Ever wondered how a glamorous actress keeps her hair in tip top condition? Thankfully, Elizabeth Hurley has shared her secret to boosting the hydration of her strands overnight.
Keeping your haircare arsenal stocked with one of the best conditioners for fine hair or the best conditioners for curly hair, whichever suits your hair’s needs, is essential. However, sometimes a conditioner doesn’t quite cut it and your hair can be left craving an intense moisture hit.

For those not wanting to splash the cash on a luxury leave-in formula, or those who are in immediate need of a hydration boost, Elizabeth Hurley has just the nourishing sleep-in hair mask for you – and you can easily create it from the comfort of her own home.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Elizabeth unveiled the contents of her beauty bag, including the luxe La Mer Revitalising Mist for refreshing her skin throughout the day and the “phenomenal” Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment.
However, when quizzed on her secret to fabulous hair, the actress noted the two brands she relies on: “I use Aveda and Origins hair products, which smell gorgeous. Also, I trust them to use good ingredients.”
