Michelle Keegan’s luscious brunette locks are one of the things that makes us all so envious of her drop-dead gorgeous looks. That, and her flawless skin, of course, which we now all know to be thanks to this Embryolisse moisturiser.
The Brassic actress has revealed the secret behind her shiny trademark mane - and it’s surprisingly more affordable than a trip to the hairdressers.
The 34-year-old told her 5.7 million Instagram followers that she swears by a £15 hair mask from Give Me Cosmetics. And you can bag two for £11.20 in a bundle deal.

The post, from August 2020, saw the ex-Corrie star style her hair with the product, admitting she was initially dubious about the unheard-of brand.
She said: “I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of it before, didn’t know if it was going to work. I used it once and the results were amazing.”
Michelle had taken the Give Me Cosmetics hair mask on a holiday to Ibiza with husband Mark Wright, and after achieving soft and shiny hair after one use, she revealed that it’s now part of her weekly hair care routine.
Michelle went on to wash and towel dry her hair, showing fans how much product to apply, and where to apply it, leaving it on for 10 minutes before rinsing. She then showed her lush blow-dried mane, highlighting how shiny the treatment mask had left her hair. Inspired having suffered from dull hair for a while, I bought not one, but two bottles in the hopes for some dramatic results.
One bottle of the mask costs £15, but you can pay the extra £1 and get two for £16. If you go halves with a mate, it’s really only £8 each. But there's currently a discount code for 30 per cent off, meaning you can get them both for £11.20 using the code ALL30.
It’s also said to be popular with singers Rita Ora and Nicole Scherzinger, according to the brand. With such an esteemed clientele base, it’s safe to say that I had pretty high expectations.
Made with argan oil and coconut oil, the creamy mask smells incredible and you only need a grape-sized amount for your whole head, meaning one 100ml tube will last quite a long time with weekly use.
After a double shampoo with Superdrug’s new Me+ hair care range, I went in with the Give Me hair mask, running it through my hair from root to tip, using my fingers to detangle any knots along the way.
I waited 10 minutes like Michelle before rinsing it off, and it already felt 10 times softer than usual before blow-drying. The mask is said to revitalise dry and damaged hair, as well as offer a smooth and deep conditioned finish.

The bleached area around my face can certainly dry out without conditioner, and this looked just as shiny and bouncy as the rest of my hair. In fact, it was so elasticised that after tying it up, there were no bobble marks left in it either.
Using it once a week doesn’t feel like a huge commitment like other products, and the results were both instant and visible, which is exactly what you want from a hair mask.
I used mine on a Sunday evening and found my hair to be smooth, shiny and bouncy for at least three days, with a wash in between too.
