Healing is something that my hair needs a lot of.

After years of dying, Crazy Colour and general neglect, my hair is not in the best shape.

Unsurprisingly, I jumped at the chance to try L’anza Keratin Healing Oil when the offer passed my desk.

Even though I wasn’t entirely sure what it was, I knew it would be good if it included ‘keratin’ - that word my hairdressers throws around while I smile and nod, and pretend to know what it means.

The product is said to nourish and protect dry and stressed hair while restoring botanical oils and hydrating.

End result? Soft, smooth and healthy hair.

Application is conveniently simple. Run a few drops through damp hair before blowdrying into shape.

Luckily, like what can be often the case with some oil, it doesn’t leave my hair looking greasy at all but actually does what it promises to do.

My hair has been much smoother and easier to manage since I started adding the Healing Oil to my routine. How did I even cope without it?

Verdict: four stars

L’anza Keratin Healing Oil, RRP £22.95, is available online.
