Promoting her hit TV series Stranger Things’ fifth season, Millie Bobby Brown looked flawless on The Tonight Show with immaculate hair you can copy without breaking the bank
Following the highly anticipated release of the fifth and final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, some of us are wondering just how Millie Bobby Brown gets her hair looking so luxurious and healthy. And thanks to her hairstylist, we now know the secret behind her luscious locks.
Taking to his social media page, Millie’s stylist, Pete Burkill, revealed that there’s one brand he recommends to all his clients to ensure shiny and nourished curls, writing: “I’ve always recommended MONDAY to my clients”. And what’s more, the brand is incredibly affordable, with its highly-rated Leave-In Conditioner costing a budget-friendly £5 at Boots.

Although it’s not specified that this is one of the products the hairstylist used on Millie the night she appeared on The Tonight Show, this spray is a fan-favourite from the brand’s haircare line.
Described as a multitasker that promotes longer, healthier hair, this leave-in conditioner deeply hydrates and protects from heat and breakage. With hyaluronic acid to optimise moisture levels, plus shea butter, wheat protein and jojoba and almond oils, this leave-in treatment leaves hair feeling soft, shiny and frizz-free.
This product boasts a formula that is dermatologically tested, pH-balanced and free from SLS. What’s more, MONDAY Haircare is approved as cruelty-free under the Leaping Bunny programme and is PETA-certified as a brand that does not test on animals.
Retailing for an affordable £5, this haircare gem has garnered plenty of praise from shoppers. One 5-star reviewer writes: “Works very well with my 4c hair. I’ve often found that most leave in conditioners clumps my hair together when the conditioner has dried. This one is perfect and very affordable. I add to damp hair, add a bit of the conditioner, and comb through after my hair is dry, it does not clump.”
Another shopper shares: “I wasn’t expecting to like it, but I really do. As someone whose hair is naturally frizzy, this had helped a lot. I usually apply it after I towel dry hair, love the smell and it makes my hair silkier. Cute packaging.”
And a third buyer beams: “This leave-in conditioner is lightweight but super hydrating – my hair feels soft, smooth, and much easier to manage. It doesn’t leave any greasy residue and smells fresh without being too strong. I’ve noticed less frizz and more shine since using it, so it’s definitely earned a spot in my routine!”
Though customer knocks a couple of stars off, noting: “I’ve been using the Monday Leave-In Conditioner for a few weeks now, and I think it’s okay — but I haven’t really noticed any significant difference in my hair. The scent is nice and the texture is light, which I appreciate, but in terms of results, it hasn’t done much for me. My hair doesn’t feel particularly more hydrated or smoother after using it, and I haven’t seen any real improvement in frizz or manageability. It’s not a bad product, but it just didn’t deliver the kind of results I was hoping for. It might work better for other hair types, but for me, it’s just average.”
But overwhelming praise comes from this shopper who says: “Absolutely amazing! Would use again and again! Great price, great texture, great scent. Easy to use pump bottle so it doesn’t slip when using it like some make you do.”
And another gushes: “Really enjoyed using this leave-in conditioning treatment. Ive noticed a big change over the last 4 weeks of using it. My hair feels more healthy and stronger. I love the packaging however the tiny little stopper at the top of the bottle where the product comes out – I wish it was a little bigger. Great value for money though for a conditioning treatment that leaves my hair so soft!”
Another affordable leave-in conditioner to consider is this HASK Argan Oil 5-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner Spray, which also boasts an affordable price tag as it sells for £7.49 on Amazon.
If you don’t mind splashing out, consider the Moroccanoil All in One Leave-in Conditioner for £27 at Lookfantastic or the No.5 Leave-In Moisturise & Mend Leave-In Conditioner from Olaplex for £30.
