We're only a few weeks into this summer Love Island series and there have already been some memorable beauty moments, but Ella Thomas' pool-side curls have been the real stand-out. The model swaps seamlessly between sleek updos, evening looks and her natural curly daytime hair – we love a girl who can switch it up!
After watching her lounging by the pool with perfectly defined curls, we've been wondering what she's using to protect and nourish her hair while she's in the drying conditions of sunshine and chlorine. Thankfully, in-villa glam room stockist Boots has clued us into her go-to product – and it's a bargain.
Ella loves Shea Moisture Curl Enhancer Coconut and Hibiscus Smoothie, £8.66 here, which blends coconut extract with other hair-softening oils to hydrate, define and condition your wavy, curly or coily hair. For best results, the brand recommends using the smoothie as a hair styling cream for twist-outs, braids and wash-and-go styles. Since it contains no sulphates, silicones, parabens, phthalates or mineral oils, it's a perfect pick for those looking for a more natural formula.
It seems Ella isn't the only user to be sold on its results, either. The item has plenty of glowing four and five-star reviews on Boots, with many praising the affordable product for working wonders on their curls and coils.
"It helped bring out the waves of my hair, they are so much more defined and getting better after every use. A little goes a long way and works best for me. Leaves my hair so soft and I love the smell," raves one.
A second writes: "I have naturally curly and frizzy hair but due to years of bleaching it’s been hard to find a product that defines my curls. I’ve tried so many products over the years and nothing comes close to this. This product is amazing! I love the smell, and a little goes such a long way. I’ve had the tub for months and it doesn’t even seem like I’ve used any. My curls are more defined and my frizz is tamed, and I am always being complimented on my hair since using this product. Would highly recommend!"
