Who it's for: great for anyone who wants to stretch the time between washes, especially if you're active or just short on time in the morning. It works across hair types and colours, though it takes a bit of practice to apply evenly.

What stands out: it works fast, usually within a minute or two of massaging it in, and beyond just soaking up oil it adds a noticeable bit of volume and texture, so it doubles as a quick styling boost even on days your hair isn't actually greasy.

Worth knowing before you buy: spray it from a bit of a distance and massage it in properly, rather than close up in one spot, or you'll end up with a visible white residue that takes some brushing out to fully blend away. At £4.45 for 350ml it's also one of the better value sizes compared to the smaller bottles.
