review. This review is for the L'oreal Paris Advanced
Haircare line. This is their brand new Extraordinary oil
curls line. This is for their deep treatment.
Before I get into today's review, I'm going
to let you guys know what I am wearing today. This is the Annie Wig. She is synthetic and this is a half wig. If you missed that try on/review, I'll have
it linked on the screen right now for you to check out.
I received the entire brand new L'oreal Paris
Extraordinary curls line courtesy of Influenster. They sent me the entire collection. I had everything except for the serum; the
shampoo, conditioner as well as this hair mask. I got to try it out for free.
These opinions are honest and true and I was
sent the product for free. You may have seen this hair mask featured
in my Trash or Stash of 2016 video as well as my mom's natural hair TWA wash day routine. I used this a lot on her hair in conjunction
with the Arvazallia deep conditioner to help her hair grow back and get that moisture back
into her hair. Let's get into the specs first.
This is the L'oreal Paris Advanced haircare
line. This is their brand new Extraordinary Oil
Complex Oil curls and re-nourishing mask. This mask is available in all of your local
drugstores but I'll also have it linked in the description box below. It comes in this standard 8.5Oz size.
It's a really small, little jar with a removable
top just like any normal conditioner. It smells super luxurious. You can smell pretty much all of the oils
that are in it. It smells really great and luxurious.
It has a golden thick consistency to it. It has this nice, pretty gold color to it. It looks super expensive. It's available in all of your local drugstores
for about $5.99 Depending on where you get it from.
At the least, it's about $5.99. It goes all the way up to about $7, I've seen. It's very affordable and won't break the bank. Unlike most deep treatment masks, this mask
was a part of a collection of products.
This is part of the entire Oil Complex Extraordinary
Curls line. It comes with a series of shampoos and conditioners
and serums to match with the formula. Whenever a product is formulated with an entire
collection, the directions will be a little bit different. They'll tell you to use it along with the
rest of the products in the line to get the best optimal results.
Of course, because this is a deep treatment
hair mask, this would be the very last and final step in the entire formula. You would start with the shampoo, the conditioner,
then follow up with the hair mask. This hair mask is formulated just like all
of the other products for dry, curly or damaged hair. It's great for getting back in that moisture
into the hair, get it nice and silky/soft.
Now that we've gotten all of the specs out
of the way, let get into the pros and cons. As far as the pros, its very nourishing. I love the fact that it's very affordable. I was super excited to see L'oreal step into
the whole curly hair scene.
Not so much natural hair, but getting into
more textured hair lines and hair formulas. A lot of their formulas from mom experience
and what I've seen, are a lot of blonde/straight haircare lines. They didn't really have much for texture,
so I was super excited to see this. I think the formula is great.
It's amazing for naturally curly hair or even
dry hair. If you're suffering from dry, brittle ends,
this would be the perfect mask to put on your hair. The mask does not require any heat to be applied
for it to work. You pretty much just pop this bad boy on.
You can apply heat if you would like to but
you really don't need it. You can either pop on a shower cap while you're
in the shower or outside of the shower or just leave your hair to pretty much just marinate
that hair mask in while you do the rest of your stuff in your shower. You could kind've let that water and that
steam get into your hair. It smells amazing for a drugstore product.
It smells absolutely amazing. It doesn't really smell like it's super cheap
at all. The processing time on this is not super long. You can leave it on for about 10 minutes or
so.
I usually do it for about 5 minutes and I
see results pretty well. My hair comes out really nice and soft/detangled. I can easily get a brush through my hair once
I let this sit on my hair for just a few quick moments. Once you rinse out the mask, your hair will
feel so soft and manageable.
You can get straight into your styling; your
leave-in, oils, cream, whatever you want to get into. But your hair is going to be super soft and
de-tangled and ready for styling. Getting into the cons, this is a drugstore
product so ingredients are not going to be amazing. It's only a $6 product but the ingredients
list on this product is extremely long.
Ya'll know how I feel about ingredients. I don't feel like you need a ton of ingredients
just to make something work on someone's hair. There's just a ridiculous amount of ingredients. There's like a paragraph of ingredients.
This is a mainstream brand so that comes with
the territory. It's also a drugstore product for only $6
so you get that little trade-off. But, it's not that bad if you're on a budget. My other con, which isn't really a con too
much is the fact that it's part of a system.
Unlike all of the other deep treatments that
I've used that aren't part of a system, you don't have to get their shampoo or their conditioner. If you're on a budget; like a really tight
budget and you just want a hair mask, ideally you want a hair mask that you can just kind've
use and integrate with other products that you have already in your existing regimen
or just use with other products that you're going to use period. Whenever you get a product that's part of
a collection, it's like they force you to get the shampoo and the conditioner to really
get the benefits of the formula. That's kind've a little bit of a downfall.
If you're really on a tight budget and you're
not trying to buy the entire collection or if you don't like the shampoo or the conditioner
that's in this collection, you're kind've stuck using it. I personally feel like there are better hair
masks out there that are not part of collections. You can pretty much integrate them with any
shampoo or conditioner of your choice. So, I personally was not really feeling that
aspect of this hairline.
As far as tips and tricks for this particular
mask, I highly suggest that you put this onto wet or damp hair; preferably soaking wet hair
because it's super thick. The formula is so thick that a little bit
does not really go a long way. So, I suggest that you apply this to super
soaking wet hair that way you get a little bit and really stretch that product throughout
your hair. It only comes in this small jar, for someone
that has super thick curly hair, since it's formulated for our hair, we have a lot of
hair and it's going to take a lot of product if you do this on damp hair or less wet hair.
I also highly suggest that you add on a plastic
cap for extra penetration if you really need that extra little push of moisture into your
hair. Other than that I like the deep treatment. I feel like it's an okay product if you're
on a budget and you don't really have as much to spend. Ya'll know, I live for my Arvazallia products
so I love my Arvazallia deep treatment.
It's a little bit more expensive compared
to this L'oreal but I really love it! Like I said, if you're on a budget and you
just want something to grab, you could probably give this a try. It's not the best that I've seen in this price
range. I've seen a little bit better product. Let me know in the comments below, what do
you guys think of this new L'oreal Paris line.
Are you guys happy that they're starting to
push out more curly hair products are naw? I love you guys and I'll see you guys in the
next video!.
