I had the privilege of trialing this new product and I was definitely a happy chappy to open the box and see a L’Oreal Paris range designed to strengthen my hair, prevent split ends and achieve longer locks! Just wait I need!
I found this the perfect little bottle to use to hydrate and protect my hair. I mainly used it during the trial period to protect my hair before using heat products. I had no concern using it for this and found the cream easy to apply and spread between my locks. My hair felt hydrated and not dry and lifeless after use and I will definitely continue to use this product.
I received this product to trial, and I was really intrigued by it, who doesn’t want to go to the hairdresser less and lose half your hair length??
The packaging on this product is a nice colour and feels nice to the touch. The cap seals really well, and it dispenses product really well. The label is really hard to read, so if you actually want to read the ingredients, I recommend a magnifying glass!!
The pros: absorbs really well into wet or dry hair. I first tried this just on the ends of my dry hair using around a 10 cent size blob, and it smoothed the frizz really well.
I used a bit more (probably too much in hindsight!) on wet hair, probably around a 50 cent blob), and while it absorbed really well, the scent of the product became really apparent, leading me to-
The cons: really just one, but it’s a bit of a dealbreaker in my house, this product doesn’t smell the best. I personally don’t mind it, but my partner pretty much refused to come near me until the following day because he really hated it, so maybe best to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to chemical scents.
As a product, it seems to do what it says on the bottle, and I’ll keep using it through dry hair where the scent is less noticeable. Impossible to tell if I’ll have fewer splits, or need for a hair trim after a week trial, but it’s promising so far, and my hair definitely drinks it in. Not sure if I’ll purchase it, as it’s pretty polarising in my house, and I still love my argan oil which smells better!!
