After 10 weeks of putting the Cocoa Brown Hair Hero range to the test, the IMAGE team is ready to share their results. Designed to restore lost moisture, revive dull strands, and protect against heat damage, this four-piece collection promises soft, shiny, salon-worthy hair, but did it deliver? From smoother styling to healthier-looking lengths, here’s how they got on.

Ciara Cosgrove, Group Events & Partnerships Director

I’ve been really impressed with the new Cocoa Brown Hair Hero range. I have long, full hair that looks healthy but tends to get quite dry, especially through the ends, and I’ve definitely noticed a real improvement since using these products. My hair feels much softer, smoother, and more hydrated, and it’s become a lot easier to manage and style without feeling heavy or greasy.

What I’ve especially liked is that my hair still has volume, but it feels far more nourished and less frizzy, even on busy days when I don’t have much time to style it properly. It’s made a noticeable difference in my hair’s overall condition and feel.

They’ve also been absolutely brilliant for my daughter Lucy, who is five years old. Her hair can often get quite knotty, especially after washing, but these products have made it so much easier to brush through. Her hair is now softer, shinier, and much more manageable, making her mornings a nicer, tear-free experience!

Sophie Power, Chief Operations Officer

My hair is on the drier, duller, and more knot-prone side, so I’m always on the lookout for simple ways to boost hydration, tame my mane, and bring out as much shine as possible. I recently tried out the new Hair Hero Shampoo and Hair Hero Conditioner from Cocoa Brown and was really impressed. After just a few washes, I can already see and feel a difference – my hair feels noticeably softer, smoother and much more manageable. I am also a sucker for nice packaging, so I love seeing the pops of pink colour in my shower; they are an instant dopamine hit.

Jemma Martin, Senior Account Executive

Cocoa Brown’s new Hair Hero Bundle is a real game-changer for anyone looking to achieve healthier, glossier hair. As a blonde who colours my hair regularly, dryness and dullness can be a challenge, but this bundle with their gorgeous shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and heat protector has genuinely revived my locks.

The hair mask stands out for its rich, restorative formula. I like to apply it after shampooing and leave it on for around 15 minutes to let the ingredients work their magic. Packed with keratin, collagen, and aloe barbadensis leaf juice, it deeply hydrates and strengthens the hair, leaving it silky soft with a gorgeous shine. After just a few uses, my hair felt noticeably smoother and far more manageable.

The heat protector is another standout for me, especially as it’s lightweight, effective, and easy to bring when travelling. Beyond shielding hair from heat damage, its built-in anti-frizz properties keep strands sleek and polished, making it an everyday essential for maintaining smooth, healthy-looking hair.

Helen Conway, Event Manager

I personally think the resolutions you set in spring/summer are far more likely to stick than those made at New Year’s, and my summer resolution is hair health. I’ve recently taken the plunge to go from bleach blonde to a more natural brown, and with that, I’ve done a complete overhaul of my holy grail hair products.

The Cocoa Brown Hair Hero Shampoo and Conditioner set has brought back a natural shine to my hair that I thought was gone forever. Having incorporated the hair mask into my routine, even once every two weeks (I’m a busy girl!), I’ve noticed a substantial difference. The dullness is disappearing. I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of natural ingredients and a lack of sulfates when I read the fine print.
