Review - L'Oreal Series Expert Absolut Repair Cellular Masque

Wow, it has been a week plus since I last posted anything. I was too caught up with outings, random shopping and of course, sleep. My favourite thing in the world. SLEEP! Oink oink!

Well, time for another review. This time round, it's a hair masque by L'Oreal!

I rarely use hair masque except for times when I visit the salon. Sometimes I get the chance to use them when I do hair treatment, but I barely do treatments. Heck, I barely care for my hair. That's why it ended up totally dried up and super damaged. And the color changed from black to brown. My mum always said my hair did not obtain enough "nutrition", but I don't really pay attention in taking care of my hair. Since I got this repairing masque from The Lilac Box 7, I might as well try it out! :D


Product Description:
L'Oreal Series Expert Absolut Repair Cellular Lactic Acid Repairing Masque 
(75ml / 2.55 fl.oz.)

Repairing masque for very damaged hair.

Lactic acid is able to create saline bonds between the keratin chains exposed in the cortex of damaged hair fibres. As it transformed, hair is left soft, supple with a natural-looking shine.

Usage Directions :
Apply and work into shampooed hair or towel dried hair. Leave on for two minutes. Rinse.

Review :
My first impression of this product is that it felt almost like cheese. It's kind of slippery to touch, but more solid than a gel at the same time. Not to mention that it's yellow in color. Yep. There's no mistake. Definitely cheese in a jar.

After using it, my hair did become soft and smoother. More manageable too. I did not see any split ends on my hair after using this product, so I would say it's pretty effective in repairing my damaged hair. Maybe because it wasn't that dry anymore, I see some shine(?) when I observe my hair closely. But it's not super shiny until the other galaxy can see me, nothing like that. 

One pleasant thing I noticed (and I'm really glad) is that it did not have the sticky effect like the shampoo from the same Lactic acid series. At first I thought the sticky effect was because of the LACTIC ACID, in which it's not a common ingredient in hair products. But I guess it wasn't really because of that, as I did not experience any stickiness after using this product. 

Overall, I'm pleased with the results! But I'm still getting used to adding this "hair masque" thing into my hair routine (I don't have a hair routine, really. Just shampoo and conditioner, the most). To be honest, I was quite lazy to wait for another 2 minutes in the bathroom, but I will continue to do so until this product finishes. :P I'm a lazy bum. That's my nature.

My Verdict:
Pros:
  • Makes hair soft and smooth
  • Repairs my damaged hair and split ends
Cons:
  • Shine effect is not obvious
