back for the fall and ready to blog!
So the other day I went out to get the mail and I found something exciting in the mail! L'ORÈAL had sent me a free sample of their smooth intense shampoo, conditioner and xtreme straight cream. They also included a $1 off coupon. Awesome! I LOVE free stuff! So I decided I had to try it and review it!
It claims to have 72 hours of ultra-polished frizz control! That sounds great because my hair can certainly get frizzy, especially when it's humid out! I was super excited to try it out!
The shampoo and conditioner were fine. I didn't feel that there was anything extra special about it. It had a very strong floral fragrance. It was fine for me, but I can see how this could really bother some people.
Next I used the smooth intense xtreme straight crème! It sounds so fancy... You put a quarter size amount in your hands and work it through your hair before blow drying it. I was really excited for this part- I figured this product would be the miracle worker I needed to de-frizzify my hair.
My hair was no longer frizzy... But it was extremely oily and gross looking! It left a horrible residue on my hair and it did not make my hair "straight" what so ever...
I ended up washing my hair again with my regular shampoo and conditioner because I could not stand the oily residue on my hair.
Boo hoo! I was really disappointed! :(
But I do want to say kudos to L'ORÈAL for sending me free samples and coupons! Even if I didn't like the products (at all) I am still impressed at how they take care of their customers.
These products were part of the advanced hair care line by L'ORÈAL. There are 5 different groups of products for different hair needs....
1. Power moisture for dry hair
2. Triple resist for fragile hair
3. Total repair 5 for damaged hair
4. Color vibrancy for color-treated hair
5. Smooth intense for frizzy hair (what I reviewed!)
Have you ever tried any of these products? Did you like them? Have a product for me to review? Let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear from you!
