I don't pay much of attention to my hair for a variety of reasons, ie. - It usually makes my hair feel gross and I feel like I need to wash it out asap - I'm scared greasy products, especially those containing oils, will break me out if they get onto my face - I really can't be bothered
This regime was perfect for someone like me. The hair mask can be used for as short as 5 minutes, so it wasn't a time consuming routine. I applied the hair mask 5 minutes before hopping into the shower, rinsed it out with the shampoo, applied the conditioner to the ends of my hair and then rinsed that out a minute later, then applied the oil to the ends of my wet hair. Done! Even though I didn't spend much time on my hair by leaving in any products overnight, my hair still felt incredibly smooth!
The products weren't greasy and didn't leave any gross residue in my hair. I was surprised that I got away without washing my hair for 3 days and my scalp still wasn't greasy! I was especially enthused that it didn't grease up my pillow and make me break out.
This regime is so simple yet so effective. My hair feels so soft and silky, and isn't as frizzy as it usually is. The oil and mask can be used in heaps of different ways, on wet or dry hair, for different periods of time, so I'm excited to experiment and see what works best for my hair type.
I’ve been using the set of shampoo, conditioner, mask and oil together after receiving them to trial.
L’oreal are good at making matching sets of products like this and I like using them as a set. This is like having two sets, with the option to use either the mask or the oil, and the oil can be used in several different ways. Or you can use all four products together. That’s great value for less than $50 for the four products.
I love the matching packaging and having lots of options for how to use the products. That they are coconut oil – based is wonderful, as I love coconut oil and have dry hair so oil-based products are very good for me.
The shampoo is light and clear, and cleans my hair without staining or leaving any heaviness or residue. The conditioner is a creamy white lotion, and is also light and leaves my hair feeling soft and hydrated. The mask is thicker than the conditioner and can be used in several different ways. I find a little is all it takes to leave my hair feeling conditioned, weightless and soft, which is what the product claims. The oil is lovely. As per the directions, I rub 2 – 3 drops between my palms then work through the ends of my hair. The result is soft frizz-free ends that look hydrated and healthy.
Overall this is a very good set of products. I love them using them together. They all share the delicious coconut scent that remains in my hair after use. I rub the residual oil into my hands after applying it to my hair and my hands end up soft and scented also!
I highly recommend this set, and the products individually, especially for those with dry, fine hair like mine.
Tips: Use the set together if you can - it's lovely. Later on I'll add some comments about how the set performed long term and what changes I can notice to my hair.
