.
Other than Straand, Hair Proud’s leave-in scalp and hair moisturiser could be a more affordable option. It’s retailed for £8.95 at Beauty Bay and you can spray it on your hair and scalp to repair, de-frizz and add shine.
