While the 2024 hair trends may span rich colours and eye-catching cuts, one simple thing we're always looking for is sleek and chic hair. Many of us are on the same mission to find the best hair styling products that actually work, whether that's the best straighteners for curly hair or the best curling irons for thick hair.
With so many hair styling products available on the market, shopping can feel like a difficult task. But look no further, as Nigella Lawson has just shared the products she reaches for daily to achieve her voluminous bouncy curls, along with a very relatable 'before' photo, to prove the styling prowess of her hair must-haves...

If, like us, you want to know exactly which haircare products Nigella Lawson reaches for daily, you're in luck as we've scouted out her six must-have recommendations...
RRP: £25
For a gentle yet effective cleanse, Lawson opts for this Fulvic Acid Shampoo from Victoria Heath which supports the health of the scalp, strengthens the locks and calms an itchy scalp. Particularly great for those suffering from hair loss, this formula is packed with Ioniplex® to help stimulate and re-activate hair growth.
RRP: £70
For those with dry and damaged locks due to heat styling, bleaching and colouring, it's worth introducing this leave-in treatment mask into your haircare routine. Just three pumps get to work straight away, repairing and restoring damaged strands - whilst also detangling and strengthening for a smooth and glossy finish.
RRP: £25
Of course, Lawson pairs her shampoo with the corresponding conditioner, which encourages shinier, thicker and fuller hair. Equipped with nutrients, minerals and aloe vera, this product aims to moisturise and nourish your hair without weighing it down and leaving a greasy finish.
RRP: £24
Wave goodbye to limp and lifeless hair with this volumiser from Color Wow. Loved for its thickening formula that adds a touch of volume that lasts for days, this foam encourages the hair cuticles to lift, instead of laying flat - without leaving that dreaded sticky and crispy texture.
If you're wondering where Lawson revealed the contents of her styling lineup, the food guru posted to her Instagram on 1st September 2024. The post showcased her bouncy and voluminous brunette curls, whilst giving a rare insight into the must-have products that make up her haircare arsenal.

Proving her relatability as a beauty icon, Lawson quipped that when it comes to hair "I mostly do nothing, and go out looking a complete mess." Although we'd argue Nigella looks anything but a mess, we do love a celebrity 'before' photo to cement the prowess of their beauty stash.
