If you struggle with dry, damaged hair, then you'll know that bond repair treatments, such as Olaplex, are your go-to products for reviving your locks.

However, the popular hair care brand can be pricey, meaning many are often on the lookout for affordable alternatives. Luckily, the BoldPlex Bond Restore Treatment has been wowing beauty fans, with some suggesting it is "better than" the major brand.

In even better news, this highly sought after hair treatment is currently on offer on Amazon, with the online retailer slashing the cost of a generous 200ml sized tub from £19.99 to just £16.92.

Boasting over 15,000 five-star reviews, this affordable hydrating and conditoning treatment is designed for dryer hair types that are more prone to breakage, with one shopper saying her hair was left "shinier and stronger after one use."

Similar to Olaplex, the BoldPlex Treatment uses a bond-building formula that works on a molecular level to repair your natural hair proteins, leaving your hair stronger and smoother.

Designed to be used once a week, it can also smooth split ends, provide deep hydration and enhance your hair's strength and resilience for healthier looking hair.

With an impressive 4.4 out of five star rating on the Amazon website, it is easy to see why the BoldPlex Bond Restore Treatment has been snapped up by shoppers looking to restore their straw-like tresses on a budget.

One glowing review read: "My hair is extremely damaged with bleach and heat and was literally snapping constantly! This is my second purchase of this and the difference in my hair is unbelievable. Just as good as olaplex if not better!!"

If you're looking to get that Hollywood smile over Christmas without paying the big bucks, then you might consider using home treatments.

If you don't want to browse through the endless amount of products on offer, then you might to hear about teeth whitening strips that shoppers have been saying "exceed all expectations". Even better, they have been slashed by half price.

Leading teeth whitening brand HeySmile has just dropped the price of its bestselling Teeth Whitening Strips from £29.99 to £19.99, saving shoppers 50 percent off the RRP. Made from a scientifically-proven formula, there are 28 strips in one box.

These teeth whitening strips use industry-leading ingredients and a PAP whitening formula to break down teeth stains and deliver instant results. As they are vegan-friendly, you will find that they cause no sensitivity or irritation to your gums.

The HeySmile Strips are also super easy to use; all you need to do is brush your teeth and pop on a strip to your uppper and lower teeth. After 30 minutes, all you need to do is brush away any residue to reveal a brighter smile.

Impressed customers have given these teeth whitening strips so many glowing reviews they have a 4.9 rating, with high praise for delivering "immediate" results that have impressed even dentists.

One glowing review read: "Absolutely over the moon and the whitening strips exceeded all expectations. I have tried various whitening products over the years and these beat all hands down. My teeth started to get whiter after immediately."

A second praised: "This product is way better than Olaplex. Wish I'd tried this before spending so much on Olaplex. Not only do you get much more for your money this actually works! Brilliant product which is already showing results after two uses on my broken over processed hair. Plenty left too."

A third added: "Everytime I'm thinking of having a hair change I'll use this, mainly as an over night mask for a few months. In my opinion works better than the expensive repair products by a mile. Always walk out with really healthy hair even after bleach. Hair also looks so much better after use, results are instant."

A fourth simply said: "Immediately works. My hair is softer and shinier after just one use."

It is worth noting that the BoldPlex Hair Treatment might not work on all hair types, as one shopper said: "After reading so many good reviews I was excited to try but not so amazing as I thought."
