Superdrug are my go to for cruelty-free beauty; all of their own brand items are leaping bunny approved and suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Also they're very cheap! So I was pretty excited to discover the 'This One' range; pretty purple packaging gets me every time. This summer my hair has turned into a dry, dull and frizzy mess, so I was counting on these to rescue it.
This One Shine Mist
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
I really wanted this one to work; my hair has been completely limp and lacklustre for a while now and I was hoping for a quick fix. Alas, this is not the one. I started by spraying it on just one side of my hair so I could judge the difference properly. It gives a nice subtle shimmer and does make my dip dyed hair stand out more, but not as much as I was hoping. I don't think it's really worth it for the extra product in my hair. On the plus side, it was cheap (I got it half price for £1.73) and worth a try to find out.

This One Volumising Dry Shampoo
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
I've been looking for a really good, cruelty-free dry shampoo for a long time. I'm still yet to find one. This one is ok. It smells nice, which is a good thing as it does take quite a lot of the product to get rid of greasy roots. It does volumise a bit too and works to give your hair a bit of body. But, you are left with a stiff sort of feeling that a lot of volumising sprays result in.
On a positive note, the spray is pretty much clear so you don't end up with white powder all over your hair like some dry shampoos can do (handy if you're a brunette). And it's also easy to brush out, which gets rid of that stiff feeling, and it washed out just fine. I also got this for half price at £1.48. I'll use it up and then find a different one.

This One Replenishing Treatment
Suitable for vegetarians.
This one is lovely. Previously I've tried making my own homemade hair masks with disastrous results, so I gave in and bought this tub. It smells yummy, feels nourishing and has a generous amount of product. The directions are to wash and dry your hair, then apply and leave it in for 5-10 minutes. I've been leaving it in for at least 30 minutes once a week, wrapped up underneath a shower cap and it's no trouble to rinse out afterwards. I've been using it for a month now and although it's no miracle worker, my hair is definitely in better condition with less frizz, leaving it softer, smoother and easier to style.
